Time For 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 (often ranging on microscopic) cartoon character who represented the sense of “time” in the human body. Timer was in charge of when a person felt it was time to eat, time to sleep, etc. He carried a large pocket watch inside of him, which would often set off an alarm whenever something was about to happen.

Married…With Children
Married… with Children is an American sitcom that aired for eleven seasons that featured a dysfunctional family living in Chicago. The show, notable for being the first prime time television series to air on Fox, ran from April 5, 1987, to June 9, 1997. The show was known for handling non-standard topics for the time period, which garnered the then-fledgling Fox network a standing among the Big Three television networks (ABC, CBS and NBC). The series’ 11-season, 262-episode run makes it the longest-lasting live-action sitcom on the Fox network. The show’s famous theme song is “Love and Marriage” by Frank Sinatra from the 1955 television production Our Town. Click here to watch the intro »
