I had to look up "Muffin the Mule", as I never heard of it before. Damn, what a stupid reason for it to be banned!... and I thought that as only a problem in the U.S.!
With me, it wasn't that I wasn't into kid's stuff, since I was, but to me the weather wasn't ever just an adult thing. My favorite weatherman was Tex Antoine, a guy who never wore a suit and tie on the air (must have been why I liked him!), as he always had on a artist's smock instead, and back when I was a kid, he had a carton sidekick named "Uncle Weatherbee", and kids loved his weather reports, since he would draw carton characters out of the stuff he was reporting on on his map (like he would turn a cold front into giant dinosaur by the time he was done drawing it, etc). You had to remember that back before the late '60s, there was little for a TV weatherman to work with, heck, there were no satellite weather photos yet, since there weren't any satellite weather satellites up in space yet. I can recall the day they had their first ever weather satellite to show one night, and he talked about this being a new thing and 2 new photos a day would come from this satellite up in space. Yeah, a big deal for 2 photos a day, with just one single photo that would do for the entire U.S., too, unlike and nothing like what they got today. But Tex ended up getting fired after being on the air in NYC for 30 years, after commenting directly after a story about a child being raped, he came on and repeated the words of Confucius: 'If rape is inevitable, lie back and enjoy it'". He later claimed he didn't hear the part of the story that it was about a child, but still, a stupid thing to say, regardless. But in his prime in the early '60s, he made many kids become interested in the weather, although I'm pretty sure I was into it before I ever saw his forecasts.
