All About You (TV series)
Short programs teaching children about their bodies.
All About You was an educational television series syndicated to numerous educational and PBS stations during the early and mid-1970s, primarily as part of weekday in-school telecasts. It was first produced at WHRO-TV in Hampton, Virginia, and later moved to WGBH-TV Boston in 1974, where it was produced in association with WGBH's in-school television initiative, the "21-Inch Classroom". The series is notable as one of a few WGBH programs not distributed by NET or PBS, and episodes from the WGBH version are available online through the Moving Image Archive of Indiana University.

Hosted by Louise McNamara, who later wrote children's books, and written by Ada Litchfield, All About You was a series of short videotaped programs. Each episode ran 15 minutes or less and aimed to teach kids ages 6 to 8 about their bodies—how they work, why they have certain parts, and where they come from. The show’s opening and closing credits showed cartoon slides of children at a circus, set to circus music.
