ZOOM, a TV show for kids, by kids on PBS TV. ZOOM TV cast 70's with Bernadette, Jay, Luiz, Leon, Maura, David, Ann

Welcome to my ZOOM page, created especially for you who wish to relive your childhood memories including watching the popular PBS Emmy-award winning TV show which asked you to share your ideas & "send it to ZOOM, BOX 3-5-0, Boston, Mass. 0-2-1-3-4."

I'm Bernadette! the one who did the "arm thing" at the beginning of each show. Now that I'm in my 40's and a mother of two girls
(and an energy healer & musician - listen to my CD ) , I am a bit sentimental about my childhood and the fun times. It seemed like a simpler world back then. I have heard from many of you who still have fond memories of the show. Thanks for writing! I invite you to see some of the ZOOM photos I've saved, and visit the photo gallery of me in my present life, read about my healing arts practice, and learn more about my music and how to purchase my CD of healing music that healers, therapists and yoga instructors agree is healing and soothing for their clients (see Testimonials). Listen to my CD.

Below are just a few of the letters/emails I still receive from ZOOM fans. Thanks for visiting and writing! - Bernadette

"I just thought about you and how I remembered you on ZOOM. You were the star to me! I still remember you clearly. I'm glad that you're pursuing music.....I'm glad that I can even send you a message. This is cool!:)" P.M, Chicago

"I just found your page and it takes me back. As a child of the 70's, I certainly remember you on the show....When I heard the program was coming back on the air, I wrote WGBH and strongly suggested they retain the striped "rugby shirts" in the new program, but they never replied. I remember begging my mother for a shirt like that in '74 or '75 (one of the few items of clothing I ever wanted) when we saw one in the store, and I considered it my 'ZOOM shirt". Thanks for your page, it was fun to see the "real" ZOOM logo again. I'm now off to search for a copy of the old theme music" C.S., Utah

"Wow, I have at long last found the elusive Bernadette Yao.....I can hardly believe it! I have fond memories of myself and the other neighborhood kids running home on Sundays at 6pm to watch "Zoom", to be enchanted by the Chinese girl with the magic arms and the sweet twinkle in her eye! I am a Chinese girl myself born and raised in Honolulu. Isn't the Internet the most valuable and wonderful way to connect us to those from our past who have been so dear to our childhood and memories!.... I would love to hear from you and will post again. I feel as though I have found a long lost friend..." Melissa K.


"Hey Bernadette, I just saw you on the VH1 thing for 1973 and I definately know how to do the arm thang you did (who doesnt). It's funny all the members of my band were doing it in rehearsal the other night for fun...You and all the other zoomers are definately a part of every kid's history. Not a bad legacy at all.." Paul S.

"This is a little embarassing to admit, but when I was a 7 year old boy I had a huge crush on you. I thought you were the most beautiful girl in the world." - Steven A.
