What happens
The Metric Marvels is a 1978–1979 series of seven animated educational shorts featuring songs about meters, liters, Celsius, and grams, designed to teach American children how to use the metric system. They were produced by Newall & Yohe, the same advertising agency which produced ABC's Schoolhouse Rock! series, and first aired on the NBC television network in September 1978. The spots were shown three times each Saturday during the children's programming block for the 1978–79 season. Voices for the Metric Marvels shorts include Lynn Ahrens, Bob Dorough, Bob Kaliban, and Paul Winchell. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
