A remembrance of all things interstitial (but not necessarily commercial) between my 70's Saturday morning cartoons.

Thanks for the shout out.

It sounds like you watched a lot of the CBS stuff.

I believe the educational shorts were thrown in so that the networks could meet their educational requirements. I'd have to review my TV history to be sure. That's the reason cartoons use to have those public service bits at the end.

As far as I know there were only two or three Time For Timer shorts but they were repeated so often that it seemed as if there were more. I did occasionally have crackers and cheese as a kid but we never even saw round cheese or crackers. Ours tended to be square. And today it wouldn't be considered such a healthy snack for kids.

I definitely remember Time for Timer. The one you played is a later version, I think. His voice is slightly different than the "Sunshine on a Stick" one. Used to love these. Thanks for posting about these.

Hey, did you ever watch Kidstuff?
