'How The Station Got Its Name' Part 1

[MrTF1993]

Thomas stories: "Toby the Tram Engine" and "Thomas Breaks The Rules"

[finnishminnow]

@bcakapinky Yes BECAUSE... that Thomas Story ("Toby the Tram Engine") was featured on both the "Tenders & Turntables" and "A Big Day for Thomas" Videos and DVDs.

[mrfuzzyhead948]

another perfectly good show RUINED!!

[Darkheart101]

The whole time I watched this I had a stupid smile on my face.

[MikeD57s]

What year was this when they went back in time?

[bcakapinky]

First time they showed an episode where Becky, Kara, and Mr. Conductor go back in time to see what life was like at the station when Stacy's grandmother ran the station, only to find the missing piece of a lantern.

[cupcakefairy87]

Was this show only broadcast in America?

[Francie275]

i hate how the new Thomas the tank engine show that started after Alec Baldwin isn't anything like this show. and i hate that they don't use the same songs like Toby's theme. o and as soon as the new show was made they got rid of even Thomas's too and haven't used it since. ( i'm pissseddd offf)

[kalteich]

i loved this show as a kid...i was destined to. My grandfather worked 30 years for the railroad company, George Carlin is my all time favorite stand up comedian, and Ringo Starr is my favorite Beatle. Who knew?

[TheRapper10000]

Ahh Memors! I have always asked myself who play those pupets in the JukeBox.

[LondonGamer986]

What the hell is this?

[fergo560]

@crw45able newb

[tripdefect87]

I fucking loved Shining Time Station as a kid

The episode I remember the most is when one of the kids is tricked into buying a toy robot

[ninjakio930]

Yay!!

[ThomasTheJerkEngine]

Toby is looking lame Thomas and Friends Railroad tracks make my day

[sweetlife031]

Is this just the usual actors playing the parts of the character's grandparents?

[RIPJohnandGeorge]

When I first saw this, I tryed going back in time. LOL

[mattdude90]

Whats this American Thomas The Tank Engine rubbish? It just doesn't make sense? Why American? The originals the best.

[tiffpink]

wheres the theme song?

[lawrence142002]

I can't hardly hear it... I've got my speakers all the way up... If ANYONE has it in better quality, please post!!!

I believe this was the final episode of Shining Time Station (Excluding the family specials)

[Smoofie92]

George Carlin was the best of the actors on Shining Time Station

[MissSpeddy]

isent that rheneas next to toby's shed at

6:11?

[Kleman09]

Could this possibly be uploaded in better picture, sound, and quality?

[6346521]

Good movie

[DorvellTStewart]

RIP George Carlin!

[schemer1991]

@DorvellTStewart yes i know that george carlin past away a couple years ago

[musicmaker72]

I remember when this episode came out. It was the last full episode before "Mr. Conductor's Thomas Tales."

[bassman5588]

this was pbs at its best. Ringo was the best narrator, but Carlin did a good job. Michael Brandon, the new narrator is just awful.

[BlackWolfessUSCM]

Michael Brandon? I thought Alec Baldwin was doing it now?

[bassman5588]

Alec Baldwin did do it for a few years, but hasn't done it for a while. Michael Brandon has been doing it for about 5 years.

In England, Pierce Brosnan does it now.

[BlackWolfessUSCM]

Pierce Brosnan does it in England? Oh Now This I have to hear, sounds like he'd be absolutly good at it.

[deejayy2k]

@bassman5588 pierce only did the great discovery

[CameraMan6]

@bassman5588 actually micheal angelis is more terrible

[NHLFan464646]

@bassman5588 Brandon is okay. Angelis sucks balls

[TherealRNO]

Among the top five PBS shows:

1. Sesame Street (BEFORE "Elmo's World")

2. Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? ("She put the 'miss' in misdemeanor when she stole the beans from Lima...")

3. Mr. Roger's Neighborhood ("It's a beautiful day in the neighborhod...")

4. Shining Time Station ("Reach for the steam. Reach for the whistle. Go where the rail may run...")

5. Lambchop's Play Along ("This is the song that doesn't end...")

[barrelracer1983]

gotta agree w/ ya. I like Lamb Chop too.

[powerrangerguy]

I can agree to all those.

