[9thetwins]

ah the good old days ;)

[MrMichaelDogson]

I remember watching this as a little kid. I work on a Narrow Gauge railroad that's part of the Steam Loco museum now. My fireman used to watch the show too. We even nicknamed one of the stations "Shining Time The Second"

[Kleman09]

Best show ever made! Im now working on a full sized steam engine as a fireman. Best job ever!

[JDWolfman12271]

The song sounds like it's a memorial service for the show.

[JDWolfman12271]

1. Never heard of David Mitton

2. George Carlin will never be forgotten, rest in peace.

[JamesandSpike]

@JDWolfman12271 David Mitton was the model director of the Thomas and Friends series for the first 7 seasons.

[CaliburDS]

I just had a nostalgia overload.

I'm sad that this is gone...but I'm glad I was able to experience it.

[patlk]

[Kleman09]

@BuckHunter613 most of what you saw were reruns. I grew up when it was still fresh and new epsodes made each year. Best show ever made! Im now working on a full sized steam engine as a fireman. Best job ever!

I did always want to have the whistle that GC had used in the series, it looks soooo cool! I'll never outgrow this. RIP GC. Oh and I have a TOMY railway set from 1994 and 1995.

[SuperBlur17]

This is the greatest way to show how theshow will always be.....AWESOME!

[7leprechaun7]

WOW. Seriously. I have the old metal Thomas toys, like 1994 and older. About 30 of them. This show was pure magic. We have such better tv shows these days....yeah, progressive society my a**

[DJBrokenHigh]

God I miss my childhood :(

[kaykay12226]

i never got to see shining time station im imole 8yers old

[autoharpage]

goodbye, shining time station

[spxmet]

I was just talking about this with a friend of mine earlier. We are both 23, and we both think that we grew up with the last great batch of childrens' prgramming like this, Today's Special, Mr. Dressup, and all the old-school Nick shows. How is Thomas so popular, yet the show that made him and his friends famous hasn't been seen since 1997?!

[PaulieRomanov]

Thomas, Shining Time Station, Digimon, and The Simpsons.

Those were the shows of my childhood.

[GFB102]

R.I.P George... i don't mean to be dissing this or anythin but for the season 1 opening scene i think there was a different sort, im not sure though but whtvr. anyway well done! and i miss shining time :( this is a real kids show and will always be!

[014trainman]

just a little this dude who sings the opening. sounds like bob saget?

[RetroVideoFan]

@014trainman The guy who sings this song is Kevin Roth.

[gabembta12]

TT1478 I think i know the title of the show you were talking about it was called theodore the tugboat i really miss shining time staton

[OliverAndDuckFan1]

Why did you have to do this? MA CHILDHOOD. THOMAS DA TANK AND DIS

[XMilleniumProd]

it would be a gift to see this show come back

[TT1478]

Does anyone know the other show that used to come on PBS? it was similar to this one but it had boats, ships, helicopters, bridges, and piers in it. UGH!!!! I WISH I COULD REMEMBER THE NAME OF THAT SHOW!!!! if someone knows the name or could find clips of what i was trying to describe, i would cry like a baby. lol.

[22jan33]

@TT1478 Thomas and friends or jay jay the jet plane??

[TT1478]

@22jan33 i found it about a few days ago when i was going through other videos. it's called Tugs. when i was looking for it a while back, it wasn't posted on here yet.

[ColbertForever06]

@TT1478 It was Theodore Tugboat, another great show!!!

[TT1478]

@ColbertForever06 now i know, but thanks. and that was another great show. if they would only bring those shows back on that meant something that actually taught kids how to treat people as well as learning different things that were good. don't get me wrong, they do have some (not all) nice shows out there, but the shows back then in the 90's were really educational.

[NickCIsBack]

i wish Shining Time Station will retrun. and make it season 4 and there add matt & tanya because there awesome!

[Deathsquad49]

how did you find a whole theme?

[Lavenderlash]

Oh god I'm gonna cry *sniffle* I'm 11 but I know all about this show and I love it I have two vhs tapes,Becky makes a wish and something else but they're both season 3,I love Thomas and still do,I have almost all of the Thomas vhs tapes and toys out the butt,thanks for putting this on here :)

[XMilleniumProd]

@Lavenderlash it was shows like this that made those days worth the while. im glad to see that at least someone of your generation knows a show like this.

[Lavenderlash]

@XMilleniumProd yes,I'm a huge fan of old shows like this :) I'm the only person who knows what this is and much more at my school,and I only wish that I wasn't the only one who knew this show or an actor like Corey Haim(I'm a huge Corey Haim fan) I'm trying to find other vhs tapes so I could have a marothon =^-^=

[RetroVideoFan]

They actually made new episodes up until 1993, but it remained on PBS in reruns until 1997.

[travelsonic]

@RetroVideoFan And, IIRC, reruns ran on Fox Family for a while. I remember on a family trip to San Diego in 1999 watching STS [more specifically the Mr. Conductor's Thomas Tales" episodes].

[BramGroatFilms]

How about the TV specials?

[mmayfield1994]

they stop makong new ones 3 years after i was born

[darthwinsor]

it was cancelled when i was born, i grew up with the tapes

[cbolanz]

wait are the shining time station vhs' still avalible to order on the internets?

[KappaMikeyGuanofan12]

@cbolanz yep. i have 3 of them. ur best bet of finding them is either ebay or amazon

[bluehedgehogfan]

i miss shining time station

[ThomasFan3751]

@bluehedgehogfan Same here.

[FlyingDuckMan360]

Shining Time Station is An Absolute Classic I Grew Up Watching as a Child. In My Opinion, it Was One of The Best Kid's Shows During Its Run on PBS, and To a Lesser Extent, Fox Family and Nick Jr. Why Kid's Shows Today Can't Be Like This is Beyond Me.

[Thomasfan89]

@FlyingDuckMan360 tell me about it. I love this show very much. the guys on youtube here have put episodes of shining time station on. That was very thoughtful of them, but they don't have all the episodes.

[skullzproductions]

@Thomasfan89 yeah including the eleusive episode no one has: Schemer's Robot

[skullzproductions]

best years of my life [sniffs sadly]

[thomasfan93]

@skullzproductions I agrees.

[BobbyRossRacing93]

@skullzproductions I balled out crying
