Perhaps she still felt Thomas couldn't stand on its own when she put "Storytime with Thomas" on Fox Family. Or who knows? Perhaps she just wanted an outlet to showcase her cartoon elephant "Mumfy"?
lets see the Thomas pic is from the Thomas gets tricked case, Percy pic is either from Thomas Percy and the Dragon or Percy's Ghostly Trick, James pic is from James in a Mess, Gordon pic is from Trouble With Mud?, Henry pic is from Henry's Forrest, Toby pic Im not sure, and Edward pic is from Edward, Trevor, and the really Useful Party.
@Springsteenfan010 I know i was really upset when i heard he died i really wanted to meet him and give him a big hug. I love George Carlin he is my childhood hero he still is today and so is Ringo Starr.
George Carlin was a great man who played as Mr. Conductor ever since Shining Time Station aired on PBS in the winter of 1989 on January 29th. May his soul rest in peace.
Dude, would u chill out? It's better than the crappy Thomas they have now. so what if The Fatt Controllers name was change and some things were modified. Theres an old saying my friend. Don't diss it until you've tried it. I suggest u learn a lesson in that!
No, this was Britt Allcroft's answer to a "British" children's show...SHE was British...notice the "Created By Britt Allcroft" credits at the end of the open?
It's more like "This was one British womans answer to Americanize a British children's show".
Shining Time Station (the show which spawned this spin-off) lasted from 1989-1993. This particular show, I believe lasted from 1993-1996 (and, for those who DID watch, use a different ending theme).
I'm sorry! It was Storytime with Thomas that was cancelled due to The Britt Allcroft Company changing it's name to Gullane which I think later became HIT.
No! This gets in my brain after reading it from Wikipedia, that said it was cancelled due to that Britt Allcroft Productions changing its name to Gullane Entertainment, that turned into HIT Entertainment...... It was cancelled in 1994 but returned in specials in 1995.

I think Britt was kinda afraid that American audiences wouldn't accept Thomas all by himself, and thus she stuck to the "Shining Time Station" motif.
Which is kind of a shame, because MCTT was sadly rather mediocre in comparison to STS.
