Okay so there was this show on nickelodeon, in the 90's, and it was filmed at the san diego zoo. For awhile, it was hosted by two kids named scott and jessica, but one of them was switched out, i think.

It was about animals and my brother and i have been looking for it all day. We're thinking it may have just been a segment of another show but we cant find anything on google. Please somebody help us out if you know this we'd be ever so grateful

[Azovie]

Thank you everybody for viewing so far... Ive such far had no luck on any of the threads Ive attempted requesting this info.... so even if you read this and arent 100% sure... any tinsy bit of help would be appreciated. Like seriously... even if you think it was from Polka dot door or something... im not even so sure it was Nickelodeon anymore

The only zoo show I remember was Zoorama, but that was in the late 70's early 80's. Are you sure it was a Nick show?

[Azovie]

Not sure it was a Nick show... And Im pretty sure it wasnt FOCUSED on the zoo... Just had the occasional segment where they had these few kids at the zoo showing stuff off in between the main programming. Im certain it was in the 90s. That much im positive of.

Thanks for the attempt

I think it was " Zoo Family " the kids names are Nick and Susie..it was filmed at the Austalian zoo. Hope this is what you are looking for.

One of the lesser remembered shows of Classic Nick is Zoo Family. It was originally produced in Australia, and aired there in 1985-1986. It appeared on the First Network for Kids in 1987. I believe it did not air long on Nick, and that may have been the only time it aired in the states. It was filmed on location in the Royal Melbourne Zoo, in Melbourne, Australia.

Thanks for helping out, NawlinsGal.

Good to see you again (with or without the 43).

[King123]

i thought you looked familiar...

[tvrocks17]

I have no clue what it is sorry.

If it wasnt just a segment i would say Wild and Crazy Kids but i dont remember if they had a scott or a jessica or a zoo segment. Sorry.

[Azovie]

nawlinsgal ! It sounds like youre totally right!!! Oh my gosh. Im just trying to verify it right now. I was hoping to find something from youtube or whatnot that would totally you know just CLICK and then I would know for sure!

Yeah I had no idea it was such a flash-in-the-pan short lived Nick show. That would explain people not remembering it! But everything you said sounds sooo true and I owe you such a debt of gratitude. Errr... now trying to find an episode or clip might be the next challenge...

I went to see if I could find at least a picture or something to see if it would help bring back a memroy for you, and this is one of the one's I found... The only video I found that fit the name was of a little person having sex with a normal sized person (sorry, but it was called Zoo family sex or something like that...)

[nawlinsgal]

Hmmmm that sounds like a really wild show...lol

Hey Jedi nice to see you again too.. ( couldnt' resist the smilie )

Your welcome Azovie I hope you find some video or something but if Yana came up with what she did doesnt' look like they have one. Maybe write to Nick and ask if they have one or can tell you how to get one.

Taking the info that Nawlinsgal provided I googled "Australian TV" and found this:

www.australiantelevision.net

If you look under "Z" there is a link to Zoo Family

I'm saying Wild and Crazy Kids, as Scott and Jessica were both co-hosts.
