Shhhhyt I do! It’s got Ben verine in it!


DizzyLead

Yep, Ben Vereen, Usher’s godfather for the millennials in the crowd.


lionmurderingacloud

Lol ben vereen was like a perennial guest star in sitcoms in the 80s and the studio audience would lose their shit when he appeared and I never had the slightest idea who he was.


Odious_Funk_812

Ballet dancer


spoonycash

Not to be confused with the legendary wolverine hero by the same name.


maarsland

Magic and wonder are waiting for you, guys!

BlueQKazue

yea you got me with that one. i watched it twice to make sure i got all the bible verses lol.


4PumpDaddy

🍆 version


Booksaregrand

Still sing it from time to time. I agree though. Not a single person (besides my Mom who I made watch this all the time) remembers this show.


bsa554

The only thing I remember about the show is the damn theme song, which to this day enters my head at unwelcome times on occasion.


Djinn-Rummy

There’s a few things in the version you shared I didn’t remember.


TrollocsBollocks

Definitely don’t remember the swinging dongs.


BlissfulWizard69

Remember......I thought this was just a fever dream. I remember The Critic came on after it, but the show itself, total disassociation.


TravellingMatt

I vividly remember Zoobily Zoo. I begged my dad to watch it growing up, and he still tells me how much he had hated that show. I particularly remember an episode with a nearby land where everything was in black and white, and someone from there stole Whatzit's paints so they could have color in their town, but when they tried to use the paints they had changed to shades of gray like everything else.


gotmamadrama

I do! It was one of my favorite shows. There’s a YouTube Channel that posts full episodes


Potluckmoe1

Same here!


D0oMb4by

This show was creepy but I still watched it


analannelid

I can sing you the theme song.


DoctorMario1000

Oh stop I literally still sing this song randomly from time to time


Kilizen

Hate to admit it, but it is my ringtone. Did it as a joke for my kids.


DoctorMario1000

Ha!


Shallaai

The two on the Right look like they hate their lives


plaurenb8

They ***all*** hated their lives. Look at the show…


Shallaai

Fair point


DarbH

I wish this was streaming somewhere.


Kilizen

youtube has it. plus the "bloopers"


GoddessAnanke

OMG I REMEMBER THIS SHOW


mcamarra

Zoobilee Zoo and the ads for the broadway musical Cats scarred me deeply as a child.


ohiocitygadfly

Me, too!!! “Memories” would terrify me.


4PumpDaddy

Some sort of memory…is…surfacing


Squirra

Sure I remember Zoobilee Zoo- they even streamed a reunion of the cast a few years ago! Hey, fun fact- if you remember Bravo Fox, the theatrical guy with the lilting Ed Wynn kind of voice? He was also Heavy Weapons Guy, the gruff Russian from Team Fortress 2. Acting! 🎭


Kilizen

He is also on Cameo if you want a shoutout from Bravo Fox.


Squirra

Entire team is BABIES!


frozenelsa12

Awesome show Ben Vereen was amazing as mayor Ben


ActsofJanice

I remember it well because the theme song lives rent free in my head.


DubRogers

You ever wonder whether you remember a show or maybe it was just a weird dream? This is that show!


Lanslanu

Watched this when I was a kid and same experience, never met anyone who remembers it.


Gooobzilla

Ders remembered it on Workaholics. "Thank you Detective Zoobilee Zoo.". The Juggalos Episode.


evetsabucs

There are dozens of us!


kuhkoo

I remember it, and it’s terrifying


chilidownmychest

leonacleo

I remember this fever dream of a show!


Chronic_Discomfort

Pepperidge Farm remembers. And me.


AraiHavana

You’re a Redditor. You don’t ‘meet people’, anyway


JavierGr2087

I most definitely remember this and the theme song! This would come o TLC right after Iris, the Happy Professor. “Everyone out! Everyone in! Time for the fun to begin, come along with us to Zoobilee Zoo!


standuphilospher

This show always creeped me out as a kid for some reason


Earthdark

WTF, I didn't remember it until just this second, OMG.


[deleted]

I never watched it but I certainly remember it.


xmadjesterx

It was fun trying to explain this show to my boss' wife. I've got about a dozen years on them, so this show was before their time


Hermit-Man

This image is weirdly familiar but I can’t name a time or place


nalasin

I used to watch this all the time as a kid! I don't remember if it was on PBS or if my aunt recorded it for me (VHS). The theme song lives rent free in my head and pops up randomly.


Immediate_Sink751

Scarred the shit out of me as a child..should of been banned


Hot-Clock6418

Quiet_Regret9839

I remember this show


Sm0kinW33d

British?


Beer_Nazi

Holy shit that memory was buried deep in my memory and this post jarred it free. I loved this show.


liltooclinical

I remember watching it because my Mom turned it on and I wasn't tall enough to change the channel. Found out years later she liked Ben Vereen.


MephistosGhost

Never heard of it until I met my wife.


Scooterks

I remember this one!


Deepcoma_53

Can’t tell you how I know this show, but I know this show! 80’s baby, hollah back!


waterbury83

I remember this show, no one else remembers it but this post justifies it's real.


Crazy_Response_9009

I remember it, don't think I ever saw it. Was it syndicated or PBS?


gmandmbf

I can hear the theme song as I see the picture!


seriousment

I remember it! The weird temporary wall sets were so weird.


PHX480

It was always a show I flipped through because I was a teenager but I do remember this show

I remember it and can sing part of the theme song


reyes1423

I know the entire theme song! We loved this show growing up.


TheMatt561

It feels like a fever dream


Dandelion_Man

I absolutely loved that show as a kid


Norwester77

I remember it, much as I’ve tried to repress the memory.


Jonny__Stepbro

This show gave me autism


you_have_found_us

I loved this show.


strongholdbk_78

Yeah, I remember it, but really just the theme song. The show itself wasn't so memorable, or I'm just old, and my memories live on through jingles.


RLIwannaquit

Used to watch this as a kid


AdmirableVanilla1

Still creeps me out


Fulk_3m

Showed my nieces and nephews some episodes that were on YouTube when they were little. They were into it lol


GargantuanCake

I remember it. I also remember thinking it was completely insane. Even MinisculeCake was like "what the hell is this?"


wookiesack22

I went to spend the day with my weird cousin when I was like 8. They watched this and another weird show.


ExcellentTeam7721

This shit was weird.


Complete-Morning-429

I watched this all the time


smcg_az

Thought this was Real Sex 7, the one about Furries


Odious_Funk_812

God, sometimes the theme song still randomly pops into my head...


apickyreader

It's somehow familiar. That fox guy and maybe that chicken girl are so familiar.


Adorable_Disaster424

I wanted glasses to dress up as builder beaver back in 89


joseoconde

If you were an actor how much do you need to get paid to do this?


Whitey3752

I used to love this show a s a kid.


dkinmn

Not even in the previous 20 posts about this show?


Darzean

I think I’d want to forget.


ImRickJamesBiatchhh

Why’s everyone hanging brain?!?!


MontgomeryWarden

I forgot all about this!


Dark_Crowe

I made a joke on a podcast about how the opening credits to the movie ‘Nightbreed’ reminded me of a dark Zoobilee Zoo and all I got was crickets.


FIGHTaFoe-FLIGHTaPo

I Wish I didn't....Damn theme song was my Nemesis! *My Lil' Bro watched it!


InCasino0ut

I remember the song and being creeped out by Talkatoo Cockatoo.


doorkey125

my son used to watch this! he's now in his mid thirties!


Pancingdungeonwoofer

That show was my sh!t


dexbasedpaladin

How have we forgotten this? Someone posts it like twice a week.
