Zoobilee Zoo

I had that same problem where no one I talked to remembers this show! I am 21 now and I was starting to think this show was a figment of my imagination. All i remember was the Van Gogh lion who painted and one line from that theme song.. "Zoobilee zoo, Zoobilee zoo, magic and wonder are waiting for you!" Ahh the 80's! It wasn't popular enough to really get any attention, and I think I only watched it because it was on amid other after school shows, but still memorable enough to make me want to look that crazy show up 15 years later. So maybe it's not the prom queen of after school specials from the 80's, but it is certainly unique and representative of the times. See you at Zoobilee Zoo!

It was an alright show. I watched a few episodes recently and saw where its appeal came from. I was told by my mother that I used to watch this show quite a bit. I was told it was my favorite kids show. alright choice for kiddies i guess.

No one can compare Zoobilee Zoo to today's shows; they took the time to make great songs and great costumes. The story behind the world they lived in was not just skin deep. I think the 80s was a time when the industry cared about children as an audience not just a dollar. My personal favorite was Whazzat Kangaroo, played by Louise Vallance, who has since voiced many many children's shows including Moira MacTaggert in X-men Evolution.

Also can you believe that some Christian fanatics actually think that this show could be evil and may have supported bestiality...they forced an edited version explaining to children all the bible references to sleeping with an animal. They are so dizzy!

I tap my foot to rock'n'roll... The Devil is in my shoe!

I'm from Australia and i only found about Zoobilee zoo from a Friend from USA and i bought about 10 tapes off E-bay and recently e-mailed Sandey Grinn (Bill Der_Beaver) and he e-mailed me back a nice letter and he sent me a poster of Zoobilee zoo and he signed it for me which was nice of him hes on of my favorites now same with Lookout Bear i didn't know HAllmark are the card makers who created the show ;) i like the theme song very catchy :) hopefully be able to get the other episode's about 30-35 needed :) . i like where bill and Van go trade places and bill tries to do painting and the other zoobles thinks Vango Painted it and when van go tried to build something they think Bill build it until the admitted they did it

I used to watch this when I went to America with my family. Being taken out of School for four Weeks was tough on a kid of 7, (although the idea of spending 4 weeks in America now is so tempting, but back then you just wanted to stay with your friends). Zoobilee Zoo gave me such a warm homely feeling, especially when my and my little sister used to curl up on the big huge sofa's at my aunt's house and eat doughnuts for breakfast and sat around in our pj's. However the reason I wanted to add a comment was because a lot of people couldn't remember the theme tune. So here you go.. It's too catchy.....
