Here's another clue. Fanny Dooley hates shoes, but she loves boots. Here's a game idea called Dr. Tangle from Brenda Santos of Hanson, Mass.
Oh, uh, a game, Dr. Tango, you get four or five, and one person goes to the corner and closes his eyes, while the other kids get tangled. Then when you're tangled, you say, Dr. Tango, out loud. So the person who is hiding their eyes will come over and try to untangle you. He can give up if he can't do it. Let's play. Okay. Who's going to hide their eyes? Me. Can I have my eyes? Three and four and five. Okay, I'm hiding your eyes. No, hide your eyes. Close your eyes. Okay, come on. Let's try this. Do you trust me? Just close your eyes. Okay. How long?

All right, now, I want you... You see, we were facing in the other time. Yeah, well... Good luck. You give up? Yeah. Yay! Hold it now. Let's figure out how we did this. What games do you know that you'd like to share with us? Send it to Zoom, Box 350, Boston, Mass., 02134. And now a Zoom movie sent in by Eric Pyle of Lexington, Massachusetts. It's called Third Time's Luck.
I've always dreamed of going to the moon. And I would like to say that I'm proud to be the first one-man expedition to the extra, Extra, extra, read all about it. One-man expedition going to moon. Extra, extra. I hope this gas is strong enough. B
Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep Ow! I'm off! Success! At last! Now I'm ready to land on the moon. I wish they'd tell me how to land this thing.
If you've made a movie and it's on either 16mm film or 8mm film and you think it's good, wrap it carefully so it won't get damaged and include a soundtrack if there is one. Don't forget your name and address, and send it all to Zoom, Box 350, Boston, Mass., 02134. Fanny Dooley hates to cry, but loves to weep. Who do you turn to when you're unhappy? Myself. Nobody. My father. My mother.
Might be my father, might be my mother. My brothers. My sister Judy, she always tells me what to do. It depends on who I'm unhappy about. I just think about it myself. Myself, usually, I just go to bed and think of something or something like that. I don't turn to anybody when I'm unhappy. All I do is go into my bedroom and sit there on my bed. I usually go down and play with my cats. Usually my jubbles. My dog, I guess. My puppets. To my friends. The mirror. Five, four, three, two, one, zero. It goes straight really fast and it comes down by a parachute.
I like rockets because when you start out the easy ones and you climb up the high ones, it's really fun doing it. We go about 250 miles an hour, sometimes 300, and the highest are about 2,000, 3,000 feet, the lowest are about sometimes 10 feet. The first time I launched was with my Alpha, and that was my first rocket that I built, and I launched it alone with my father, and I didn't know what to expect or anything, and it went up so fast, I didn't know where it went. I just pressed a button and boom, I didn't know where it went. I asked, where did it go? He said, it's up in this garden. I looked up, I couldn't see a thing for about a minute. Then I saw that parachute pop out and I saw it float down. And we couldn't find it, and we finally found it by the side of the road. I like to make rockets because you spend all the time making it
and it really goes up good and you're really proud with it. And each one I build, I think, is better than the one before, which I used to think was best. Like, I sometimes change the designs just a little bit so it might look a little better, or a little more the way I want it. There are a few safety regulations, and one of them is you have to stand about five feet back from the launch pad, and you have to have an adult over 21 who has a license from the fire chief of the town with you to buy the engines for one for another to launch. And you have to fire them off with the electrical system. You can't fire them with a match because it would just burn your hand off. So you have to fire them with the electrical system of hooking the two clips to the battery and hooking the microclips to the wires and heating it up and shooting it off.
And this is my latest one, which I just finished. Five, four, three, two, one. Three, two, one. Fanny Dooley loves her feet, but she hates her toes. it's from uh peter bernard of laguna beach california okay it says dear people of zoom this is a quote by the way dear people of zoom i think your show could stand some improvements my suggestion is more continuity and less giving the address merry max so-called and not interesting to viewers my age. Play of the Week needs something, possibly music. The narrator is It's not bunny nor cute.

Fanny Dooley loves dresses, but she hates clothes. My name is Debbie Koska, and I've been taking ballet for 10 years.
I do want to be a professional dancer for all the rest of my life. Nothing else matters to me. I don't want to do anything else. I practice every day for about two hours. Well, it gives me this feeling of joy that when I dance, I feel like it's so exciting and it means so much. And like dancing, you just don't have one certain ballet that you do all the time. It's such a good experience because you do so many different things. And even if you do do the same ballet, there's so many different parts that you can take. The part that I have in the Nutcracker is the Soulja Doll, which is really my first solo. Miss Williams, the director of the Boston Ballet, made up my dance.
Well, as a soldier doll, I'm supposed to be very stiff and soldier-like, and with my arms very stiff like this. It's hard to do the soldier doll because usually ballet is such a flowing thing with your arms and moving in any way, you know, that you feel like it, but the soldier doll, it's very stiff, and your feet and legs have to be in a certain position, and it's very hard to, you know, get used to. relax again flop that's a girl all right i think maybe what we were doing don't do this all right let me see if you held your finger okay all right now you have to forget your ballet dancer for a minute because this is a character dance and not walk turned out all right you must you must keep your feet, toes together. Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, toes together. That's better. It has to be really careful. Start with your arms like this, all right? And then as you go, reach out and out and out. Reach, reach, reach. Try to, that's better. The dance in Nutcracker or any other ballet makes you feel
so good because when you go out, it's like something that's so exciting or it's something it maybe like a bride when she goes down the aisle to get married that's how it feels it just feels like you're walking out and all these people are watching you but when you get on stage you really don't mind if people watch you or not you just want to do good and you're just It's gonna make up your mind to do good. Fanny Dooley loves the freezer, but hates the refrigerator.
Hopscotch. Hopscotch is played in the following manner. Each player in his turn progresses as far as possible along the hopscotch squares, starting with onesies. The first player to get home is the winner of the game. Recently, the Zoomers had a hopscotch game. We joined that game already in progress. The champion is now throwing for fivesies. Oh, I hate you. He's good at this. He's good at pitching. Yeah, besides that. Woohoo! Watch out. Watch out. I mean, oh dear. That's good, though. You still got big feet. You gotta climb up. Hey, Joe, do you step on the floor?
Joe, do you step on the floor? Yeah. Joe's out. I step right there. Oh, yeah, he's on five. Are you on five? He's on six. He's on six. He's on five. Yeah, he's on six. No, I took, I took, I took the... Jace on a five. Oh, yeah. Yes. Panic. Oh, I hate you, Joe. Let's say it can't bounce off all the numbers. uh-huh you can't say yes you said no he said from from um to the end of this thing because it wasn't fair that we said it oh he can say butterfingers you didn't have to anyway all right now here we go come on even i couldn't Butterscotch!

Oh, it is. Oh, pull. Yay! Oh! Fannie Dooley hates jam, but she loves jelly. When you have figured out the solution, make up a Fannie Dooley of your own and send it to Zoom, Box 350, Boston, Mass., 02134.

Series Description
"ZOOM is a children's show comprised of weekly half-hour episodes which showed what youngsters do and think. Seven ZOOMers hosted each episdoe, and the cast changed over run of series. ZOOM premiered locally as ""Summer-Do"" in 1970, and premiered nationally in January 1972. ZOOMers played games, told jokes, riddles (called Fannee Doolees) and stories and did crafts projects...and invited ideas from their audience. The result was an avalanche of ZOOMmail - in the first season, over 200,000 letters. Additionally, the Ubbi Dubbi language was invented by ZOOM."
