Time for Timer is a series of seven short public service announcements broadcast on Saturday mornings on the ABC television network starting in 1975. The animated spots feature Timer, a tiny cartoon character who is an anthropomorphic circadian rhythm, the self-proclaimed "keeper of body time."

"I Hanker Fer a Hunk O Cheese": Timer, recast as a cowboy with a thick Western accent, suggests "wagon wheels", sandwiches made with cheese slices and crackers, as an easy and nutritious snack. When Timer prepares one on a kitchen counter, he rolls it down the counter on its edge and exclaims, "Look! A wagon wheel!"

"Take Care of Yourself": Timer shows how to brush teeth to protect them from cavities. "You Are What You Eat": Roving reporter Timer is at the digestive system to provide a simplified explanation of nutrients and how the body uses them.

"Have A Carrot": Timer, channeling W. C. Fields, assembles some nutritious in-between meal snacks like carrot sticks for a boy. At the end of the short, Timer literally changes the boy into a banana as a gag.

"Eat Some Kind of Breakfast": Timer shows that if people don't have time for breakfast, their stomach will be empty and angry; leftovers and other premade foods for breakfast is better than none at all.

"Sunshine on a Stick": Timer suggests making ice pops with fruit juice, an ice tray, and toothpicks.

"Don't Knock It Till You Try": Timer suggests trying new foods by eating a smorgasbord of smidgens of different foods.
