Wireless Wednesday Exclusive: Catching up with 'The New Zoo Revue'

If you are old enough, chances are you grew up watching The New Zoo Revue. The show was syndicated from 1972 to 1977 and episodes ran well into the 1990's.



The show was the brainchild of "Doug" Momary who, along with his wife Emmy Jo, created an answer to Sesame Street, focusing on relationships and feelings. Doug wrote every song and story line.


Have a listen:




Recently, Doug and Emmy Jo ,who are married in real life, did a Facebook live. It was the first time in 50 years their fans saw them live with over fifty thousand fans tuning in!

They also joined Rick on a call... listen above.


They appeared at Comic Con in San Diego, and fans literally cried when they saw them. The response has been overwhelming.


Notes:


The 196-episode musical comedy-format show conveyed the concepts of cooperation and guidance for living in contemporary society. Each episode dealt with a topic such as moving away, courtesy, bragging, or patience.


The show received awards and recommendations from the National Education Association and the National School Board Association.
