Season 7 (2005)

*ZOOM'*s seventh and final season premiered on April 4th, 2005.

## Overview

This season mostly has segments that take place outside the studio - segments like ZOOMChat and ZMail now take place in a colorful room with beanbags, ZOOM In On, previously called ZOOM Out, is used more often, and there are two outdoor episodes - the season premiere, which takes place on the Black Dog Tall Ship Alabama, and How We Became ZOOMers, which mostly takes place at the ZOOMers' training camp. The *Laugh In*-esque joke wall, introduced in last season in order to revive ratings, is carried over.

This season also introduces a new pop-style intro quite similar to the 70s one that has the ZOOMers dancing in front of a brick wall. The Address Song from the first two seasons also returns.
