OMG OMG OMG! I have been hunting for this for years! A lot of people saw those "Time for Timer" cheese ads, and I always wanted to point out just where Timer originally came from -- this special! I have not seen this since the 70s but it left a big impression -- I always felt great pity for that poor put-upon heart!

I could never recall the name of this, but I knew there was one before the trip through Little Red's Head (and the series of PSAs that followed.) Couldn't have told you anything about it, other than it was a sort of Grand Tour of the human body in cartoon, which was one of the reasons I would watch it. It sure impressed upon me the badness of smoking and the importance of eating well. In spite of that, I'm surprised how much of it is familiar, though it had obviously made an impression. Many, many thanks for finding and posting this. I can only wonder how you did it.

The "I Wonder" song is really rather good. With some more lyrics and more mature arrangement, it could be a hit. I'm staggered by how much of this I remember considering I haven't seen it in at least 40 years. This needs to be remade with better animation and information even more than "Cosmos" did.

This was one of two ABC After School " TV specials from DePatie-Freleng,the first one,"THE INCREDIBLE,INDELIBLE,MAGICAL,PHYSICAL,MYSTERY TRIP" first aired around March 1973,which introduced "Timer",eventually voiced by Lennie Weinrib,the animated character became a commercial spokesman-of a sort,for ABC Saturday mornings in the late 70s. the live action sequence opening shows the snoring uncle,played by veteran character actor and voiceover Hal Smith,better known to TV viewers as "Otis the drunk" from CBS's "THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW" (1961-68) DePatie-Freleng Enterprises supplied several Saturday morning cartoon shows from the late 1960s to the 1970s,before leaving Saturday morning TV in 1980 after their last cartoon series,"SPIDER WOMAN" for ABC in Fall 1979,produced in association with Marvel Comics. but of course,DePatieFreleng is best remembered for "THE PINK PANTHER" cartoon shorts and eventual series made in association with Mirisch and United Artists.

At least Missy and Joey avoided exiting Uncle Carl's body the way you'd figure; that would have kept them in therapy to this day. Speaking of which, I'd think it must be repressed memory why I don't remember this. But having found the following year's follow-up where Timer goes through a girl's head, it turns out these were Afterschool Specials, which I didn't follow. (The completely live-action ones sounded drearily alike: a shy kid gets moved to a new town, has trouble making friends, and falls into a bad crowd--smokers and shoplifters and vandals, oh my--until an angelic handicapped kid comes to the rescue.) If this had been a prime time special, undoubtedly it would have been a part of my curious childhood.

Still looking for this one on DVD. (Probably didn't get a disc release.) This was an ABC Weekend or Afterschool Special, back during the big TV pro-education movement with American schools: this one is about exploring human anatomy, and promoting good health & nutrition. Hokey, yes. Entertaining, yes. Informative, I hope so. This was also in the time of TV history when other inner-space works like "Fantastic Voyage" (movie & TV cartoon series) were just starting their syndication repeat runs. Probably too preachy and spooky for today's children, without responsible adults watching with them to talk more about it as they watch. (Something today's beligerent, alarmist, sue-at-the-drop-of-a-hat Karens & Kevins are just too lazy to do, which always ruins the value of vintage TV content.) Timer & other characters are voiced by Lennie Weinrib, of Hanna-Barbera & Krofft fame. (Ex. H.R. Puf'nstuf.) Hal Smith's (Uncle Carl's) resume' is just as impressive: "Andy Griffith Show, Hanna-Barbera shows, Clutch Cargo, Space Angel, Disney's Welcome to Pooh Corner, DuckTales" and LOTS, lots more!!

In this particular special, commercial voice artist Len Maxwell (who also starred in the Academy award winning “Crunch Bird” cartoon) speaks and sings for Timer and company. The following year brought a sequel, “The Magical Mystery Trip Through Little Red’s Head” (also on KZitem) and the Time For Timer PSAs, and for those programs Lennie Weinrib is established as the full time voice for Timer.

Does anyone know which special that one was called?
