Time for Timer

So what did all of those late ’60s/early ’70s hippies who spent all of their time baked and/or tripping eventually do with themselves?

Well, I don’t know what else they did, but it definitely appears they produced public service announcements that ran during Saturday morning cartoons in the late ’70s.

“Look!  A wagon wheel!”

(What is Timer, anyway?)

  1. LOL! I remember when that was actually on TV. I always thought it was part of the School House Rock series for some reason though. Speaking of SHR, my favorite was “Little Tweleve Toes” which I’m not 100% certain, but I believe had something to do with counting in base 12. If so, why the heck was it on saturday morning TV?

  2. PS: If you’re curious as to what happened to the children of “all of those late ’60s/early ’70s hippies who spent all of their time baked and/or tripping eventually do with themselves”, give Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim an after midnight viewing sometime. Some of that stuff is downright twisted!

  3. Lee, I remember it too. I think you’d almost have to in order to get any serious entertainment out of it. I remember this spot and “Sunshine on a Stick”–about filling an ice tray with fruit juice, putting plastic wrap over it, and sticking toothpicks through the plastic wrap to make little popsicles.

    BamaDan: “Hey Chopper! How ’bout runnin’ a few laps with us!” “Hey later man; I’m eatin’ a celery stick. This is CALLED exercise.”

    Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to settle down with a big ol’ bowl of Nutty Gritty.

  4. That is great! I had totally forgotten about that. Thanks for the laugh in the middle of the day. It is interesting how “nutrition” changes over the years. I doubt any pediatricians would recommend stuffing “carb-loaded” crackers as an afternoon snack anymore!

  5. Glad y’all enjoyed. I did too.

    I thought of third Timer spot: “Don’t quibble, till you nibble/A dabble or a dibble/Of everything that’s on your plate and then/Go back and eat the things you like again!”
