question about pbs show zoom.?

Question

hey.
does anyone remember the show called "zoom"?

my friend and i were wondering, does anyone remember those machines they made. like, they'd make a "machine" that would put toothpaste on their toothbrush after a bunch of different steps (i.e. a marble is rolled down a ramp, hits the hammer...etc...).

if anyone remembers the name of those at all...pleeeaasee tell me.
it will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

To the guy above my answer...Morgan Freeman was on the Electric Company, not Zoom. Zoom was just kids.

Come on and zoom, zoom, zoom a zoom...

Do you remember "ubbie dubbie?"

Machines like that are similar to Goldberg Contraptions

Answer 2

I don't remember what the "machines" were called, but I certainly remember the show. I just looked at a site with a section on ZOOM and they refer to "ZOOMdos." Maybe that's what they were called?
