What happens

Mr. Cartoon, originally titled Steamboat Bill, was a television program for children that aired for nearly 36 years on WSAZ-TV, the NBC affiliate in Huntington, West Virginia. The show was hosted by George Lewis until 1969 and by Jule Huffman until 1995. The show ended its run in March 1995; Huffman remained with WSAZ as a weatherman for another three months, ending his career in June of that year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
