The Incredible, Indelible, Magical, Physical Mystery Trip

I'm dying to find a copy of this on VHS, DVD, YouTube or anything. It's one of the first After School Specials and it also correlated with the "Time for Timer" public service announcements regarding health for kids. Timer was the name of an animated character who narrated the PSAs and the After School Special called The Incredible, Indelible, Magical, Physical Mystery Trip, which was about two little kids that are minaturized and travel through their Uncle's body, to understand more about his health.

Here's the IMDB entry for the After School Special.

There is also a Wiki entry for the PSAs.

YouTube has several of the PSAs online.

Does anyone else remember this particular After School Special? Ever see a copy of it anywhere?

Oh, yeah; I remember this well! This was one of the earliest specials and it made a definite impression. I especially remember a sequence involving a cut that gets infected. Everytime I saw the "Time for Timer" sequences, in later years, I recalled these images.

Unfortunately, I have no recordings of it. I never saw it again after initial broadcasts, and it was long before vhs was standard. I'm sure t'll turn up at some point, like everything else. Even "Mission Magic" is on dvd, and that was fairly obscure, even for Fimation.

I've still got it on VHS and loved watching this as a child. Uncle Carl (and his cartoon insides) rules. I need to get this off my parents to show it to my own kids.
