History Series / Zoom

* BottleEpisode: The season one episode "The Making of Zoom" and the season 7 episode "How We Became Zoomers" focus entirely on the cast's experience on being members of the show. The latter averts this slightly as it focuses on their expierience at a camp they attended prior to the filming of the season.

* KissingDiscretionShot: Done in one episode of reenacting a fairy tale, likely because the actors were still preteens. The actual kiss is covered up by the knight's shield.

-->'''Kenny:''' I wonder who it could be!

* Main/DawsonCasting: According to the cast members themselves, Zoomers are cast between the ages of 9 and 13 years old. The second season cast Kenny, who was 14 years old at the time. However, he could easily could pass for 10 due to his short stature, as well as the fact that he hadn't reached puberty yet. He returned for the following season, and despite hitting puberty, still looked young enough to be on the show.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Half of season 2 was released onto Youtube, but the rest of the episodes have yet to get official release.
** As of Summer 2015, ''all'' the episodes except the majority of season one have been uploaded onto Youtube by a dedicated fan who went to the lengths of recording every episode ''twice'' while the show was on the air, but due to season one being [[ScrewedByTheNetwork quickly removed by the network]], never got the chance to record the remaining season one episodes. If you have any of those episodes, you should probably hang onto them.

* LimitedWardrobe: The original cast wore uniforms resembling striped rugby shirts. Everyone in the revival gets their own outfit, which they wear throughout the season (except during some segments where they would instead wear a T-shirt with the ZOOM logo on it, or parts requiring them to wear a different outfit, such as the Ubbi Dubbi Man segments).

* Lampshade Hanging: In the season five finale's ZOOM Playhouse they have a skit about the ZOOMers reuniting for their 60th reunion. Caroline organized the event and has a lot of ZOOM activities for them all to reminisce over. Aline is surprised by how much Caroline remembered. Caroline responds that she is still on ZOOM, lampshading the fact that she was the longest running cast member of ZOOM with four seasons. This also happened to be her final episode.
