About Me
I am a big fan of Thomas the Tank Engine, as well as Barney the Dinosaur. I love making up parodies and ideas for Thomas & Friends VHS/DVD's, Ringo Starr US narrations and more. My favorite narrator is Ringo Starr.

The Thomas Narrators I like from Greatest to Least

 * 1) Ringo Starr (Most Favorite) - He's my favorite top narrator, and should've had also narrated the rest of Season 1-2 for American audiences, and Season 3-8 as well. I think in Season 1, when he narrated, he sounds like a kind and happy man.
 * 2) Michael Angelis - He's a good narrator,
 * 3) Mark Moraghan - I love his new narrations,
 * 4) George Carlin (Season 4) - He's okay. I hated when he redid the Ringo Starr era episodes. But I like his Season 3-4 narrations (though in S3, when he narrated with his regular voice, he kinds sounded bored)
 * 5) Alec Baldwin - He's awesome, but not as good as Ringo Starr.
 * 6) Michael Brandon (Least Favorite) - He's a awful narrator.

Random Thoughts on Thomas and Friends
Seasons 1-4 were the good seasons of the TV Series, starting with Season 5, the models started slowly to look unrealistic, and the show started to go downhill with the new series from Season 8. I like some RWS episodes in Season 5-7 (except Diesel Does It Again).

I hated it when Britt brought all the rights and paved the way for Hit to take over and turned the show into a downhill show, as the Railway Series, Thomas was so special and I hated it when characters like Duck, Donald, Douglas, Oliver, BoCo, Daisy, Stepney, Sir Handel, Duke, Terence and Caroline started to slowly disappear after Season 4 or just made cameos. The episodes starting with Season 5 became unrealistic. The nitrogen era of the CGI series was dull and gray, and most of the episodes were annoying or boring. And another thing was that the now very annoying "You have caused confusion and Delay" started in Season 5 as well as Percy being stupid and THE THREE STRIKES METHOD (Lady Hatt's Birthday Party was the first one) and HEAPS of pointless merchandising characters (including Arry and Bert), which also started in Season 5. The only new engines from Season 5 onwards that I like are Cranky, the Bertram, Derek, Salty, Harvey, Jack and the Pack, Emily, Fergus, Arthur, Murdoch, Spencer, Molly, Rosie, Whiff, Billy, Stanley, Flora, Charlie, Paxton, Millie, Stephen, Caltin, Connor, Timothy, Marion and Reg.

The one location I have never liked is Maithwaite. It's a pathetic replacement for Elsbridge as well as appearing in rubbish seasons.

Starting with Season 17, when Arc and Andrew Brenner came, the series started to get back on track. Duck, Bill, Ben and Harvey returned and the characters personalities started to slowly go back to their personalities from the classic series and the background got a little lighter. In Season 18, Donald, Douglas, Oliver and Toad will be returning and I hope more classic and new series characters return in Season 18 and 19, and more RWS stories to be loosely adapted as well.

I think that the show should of stayed with the Season 4 models, sets, quality and music, but with more Awdry/Brenner Magazine Stories and that starting with Season 5 (which would've been made in 1993) the episodes were 10 minutes and they have 40 episodes, and that all main and recurring characters had a speaking role in each season and that characters didn't disappear after Season 4, with Ringo Starr narrating the entire Season 1-2 for UK/US, George Carlin narrating Season 3-7, and Alec Baldwin narrating Season 8-16.

Random Thoughts on Barney and Friends
Backyard Gang and Seasons 1-3 were the good seasons of Barney and Friends, starting with Season 4, the costumes and voices started slowly to look so unrealistic, but the show started to go downhill with the new series in Season 7. I hated it when voices are so horrible, as before Season 7, Barney and Friends is so great, and I hated it when Lyrick Studios (Formely as Lyons Group) got it's rights for the show brought away by HiT, and the school, playground and treehouse started to slowly disappear after Season 6. The episodes starting with Season 7 became unrealistic and it is impossible for most characters voices to change. The park era of the series was dull and very poor.

I think that the show should of stayed with the Season 2-3 Barney (S3), Baby Bop and BJ voices and costumes (Baby Bop and BJ's 1996 costumes), quality from "Musical Scrapbook", the Second Era sets and the music from Season 4, but with original written episodes and that stating with Season 4 the seasons had 40 episodes, and that all main and recurring characters had a speaking role in each season and that voices also didn't change after "Barney's Musical Scrapbook". I think no locations should of been introduced after Season 6. If they stayed with the Season 3 voices and costumes no school, playground or treehouse would of started to slowly disappear after Season 7.

Things I want to see in Barney and Friends for the future

 * More Barney films before and after 1998
 * Make a crossover between Barney, Thomas and The Wonder Pets
 * The S4-6 school, playground and treehouse sets in Series 7-present.
 * Bob West doing the voice for a Barney in Series 7-present (zags if using his Series 3 voice and continue use the Season 3 costume, using Series 4 music, and using Series 2-3 Baby Bop and Series 3 BJ voice, and [tel:1996-2997 1996-2997] Baby Bop and BJ costumes).
 * Conrinue use the Series 3 Barney costume, 1996-1997 Baby Bop and BJ costumes, and Series 2-3 Barney, Baby Bop and BJ voices after Musical Scrapbook.
