Welcome everyone,
It's the weather show!
Bring your bathing suits,
Don't forget your boots and coats.

Come see a new show daily in the atmosphere!

From what I remember, this one didn't get on TV due to the fact a certain circus company had a problem with the phrase; "The Greatest Show On Earth", which they had trademarked.
