Kratt Brothers to Reboot “Zoboomafoo” Using Original Actors
PBS has announced the return of “Zoboomafoo” with new episodes and an updated content style to appeal to the ‘online’ generation of kids. Paula A. Kerger, the CEO of PBS, released a press statement on Tuesday: “Millennial parents! We’ve brought back a classic show from your childhood and revamped it for your children to enjoy! To show our dedication to the ‘Zoboomafoo’ fanbase, we’re rehiring all of the original actors.”
Martin Kratt, co-host of ‘Zoboomafoo,’ said, “My brother and I are glad to be back on children’s entertainment in the new digital age. We don’t move like we used to, and everything aches, so we’re probably gonna not gonna do the falling into the swimming pool gags or any of the extreme sports that we did 20 years ago. We’ll mostly be focusing on the subtle beauty of calmly watching animals from our cushioned seats, so we don’t upset our backs getting up and down and all that.” Jovian, the lemur who played Zaboo, will also make a return. The lemur that passed away in 2014, will apparently be exhumed from his burial place and placed upon a motorized zipline track, to simulate the jumping of a live lemur.
Andrew Sitko was recently arrested by the comedy police and charged for Possession of Killer Jokes. This is their second offense following a Grand Larceny charge from January 27th, 2003.
