There were probably several reasons-to keep the show fresh, to allow for diversity, to give lots of kids a chance to be on the show, to keep the age level stable, etc. The producers rotated the cast out every six months. When PBS was still finding itself and shows like Sesame Street, The Electric Company and The French Chef with Julia Child were just getting on their feet (while other shows like The Great American Dream Machine and Hollywood Television Theater were allowing new and veteran talents to experiment), Boston public station WGBH introduced a show for, by and starring kids. Long before “zooming” meant talking to people on computer screens like The Jetsons crossed with The Brady Bunch, “Zoom” was about interaction of a different sort.
