How old are the kids?
The kids look to be about 14 or older. I looked at the profiles , some have little or no acting expirience . I think it's awsome when kids get their big break on PBS like with Zoom . it's a good start and a good way to stay out of the tabloid crap . I have never heard a single bad thing anywhere in major news about anyone on PBS . there are websites making fun of zoom in kind of harsh way but not that bad. But my point is it's more low key.
I stumbled upon this show one day when finding Authur . It only airs on friday on my pbs station . I didn't really look into it .
I later found out that the orignal is how Morgan Freeman and Bill Cosby got their big break.
I saw previews on You Tube of both. Sounds really neat. Almost like Between the Lions but with style.
I am 23 and I strongly believe that Music and comedy should be incorperated. That's how I learned a lot of the important stuff . I have a learning disability that caused a big delay in reading and math and it clicked when it was put to music. I remember jumping on the bed to a song with the short i sound . Because I was happy it clicked.
