About Me
Kia Ora everyone, I am Michael. I am a fan of such shows as Thomas (Seasons 1-4 and 17 onwards mostly as well as the mini books by Christopher Awdry), Johnson and Friends, Ferry Boat Fred, Kenan and Kel, Towser, Widget the World Watcher, 1991-1995 Wiggles, Sooty and Co, Fourways Farm, Lift Off and a lot of other stuff. Despite my name, my favourite location is Crocks Scrap Yard, Elsbridge is my third favourite, after Knapford Harbour. My favourite kind of Thomas is Thomas released by Endeavour Entertainment. I am also an admin over on the Ferry Boat Fred Wiki as well as Johnson and Friends wiki and Towser Wiki so please join if you want to, we could really use some editors. If you want to be friends, just leave me a message and I'll be happy to do so, see you around.

My Views on Thomas
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 non RWS series in Season 5. I hated it when Britt brought all the rights and paved the way for Hit to take over and turned the show into a preschool show, as the Railway Series, Thomas was for every one 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 merchandising characters, which also started in Season 5 onwards.

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.

I think that the show should of stayed with the Season 4 models, sets, music and quality but with Awdry/more Brenner Magazine Stories and that stating with Season 5 the episodes were 10 minutes and the seasons had 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, and George Carlin remained as narrator in the US until Season 7 and Michael Angelis became the US Storyteller from Season 8-16 and Paul Larson was head writer and Alec Baldwin and Michael Brandon never became narrators.

What I want to see in the future
This is what I want to see in the future of the Thomas franchise.
 * Hit Entertainment to make the TV Series for everyone again.
 * The return of BoCo, Daisy, Murdoch, Arthur, Fergus, Stepney, Duke, Red Express Coaches, S4 Narrow Gauge Coaches, Terence, Trevor, George and Caroline, as well as the Express Coaches to speak again.
 * The return of all locations that disappeared after Seasons 1-4.
 * A Narrow Gauge episode outside of the Blue Mountain Quarry.
 * Arc to re-animated the Skarloey Railway engines after their Season 4 models and to re-animated all the engines faces after their Seasons 3-4 faces.
 * The voice actors to give most of the characters from the classic series voices sound similar to their voices from Seasons 1-4 in both the UK and US dubs.
 * Hit Entertainment to stop introducing so many new characters in the TV Series.
 * Bear, Pip, Emma, the Culdee Fell Railway and other Railway Series characters to be introduced in the TV series.
 * More appearances of the classic series characters that return.
 * Bash, Dash, Ferdinand and Misty Island to NEVER EVER be seen or mentioned again.
 * More Railway Series books to be written.
