Top Ten Reasons Thomas & Friends Is Better Than You Think

Our everyday 'Thomas & Friends' kids show is not as bad as we know it to be.
The Top Ten
1 The YouTube remakes of episodes are made by teens and adults

Thought Thomas WAS a baby show? Watch these to find out that it's not even stupid. The moving faces in them usually rely on MS Paint.

2 The Railway Series books

The begging of it is the best but I love it all

Gotta love additional characters Wilbert, Albert, Pip, Emma, 16, Spamcan and Bear.

It's actually sixteen.

3 The show manages to rival ripoffs such as Chuggington

And it's still not leaving the hearts of kids of all ages! HiT:Take that, you bright-light, over-speed, strange and dumb show Chuggington! Sarah Ball:What do I do? WHAT DO I DO?

I think chuggington is fake.

Chuggington is stupid

I hate chuggington with a passion and this should never be remeoved

4 Ringo Starr narration

If you hate the Beatles you have no taste in music.

5 Trainboys

Yep. Thomas has fanboys too! They're like taking over YouTube and Wikia. I honestly looked up 'help sound effect' when the kitchen door was stuck and found a Thomas video in my suggestions. But no, that's definitely not the last stop. They do remakes and new episodes using Sodor Island 3D, film reading Railway Series books, do fan characters like Dani, turn Thomases into ponies (because they are mainly half Brony) and many more.

6 His friends

I like the rest of his friends but I think Gordon should be scrapped and replaced with Connor and Caitlin because they go much faster then Gordon and Gordon is not very fast and and he's always conplaining and not friendly either and Connor and Caitlin Well be taking over the express from Gordon also and they can take it to the mainland and back like they go also

Thomas' friends are the best (even the humans). My favourite is Stanley due to our similarities. I also like Molly, Neville and Hank. Find 'em on the Thomas the Tank Engine Wikia to check all the awesomeness day got *walks away like a rapper*. But if you haven't been to TTTE Wikia before and you worry about the behaviour of the users, I'll tell you about the quartet of characters I mentioned earlier: Stanley had to take Thomas' place because Thomas was lost but turned out to be more of a boy-next-door, Molly did her best to look good by putting lanterns and tarpaulin over her trucks, and Hank came in from America to help around when strength is needed.

Except for one offs and Bertram, the Horrid Lorries, Splatter and Dodge, Colin, Burnett Stone, Max and Monty, Fred, Thumper, Ivo Hugh and Sixteen.

7 People are making the most of it before its 2017 cancellation

It didn't get cancelled, but the show went in a different direction at the year.

Well, I suppose you could say that the show as we knew it was cancelled.

Good job, you lot!

8 It's unavailable in lands where it's widely disrespected such as Australia

Even japan its gone nuts on Thomas and friends why not call it Thomas land anyone get it

9 The wooden toy Thomas started out as

Oops I thought you guys were talking about the merchandise line.

I must say, nice carving!

10 The Instrumentals and Cues

I want Donald and Douglas' theme on iTunes.

And season seven to

From seasons 1-6, yes.

The Contenders
11 Characters return

Yes, but when they first appear, they're good, and when they return, they're terrible.

It really makes the show more special and personal.

12 It deals with parodies
13 It teaches kids about railroading and trains
14 Real engines appearing on the show!
15 They were able to redeem the series with season 17

But Harvey became a plot device and Bill, Ben and Duck started acting like idiots!

Series 8-16 really sucked.

16 Celebrity Narrators

The had Ringo Starr, George Carlin, Alec Baldwin, and John Hurt on the show.

Those had to be the best actors they ever had for the series before the cgi switchover

Ringo Starr, George Carlin, Alec Baldwin!

17 The Toys Aren't Bad

It's a good start for kids that like playing with model trains. And it really helps their imagination grow when they make stories with their toys.

The toys are legendary

18 George Carlin narration
19 It teaches you friendship and being nice

Being aware? Forgivable? Trusting? (etc.)

Should be retitled "It teaches you valuable life lessons."
