OK, I made a topic about this months ago and it didn't seem to get noticed at all, so I'm creating a new one.
The 1999 revival of ZOOM has most of it's episodes on Youtube; however, 30 episodes of season 1 are still at large, simply because they did not reair once ZOOMFan1 started recording in mid-2002.
In addition to this, some episodes of the first two seasons were shown differently when they were originally aired than what we see on Youtube. In 2002, when the series was remastered to include the new fundings, scenes in 4 episodes of season two and at least 5 episodes of season one were edited, rearranged.
In some cases scenes were removed entirely as well, it seems I remember a skit in one episode where Kenny was supposedly taking a bath (while wearing a swimsuit) which is nowhere to be found in ZOOMFan1's seemingly complete season two catalog, likely because the network didn't find it appropriate.
Anyways, I hope this stuff will appear on Youtube at some point, so I just thought I'd try getting the message out there again.

What is ZOOM? I somehow doubt that most of the people here have heard of it. I think if your going to start a search its best to at least define the lost item.
With that said, it looks like the best way of finding the episodes would be through searching for old broadcastings recorded on VHS.

ZOOM was a PBS show in which kids did all sorts of activities. It originally ran in the 70's and was revived in 1999. It never got any DVD releases.

I myself sadly don't have any of the missing episodes on tape. I did have episode 114 from when it aired on December 29, 1999, but out of all the things I let get taped over, that was the one. What's worse is I taped over it on February 14, 2004, over since season one had been rerun at all. (As I had not watched the show regularly since mid-2000 I didn't realize this.)

It seems that the first 11 episodes are on YouTube, while 12-41 are nowhere to be found. I wonder if it's possible you could contact someone who worked on the series? It's possible they might able to give some useful information in regards to obtaining it.
That's all I have, it seems the other episodes simply don't exist on the internet.

No, it's episodes 101-104, 134, 135, and 137-140 that are on the internet. For some reason the network skipped over 29 episodes.
It's funny you say that; I actually did try contacting WGBH some months ago about releasing some unaired footage from the show, and they told me everything from ZOOM was in their "open vault" catalogue, but you have to pay to obtain the clips.
Was this ZOOM the source that spawned the 2006 film with tim ALLEN?
Probably not, because there has never been a 2006 superhero-based family film starring Tim Allen called Zoom. Hypothetically, if such a movie was made, it probably would have been based off Jason Lethcoe's book, Amazing Adventures from Zoom's Academy.

Also, early airings of episodes from the first two seasons are slightly different. As are local versions of the ZOOM Into Action segments in the last four seasons.
