A great time capsule.. and, yes, even until the late 70's weather guys were not the overdegreed, AMS approvedm meterological geeks who spend 10 minutes telling you about the jet stream when you just want to know whether you need a sweater or an umbrella on your way out the door to work tomorrow. Considering some of the overhyped stuff they throw at us during sweeps months (fear for you life about something you never would think about outside of those months) a puppet is not so bad.
Most stations, and all three networks here in the States, were 'full color' beginning in 1966 and '67. Which is when many people here started buying color sets, they were becoming affordable, and much more reliable.
