    Something I realized because of the 2 episode format from Season 1 that nobody talks about:
    Because of the format, any odd-numbered episode that is not the first story of a Railway Series book has a line towards the beginning of an episode that gives context from the previous episode to either remind viewers or tell viewers who didn’t see the previous episode what lead up to the episode’s current situation since it’s the first episode of an airing but in the middle of a book.
    Thomas and the Breakdown Train: “Remember, you can never be as strong and fast as Gordon, but you can be a Really Useful Engine. Don’t let the silly trucks tease you.”
    The Flying Kipper: “The special coal they’ve given you is working well.”
    Down the Mine: Not long ago, he had fallen into a dirty ditch. Thomas enjoyed teasing him about it.
    You get the gist.

    I mostly watched Thomas on VHS instead of TV as it was broadcast too soon after school on CITV so I rarely got home in time. I didn't watch Thomas again on TV until NickJR started broadcasting it. But by then I had the Internet and could watch Thomas any time.

    Something else I wanted to point out about some season 11 and 12 airings. They reused songs from past seasons. But they had karaoke and replaced or rearranged shots and they were longer. Mostly the Season 7 shots. My question is why? Why did they change the classic shots with hit ones that look no where near as good?

    • @portablethomas
      @portablethomas  Před 3 měsíci

      HiT was the current stuff back then so it'd look more consistent to have HiT footage.

    I find it frustrating that Calling all engines (Despite being in the style of Thomas on TV sort of) never aired on TV on PBS and when they aired it on Nick Jr they removed the songs and learning segments, the things that made that special fit as an airing were removed or the special was not shown.

      I doubt they removed it cause Awdry was displeased of one story.

    You forgot the very first Thomas movie, Thomas & the Magic Railroad, the only movie worth watching. After Series 5, Thomas episodes should have been kept to 4 and a half minutes long, with the same themes of music. That way, Thomas' classic image would never have been ruined.

    • @portablethomas

      That was hardly formatted differently for TV aside from the end credits being sped up on the BBC broadcasts.
