Time For Timer

Time For Timer PSAs. In the 70’s along with junk food commercials on TV there were also health food PSAs. Cheaper foods with low quality were passed off to children who were willing to eat them.

The Think Pink Panther Show

The Think Pink Panther Show was another way they mixed the older cartoons around to make them seem like a new show. I was looking for the “Think Pink Panther Show” song and I could not find it Youtube. I thought I remembered the words, but I really don’t very well. Someone else posted other words online, but I don’t remember them that way.
