Talk:Zoom (1999 Series)/@comment-4741712-20160110222251

I remember talking to the season 7 Zoomer Emily on YouTube. Apparantly, there were some segments that were filmed for season 7 but were never aired in an episode, even though those instructions are available on the Zoom website. For instance, the ZoomPlayhouse "How Ubbi Dubbi Was Started", has the entire skit written out in script form on the website, but it was never aired. Emily said there was another play she particularly enjoyed acting in, but it wasn't aired, either. My best guess is that the boat episode and the "How we became Zoomers" episode was added to the season at the last minute, and although 2 episodes had segments filmed in its entirety, they were shelved to make room for those two. But I would consider these episodes or segments "lost" due to them never being aired.

Side note: I do, in fact, have both season 1 specials on VHS tape (Party with Zoom and the Making of Zoom), and while I don't have any entire episodes from Season 1, I do have many other ones. These would be substantially different from season 4 onwards from Zoomfan1's versions. Some of that YouTuber's uploads are of "branded" episodes. Starting in 2002 as an experiment, WGBH allowed member stations, if they chose to participate, have locally branded segments, most notably Zoom Into Action segments (among other ones) and the "We're zoomin' on [insert Station ID here]" part of the intro. However, depending on what I have (I'll have to look), I may have the unbranded versions of these episodes. While I would not be comfortable uploading these episodes onto my own YouTube channel, I wouldn't mind sending a copy to another YouTuber to upload.
