Thomas the Tank Engine

Post Reply New Topic

I was too old to like Teletubbies though, and pretended that I didn't, but at home I had a Teletubbies toy.
I have the Postman Pat theme tune stuck in my head now! I liked Postman Pat and remember thinking it was much better than Fireman Sam.

I realised loads of the programs I watched when I was really little were made in the 60s, 70s and 80s! I never minded. I don't think I noticed. I think all kids stuff on tv is modern now though. Perhaps I'm wrong.

I have Thomas the Tank Engine bed sheets, and a pillow cover. I guess I really did like him.

Both my sons enjoyed Thomas the Tank Engine, but have sinced lost interest in him---so we sold all of it to a friend. There are still some Thomas items left like drinking glasses, etc. Well, I am 44, and I like to work on my computer in the bedroom during the daytime. I have light sensitivity issues and decided to put a blanket over the window---I chose the Thomas the Tank Engine blanket. Perhaps I relate to him too?

I’m 52 years old and I absolutely love Thomas the Tank Engine. I absolutely love a TV show called Shining Time Station back in 1990 and that is were I was introduce to Thomas the Tank Engine. I now watch Thomas and Friends. I also absolutely love Mickey Mouse and Disney since I was a child. I have a Mickey Mouse which I sleep with. He is very old. I have had him for a very long time. I also have a wooden Thomas the Tank Engine that can talk that I carry in my pocket wherever I go. Being Legally Blind, Developmentally Disabled and suffering from an anxiety disorder and depression. Thomas helps through my day. Yes I defiantly think Schemer from Shining Time Station has Autism.

My two year old nephew loves him, and he has a lot of traits. He got a Thomas and Friends sticker book/colouring in book today, and he's wearing his Thomas socks right now.

He loves other trains, too. He gets upset if he can't watch Thomas or videos of real trains on YouTube.

My brother is NT but he watched Thomas the Tank so much when he was little, that the video tape wore out. I liked it too, and it was rather popular among kids in the early '90s. I lost interest in it when I got to about 7-8. Also, among Thomas the Tank, I loved other children's shows too, like The Snowman and Grampa (Raymond Briggs), Children's TV Favourites, and I also seemed to enjoy childrens shows from the '60s what we had on tape. And I watched Playdays every day after school.

I used to like it as a kid but the interest never stayed with me.

An old friend however remained a fan well past the target audience age and is most likely a fan today at 26/27. It unfortunately got him teased at school though because adolescents aren't supposed to like "baby shows". Well sod them
