Subject: 1980's Commercial or Cartoon..HELP!!!

Written By: salliebabe on 01/06/05 at 2:03 pm

At lunch today a few of us were going back to SchoolHouse Rock, early 80's cartoons, and I have a memory in my head of a Yellow "guy, dude" "something" with a cane talking about either the nutrition pyarmid  or drinking milk something.  And I think it was only on Saturday mornings.  Hey that was 20+ years ago, I can't remember it well.  Anyway, if anyone can rememeber anything about this please help.  My co-workers think I am NUTS!  Thanks.  Salliebabe.

That guy was called Timer and He was originally in an afternoon special called "Little Red's Head"  About a brother and sister who get shrunk and trapped inside their sister's Head.  Kind of a trippy cartoon and,  I am not sure of the educational value of it.  I think it had something to do with the anatomy of the brain or something.  Timer was a sort of guide character in Red's body.
