    I think the biggest issue with modern kids' entertainment is that it seems like it was made just to keep their attention spans with saturated colors and jokes, the classics like Curious George and Cyberchase were engaging enough to keep kids' attentions because the show didn't look down at kids as stupid, rather look directly at them as intellegent

    I'm glad I grew out of kids shows right before the first ones started going CGI. It just shows how profit driven and mass produced everything has become and as a result these shows are now indistinguishable from eachother. For real though, OG Thomas the tank engine was the greatest show ever made. Truly childhood defining.

    The fact that kids aren’t growing up with all the shows mentioned makes me really concerned for the future generation. The thing about pre school shows before is that they helped me develop a taste for what I enjoy and how I view media today, all the shows listed contributed to that, especially Backyardigans. As for the original Thomas, it’s perfection, the narrator, the music, the beautiful hand made landscapes and cinematography of it all, they truly did care about children, not like the new version.

    The reason classic Thomas was as great as it was, was because the writers understood that you weren’t just writing for children, but also adults who would watch the shows with their children. The music was good because the show creator said the music shouldn’t talk down to kids like other shows. The visuals were made more impressive than necessary because David Mitton was the director for the classic seasons. Not to mention the co-music composer was Mike O'Donnell who worked with The Beatles in Apple Corps as a bass guitarist and vocalist before he became the composer for both Thomas & Friends/Thomas the Tank Engine and TUGS. He literally worked on some of the best music ever made
    The show made me fall in love with trains. I get that I'm autistic and it's a stereotype to love trains, but trains really are a phenomenal mode of transport. Just look at the Japanese and French rail network. Rail connected the US before highways did, they are a part of American heritage and yet they aren't treated the way they should be. Towns have popped up because of trains, trains lead to a real-estate boom and plus they're eco-friendly. So those saying high-speed rail wouldn't help rural folks are wrong, because trains not only carry people, but they also bring them. If a big country like China can connect every province within the country by high-speed rail, then so can the US.

Thomas will always have a special place in my heart (the OG Thomas ofc). Thomas is a legend he knew too much, he became a meme, he even collaborated with such rappers as The Notorious B.I.G (that Biggie Smalls ft Thomas song), DMX ( Thomas gon' give it to ya), even Eminem (the real tank engine). It was time for Thomas to leave...

It was mostly those high speed modern electric trains and modern diesel powered engines. But luckily, my wish got granted on my 7th birthday where my grandparents brought me to a train museum that featured a Thomas ride and I absolutely loved it and still look back as one of my most favorite and nostalgic memories ever.

      But even so young, I noticed how surface-level the plots were, and how the story lines were watered down and sprinkled with random cheap jokes. Like yeah its good if you pretend the original didn’t exist... I couldn’t just pretend that when the original stood out so much from the other shows.

They didnt move on their own and other stuff the CGI did. Theryre massive machines that ruled the land at the time when the railroad was king. Watching it as a kid got me interested in trains and still fascinated of steam locomotives to this day.

    I used to watch Wild Kratts and Octonauts. Wild Kratts was a banger, just watching these two brothers on their awesome turtle base with suits that can turn them into any animal was so entertaining. It had the animal education and entertainment. It was so cool to see Chris and Martin turn into sharks, bears, or alligators in order to solve whatever problem arose. The villains were all funny and entertaining too. Octonauts was a show about a bunch of animals in their underwater headquarters heading out to solve versions issues involving sea life, like curing a sick whale shark or saving a triggerfish stuck in their vents. All the characters were great to watch. You got the leader, medic, pilot, engineer, retired pirate, and the brains of the group. It was nice watching the characters deal with the issues that you’d have underwater. I’d watch both of them for hours at a time. Those two shows were the best, man.

    Thomas deserves more appreciation. While the show itself has gotten worse over the years (mostly thanks to Mattel's poor management with the brand), it was genuinely a really solid series in it's heyday. The characters were fun, the stories were relaxing and had a good amount of action scenes, the sets and model work are incredible and still hold up today, the music slaps, it's one of the few kid shows that actually respects it's audience, and overall it just felt like a series that had a lot of love and passion put into it. There are some aspects to the CGI era that are pretty good too (mostly in seasons 18-21), but they don't hold a candle to what came before. And that stuff from before was pure greatness.
    Honestly it makes me sad that most people's views on the show are completely different to what the show actually is/was. Most of the time they either dismiss it as "just another baby show" or only bring up the dark aspects of it. I get what they mean by all of this, but at the same time I feel a lot of people are misinterpreting the show as some depressing series when it really isn't. Sure it can get dark at times, and while stuff like Henry getting bricked up in a tunnel and an engine getting turned into a generator are fucked up, not every aspect of the show is like that. It's just simple stories of the characters playing off of each other or pushing em to their limits. Plus Henry LITERALLY COMES OUT IN THE NEXT EPISODE!! WHY DO PEOPLE MISS THAT?
    What I'm trying to say here is that Thomas is a good show that deserves more than what many people view it as. Anyone's free to hate it of course, but you gotta admit, the world wouldn't be where it is today had it not been for this blue train.

    Thomas the tank engine was such a great show, everything from the model work, to the storytelling, to the OST was outstanding. The show had an atmosphere that was unlike any show at it's time. It managed to tell fantastic stories with great morals, while not talking down to the audience. Even George Carlin himself really liked the show for that fact. The show also incorporated alot of railway history, and all of the characters are based off real locomotives. It's such a shame as to how much Mattle has bucherd this series. The new reboot show managed to be worse than the CGI era.

    - the scary episodes were some of the best episodes ever
    - The Great Race music is pretty good but it ends there
    - waiting for a new live action movie
    - All Engines Go can burn in hell
    - we still to this day watch Thomas(even if it's bad)
    And last but certainly not least, we will show the old series to our kids and grandkids to prove that there were simplier times before the corruption of money had come from the hellspawn of Mattel.

    Thomas the Tank Engine is just the ultimate ‘feel-good’ kids show. Everything from the realism of the setting, the soundtrack being literally the banger of all time, no forced representation, the calm feeling, everything. I genuinely can’t put it into words, it’s that ethereal. The Island of Sodor genuinely feels lived-in, the locos having all distinct personalities and flaws and just straight up not just being one-note stereotypes, it all feels kinda like a well-edited nature documentary. My heart goes out to anyone involved with the show back then.

    There’s a UA-cam project called Thomas Re Orchestrated with full orchestra recreations of the full OST of Thomas and it’s honestly so beautiful it brings me tears. I desperately wish we could see another crack at portraying pure passion for trains. The show had good morals but it also was full of love towards the age of steam. I swear in all of the model seasons there’s hours worth of footage of purely the trains moving through the models with the sound of the rails as the only compliment. I wish I could live on Sodor. Everything about it captures a much more hopeful and people focused time where anything had to be done with a human touch.
