Hello. This is ThomasandMichael2 on Youtube. I hope to enjoy my time on this wikia. :)

A bit of backstory
So, where to begin? Well, concerning how I became a Thomas fan, I've been a fan of the show (off and on, mind you) since 1994, when I was two years old. So my knowledge of how exactly I became a fan is quite murky for me to remember. Although I do remember watching its American series Shining Time Station on PBS, Fox Family, and even Nick Jr. I also remember another show on Fox Family which had Thomas stories in it called Storytime with Thomas. But other than that, I don't seem to remember much on how I started being a fan.

TV Series-wise, I do prefer the classic series over the HIT and CGI series, no doubt about it. Although I do like the animation used in most of the CGI series and specials, the writing has been a downfall for me big time. But I did like Blue Mountain Mystery, and I thought it was pretty good. And from what I've seen in Season 17, it is an improvement. Not quite as awesome as Seasons 1-4, but I will say it's better than what we've been getting in the past, that's for sure. :P

Anyway, I think I should tell you about some of my favorites concerning the show, so without further ado...

My Favorites Associated with Thomas

 * Favorite Character: Thomas (kinda obvious, but if I had to choose another character, I'd probably say Edward or Percy)
 * Favorite Episodes: too many to list. :P
 * Favorite Season: Season 2
 * Favorite Narrator: George Carlin
 * Favorite Theme: Repairs theme from Season 2

Some facts of randomness...
Now here are some random facts about me concerning the Thomas series that you may or may not know.
 * The first Thomas engines I ever owned were the ERTL characters Thomas, Edward, Percy, Annie and Clarabel, and the Tar and Milk tankers during Christmas 1994.
 * The first video I ever owned (not counting a Shining Time home video with episodes I recorded on it) was James goes Buzz Buzz and Other Stories, which I still have.
 * I grew up with and love the American PBS show Shining Time Station which featured Thomas stories, even to this day. The videos I own from the series include the Kid Vision release of Stacy Cleans Up. I also have a home video with the Family Specials of Once Upon a Time and Queen for a Day, the Fox Family versions of Field Day and Bully for Mr. Conductor, and an episode of Storytime with Thomas featuring the Season 5 episodes Happy Ever After and Busy Going Backwards, both narrated by Alec Baldwin.
 * Most of my Thomas collection is currently resting in my attic, but some of the engines I own (mainly Wooden Railway) and a few DVDs are still in my room, and some even in my basement.

Other Shows I Like
Now, here are some other shows I like other than TTTE and STS: And there may be some others that I haven't listed (mainly because I forgot them).
 * The Simpsons (mainly the first 10-12 seasons)
 * TUGS
 * Theodore Tugboat
 * My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Yep I'm a brony!)
 * Anything to do with Muppets (including 20th century Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock)
 * Littlest Pet Shop (2012 version)
 * The Magic School Bus
