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. The shorts were written by Lynn Ahrens[1] and animated by DePatie–Freleng Enterprises.[2]
The segments generally appeared at half-hour intervals, interspersed with regular commercials, between Saturday morning cartoon programs. While many were not labeled as such, the first four segments ended with an announcement, "Another nutritional message from the ABC Television Network", and accompanying stock animation identifying the series as The ABC Bod Squad.
The same original segments produced in the 1970s repeated every Saturday morning for several years, so that many if not most American TV-watching children during that period are familiar with them. 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.
