I watched this regularly also, but I think I remember I mainly sat through it for the show our local programmer aired afterward. Still, I can’t remember what that next show was…

The Saint? That Girl? The Jackson Five? I may never remember.

Until just now I had never seen video footage of this show. I did, however, have an LP of music and scenes from it, which I listened to several times as a child and I could NOT tell what the hell was going on.

I was never able to watch New Zoo Revue for more than about five seconds. I had serious aversion to the costumes and songs which apparently kids were supposed to like.

I always hated that show… But I had to sit thru it until Speed Racer came on.