[TherealRNO]

powerrangers: Of course. They--like PR--are classic.

[eskerton]

Maaaaan I wish I was 5 again and didnt have to worry about anything. I didnt even know what worry meant. This is a great vid, I'm going to probably watch them all and remind myself of them good 'ol days.

[traindude95]

same

[starmadge]

George Carlin is GOD! So funny. I can't get Seven Dirty Words outa my head.

[DJSawBlade]

here is not a place for that comment.

[TheSpriteMonster]

Same here! Best children's show on PBS.

[Thanno1995]

This is the very first shining time episode i've seen. It looks cool. You American's were lucky. Living in Aus, we only got the straight out episodes.

[Woodenfan]

Wheres the beginning of the story??

[sailorearth2007]

Oh I miss this old show.

[Gojirafan101]

Me to it was more important to me than Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

I wish it was on DVD

[powerrangerguy]

Hmm...more important than power rangers? I'm not sure, it's a tie if not more important. Great show!

[Prototype8907]

wow im 18 and i still love thomas! anybody know what that episode of shining time station is where that they're having a problem with garbage and that garbage man can't dump his trash anywhere?

[silverbalto]

I haven't seen this episode in like 13 years

[iam114]

Wow,this brings back ALOT of memories. I remember this from my childhood! I loved Schemer's character. Wish they didn't take quality TV like this off the air, and replace it with the dumed-down Thomas stories today. (My opinion, hope i'm not offending anyone)

[clashrogers]

Shining Time Station is actually an introduction and a spin-off of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends

[dancelano]

I knew the set Shining Time Station was made, but it's not January 1989. It's the set the crew uses during the old days, Trey0306.

[Engineer5344]

anyone know where i can find this show on dvd. i would love to relieve my childhood again. i remember coming home from kidegarten class. or maybe before leaving. anyway. everyday i would watch this show.

[Shorinjikan]

Why has Thomas the tank engine been wrapped up in this awful children's show? :(

[helgaleenas]

What's the problem with him being in the show? He is the star, why else would they have Mr. Conductor.

[magicstation123]

This show is not awful. It's the only show the you'll get to see today that isn't bad for children to watch.

[Shorinjikan]

I'm sorry you feel that way, but I'd much prefer to watch Thomas the Tank Engine wiothout having to watch this weirdness first.

[captstar1]

then perhaps you should'nt have watched it. it's a quant little series. i loved it in my days as a young toddler. im 14 now and i still love thomas!

[coasterfreak14]

I'm 16 now and I still kind of like Thomas! Beat that!

The reason I still like is because I plan to built a theme park with Thomas and Friends.

[captstar1]

i was'nt in race. i don't kind of like it though. i always will like it. i hope hit just brings it down and lets thomas have rest. i hope to bring back his forgotten sister series.

[CyDaSnake]

I'm 16 and a half and I still watch and enjoy Thomas aswell as Ovide! Beat that! I'm "Retro Rad"!!

[foduckizhott]

Wow! U r amazing! I do to! I still collect the

DVDs! Will u be my friend??? What's your name?

Mine's Avril

[CyDaSnake]

Sure, already sent the request.

[foduckizhott]

Sweet!

[megaluv92]

this show is NOT awful. i guess u cant appreciate the good things in life. when i was little i used to watch it all the time :)

[dancelano]

I love the part when Didi Conn, Tom Jackson, Brain O'Connor and Mart Hultsit plays Gracie Jones, William Twofeathers, Jebediah Schemer and BJ King.

[berks475]

I used to watch this show when I was little, schemer always made me laugh. Genious Time, Genious Time.

[jackychan92]

This is also the last time Mr. Conductor's whistle and magic dust sounds are correct.

[dancelano]

I mean this is the last episode Stacy Jones has short hair.

[jedimickey]

Oh man, Nostalgia!

[dancelano]

This is the last episode Stacy has his short hair.

[startug4]

his?

[dancelano]

Schemer doesn't appear in this episode, only his grandpa, Jebediah Schemer. If we can see him, just go to part 2.

[stealth387]

I haven't watched this in about 10 years.

[zeored95]

my 2nd favorite show (after Thomas LOL)

[hilarydufffan56]

[zzxppoppit]

[zzxppoppit]
