Doppler Max

The local NBC affiliate in Madison has a new doppler weather radar. In the highly competitive arena of local TV weather, it has been dubbed Doppler Max. To those of a certain generation, and a certain area of SW Wisconsin and NE Iowa, the name cannot be mentioned out loud without conjuring memories of a great local television personality. Dr. Max and his clown companion Mombo entertained the after-school audience for much of the sixties on WMT TV, channel 2 out of Cedar Rapids.

Sure enough, more information about this classic television series is available online, at least one weblog has a mention (and that's where this photo is posted).
