The Bod Squad

The Bod Squad is a series of short public service announcements broadcast on Saturday mornings on the ABC television network, from 1974 through 1988.

These thirty-second and one-minute segments promoted healthy nutrition and personal hygiene through humorous animation and catchy music with clever lyrics.

[2] The segments generally appeared at half-hour intervals, interspersed with regular commercials, between Saturday morning cartoon programs.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s ABC broadcast several other series of educational public service cartoon spots as well, including Time for Timer and, perhaps the most famous of all, Schoolhouse Rock.

Three more Bod Squad shorts were produced in 1977: Additional ABC nutritional spots, by the production team of Schoolhouse Rock
