A Saturday morning educational show - Time for Timer.*
You may remember Timer from ABC’s Health and Nutrition Commercials. He hankered for a hunk of cheese, he made orange juice ice-cube popsicles, he suggested healthy snacks of carrot sticks. What a pal!

His name was Timer. "Time for Timer" was the collective title for a short series of public service announcements broadcast on Saturday mornings on the ABC television network starting in the early 1970s. The animated spots featured Timer, a tiny yellow, blob-shaped cartoon character usually wearing a bow tie and top hat, who promoted healthy eating and personal hygiene using clever songs and animation. Like ABC's The Bod Squad series, the segments never carried official titles, but are referred to by memorable catch phrases in the songs' lyrics. Perhaps most memorable was "I Hanker for a Hunk of Cheese" in which Timer, strangely recast as a cowboy with a thick Western accent, suggests "little cheese sandwiches" made with cheese slices and crackers as an easy and nutritious snack.
Hope this helps!
PS I know when I have one of those 'just can't remember' moments, I will obsess until I recall just what I was trying to reminisce about.

Timer. He was from the Afterschool Specials, "The Incredible, Indelible, Magical, Physical Mystery Trip" and "The Magical Mystery Trip Through Little Red's Head", and was later featured in a series of ABC Health and Nutrition
commercial s that came on during Saturday morning cartoons in the late '70s.
