ivarstrelow In my opinion of this show, I have to say that it's a great classic that I grew up with, it's a part of my childhood. With the show itself, I think the original one from 1984-2003 is the best, while the 2004 onward theme is total bulls##t. If I would recommend this to anyone I would say that seasons 1-7 are the best, seasons 8-12 have missing facts and not that great, but seasons 13 and onward is total bulls##t. But the show itself is about a blue little tank engine named Thomas and his life on the fictional island of Sodor between the UK and Isle Of Man. He has many friends there like, Edward,Henry,Gordon, James, Percy, Toby, Duck, Donald and Douglas, Bertie, sir Topham hat, and many more.
m-ozfirat This television series is based upon the Railway Series children's books by Wilbert Awdry who in the 1950s and 60s wrote a series of charming, captivating and well illustrated books that are good works of art in their own right of 26 volumes. The series captures for us in the present the significance and romance of the railway during the 20th Century and especially the era in which Awdry wrote the books and can be considered great children's literature. The stories were well narrated by Ringo Starr and made in the right period of the 1980s not long after the books and the era of its effect. The series during the first two seasons recreates the stories of the books and the characters and does this well being a electronic variation of the books and is entertainment. However after the second series when in my view the remaining stories should of been done and completed during making it a classic television series. The problem with the series now is it turned like all children's programs of the 1980s in to a money making spree exhausting and devaluing the series that has lasted to the present and become a merchandise phenomena and spree with new endless books all of which spoils and exhausts the original which is why i have given it an average rating along with the bad title of "Thomas" and not The Railway Series. As a child i enjoyed the first two series along with the books which is based upon but now it has been stripped of its cultural value and demure. The original series by Ringo Starr and the books belongs in the 20 century and should be left intact in the present as it emphasis in literature the later stage of the railway historically making it a classic as in the early series on television and will encourage children to read the books and the importance of the steam and diesel railway as a historical heritage.
mikedealy I'm currently 14 years old, and I still love this show, and I don't care what anyone else thinks. I've been a fan of "Thomas the Tank Engine" ever since I was born. In fact, I grew up with this show. It's about a blue tank engine named Thomas who lives on the Island of Sodor with all of his friends. He goes out on adventures whether pulling passengers or shunting freight cars in the quarry. I own a lot of videos and DVDs of this show, but the first Thomas tape I've ever watched in my life could be possibly "Thomas Gets Tricked".My favorite character from this show would be Percy the small green engine. Some evidence from that is green is my favorite color and I like the number 6. My other favorite characters include James, Edward, Toby, and Thomas himself. Overall, "Thomas the Tank Engine" is a timeless classic that can be enjoyed by any person of any age. This is the best show ever.Final Score: 100/100 (Awesome)
Catherine_Grace_Zeh Wow! This is a really cute, fun, and entertaining show. I said that because I watch this on Nickelodeon and the Noggin network with my 2½-year-old nephew from time to time. It's hard to say which show on Nickelodeon and the Noggin network is the best. If I had to pick, this would definitely be one of the cutest. Still it's really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational. Also, it's hard to say which episode is my favorite. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that the people at Nickelodeon and the Noggin network really know how to reach a toddler's developing mind. Now, in conclusion, if you have children, nieces, or nephews, I strongly recommend this really cute, fun, and entertaining. I guarantee you that they will enjoy it.
