The Weather Maker is the fourth episode of season 1 of the Super Friends series. Like most episodes from the first season, the villain of the story isn't really much of a bad guy, just a man who goes to far to warm his home country up a little bit, since his home country is in the North Pole. This episode is full of educational material, even for a season one episode. For example, Wendy Harris teaches everybody the best way to make buttermilk biscuits, Batman teaches Marvin White about hydrography, (even going as far as telling him the origin of the word) and finally we are taught that the Gulf Stream warms up Florida.

| - The Weather Maker is the fourth episode of season 1 of the Super Friends series. Like most episodes from the first season, the villain of the story isn't really much of a bad guy, just a man who goes to far to warm his home country up a little bit, since his home country is in the North Pole. This episode is full of educational material, even for a season one episode. For example, Wendy Harris teaches everybody the best way to make buttermilk biscuits, Batman teaches Marvin White about hydrography, (even going as far as telling him the origin of the word) and finally we are taught that the Gulf Stream warms up Florida. This episode features a return appearance by Colonel Wilcox, who was last seen in The Baffles Puzzle. Here we learn that he often hangs around a place called World Weather Headquarters, which is apparently some sort of meteorological monitoring facility for the government agency he works for, which is called the Secret Department of Investigation, or the SDI for short. The theme of the episode was meant to make one ask the question: "Why shouldn't we change the climate on one part of the world to fix the climate on another part of the world?" And of course this question could be asked in different ways; for example, if one city in the north dams up a river and causes a southern city to experience a drought, is that wrong? Basically the principal that the episode was trying to get across to the audience was that such selfish thinking is indeed wrong, although such things even happen in real life, and this episode was an attempt to highlight that theme. A possible source of inspiration for this episode might have been the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea episode The Blizzard Makers, which also involved the Gulf Stream getting shifted and dealt with the consequences of that, which of course was extreme cold along the Florida coast.
