If you're old enough like us, chances are you grew up watching The New Zoo Revue. The show was syndicated from 1972 to 1977, and episodes ran well into the 1990s with 3 million viewers per season in its heyday. After 50 years and 40 years out of the public eye, they are back. The show was the brainchild of Doug Momary, who, along with his wife, Emmy Jo, created the answer to Sesame Street, focusing on relationships and feelings. Doug wrote every song and story line for the 550 plus shows. We sat down with Doug and Emmy Jo to talk about the show.
