To all these people complaining about my long introduction sequence, just skip straight to timestamp 5:29, and you won't really be missing all this much. Nothing to make completely hard on yourselves over. Also, long pinned comment alert but... here goes nothing. I have some updated rankings to make after the making of this video from 2022 that will be contradicted now that it's 2024. I have wanted to get out to the comments section to show some of these ranking choices I made have either aged poorly or I wanted to bring an episode lower or higher regarding my current thoughts and feelings, but with new words to be said about them in 10+ words or less depending on the episode I am reranking in seasonal order (spoilers, I am not planning to rerank "A Shed for Edward" (please don't @ me) , "Forever and Ever", "Thomas and the New Engine" (still shit), "The Way She Does It" (I just don't buy this one being good, I'm sorry), "Edward Strikes Out" (obviously, GOD NO!), "Thomas' Animal Friends" (mid), "Henry Spots Trouble", or any other episode I don't plan to change my mind on either because some of the episodes are either overhated or I have episodes that I personally and unironically or ironically like but I know everyone else hates like "Rusty to the Rescue" as an example with some episodes I don't think deserve to be looked upon fondly at all and still don't deserve it today): - "The Trouble with Mud" (Season 3) - 5/10 [AVERAGE] - Three seasons in and this is the least faithful RWS adaptation. - "The Old Bridge" (Season 7) - 8/10 [GREAT] - This episode is good, you actually hate this? - "As Good as Gordon" (Season 8) - 2/10 [AWFUL]. - "Thomas and the Statue" (Season 9) - 9/10 [AMAZING] - A great way to celebrate 60 years than "Calling All Engines!" - "Henry and the Flagpole" (Season 9) - 4/10 [MEDIOCRE] - There are actually worse Henry episodes than this. - "Duncan and the Old Mine" (Season 9) - 10/10 [EXCELLENT]. - "Toby Feels Left Out" (Season 9) - 7/10 [GOOD] - I can't believe I was ever so mean to a Toby episode from Seasons 8-11 that was actually good. I'm sorry to everyone for not considering watching it again earlier when I was working on that video. - "Thomas and the Toy Workshop" (Season 9) - 7/10 [GOOD]. - "Keeping Up with James" (Season 10) - 8/10 [GREAT]. - "Emily and the Special Coaches" (Season 10) - 7/10 [GOOD] - There's a lot more good to this one than I remembered. - "Thomas Sets Sail" (Season 11) - 7/10 [GOOD] - Good casting of characters and good pacing, too. (PS, this episode has aged not as well as I thought). - "Thomas and the Stinky Cheese" (Season 11) - 3/10 [BAD] - The cheese is melted, that's why it stank. - "Sir Handel in Charge" (Season 11) - 5/10 [AVERAGE] - "The Green Controller", but it's mid. - "Steady Eddie" (Season 12) - 1/10 [TERRIBLE] - I'm glad Edward never got another spotlight role in an episode until Season 14. - "Charlie and Eddie" (Season 14) - 2/10 [AWFUL] - "Play Time" again, but worse. - "Merry Misty Island" (Season 14) - 4/10 [MEDIOCRE] - A mediocre way to end of an awful season. - "Wonky Whistle" (Season 15) - 2/10 [AWFUL] - Big shock that I reranked the worst Thomas episode ever written by Thomas fans. - "Thomas Makes a Mistake" (Season 23) - 2/10 [AWFUL] - Thomas, this is the 7th time in a row you've learned how to ask your friends for help this week. (JK, it's actually the 11th time in a row he's learned this lesson lol). - "Emily to the Rescue" (Season 24) - 7/10 [GOOD] - Some flaws with the episode here and there, but Emily deserved her Number 12. - Both "Marvelous Machinery" episodes (Season 24) - 1/10 [TERRIBLE] - Still the worst arc in the series, but I don't think I needed to rank them this low from both a word and number out of ten standpoint. And if I need to revise my Top 10 Worst Thomas Episode choices, here you go: 10. "Thomas Makes a Mistake" 9. "Henry's Magic Box" 8. "Apology Impossible" 7. "Fiery Flynn" 6. "Edward Strikes Out" 5. "Don't Go Back" 4. "The Way She Does It" 3. "Marvelous Machinery" (both episodes) 2. "Sodor Surprise Day" (ultimately replacing "Wonky Whistle", but unlike "Wonky Whistle" where a part of me at least can't help but call it so terrible, it's laughable, "Sodor Surprise Day" is the bigger sum up of everything wrong with the Nitrogen era) 1. "Push Me, Pull You!" - At this point, I hate this episode the most of all the infamous stinkers the show had during its long run. (Dis)honorable Mentions: "Wonky Whistle" (the episode only sucks because I see the potential in it and that it at least does have an original premise), "Middle Engine", "Tram Trouble", "Thomas' Frosty Friend", "Kenji on the Rails Again", "Skarloey the Brave", "Thomas and the New Engine", "Emily's Adventure", and "Emily in the Middle".
The fact that it took six seasons to get an episode you didn't like is a testament to the classic era's quality. I'll miss this beautiful show, but at least we'll always have what we got...for better and for worse.
I for the most part agree with your HiT Era scores. That's personally the one I grew up with so I have a nostalgia tinted view of them. I think seasons 8 and 11 are great and "James the Second Best" is my favorite James story in HiT.
Whenever TRXN talks about HIS inspiration/love for the Gordon Station Joke, he always cites WTLNetwork - they were using that joke a ton like 9+ years ago. Also, great vid. Lot of work and dedication.
29:15 Newscaster: Tonight, on Sodor News - Wilbert Awdry, the creator of Thomas the Tank Engine, is successfully resurrected over 20 years since his death. Our reporter is with him now. Wilbert: Does the TV series still make Henry a stupid tree lover? Reporter: No, he's now a complete coward. The latest episode has him afraid of a snowman. Wilbert: Good Night! (flatlines)
My favorite episode from each season: Season 1: The Flying Kipper Season 2: Edward’s Exploit Season 3: Escape Season 4: Thomas and the Special Letter Season 5: Haunted Henry Season 6: Gordon Takes a Tumble Season 7: Three Cheers for Thomas Jack and the Pack: Thomas’ Trusty Friends Season 8: Halloween Season 9: Respect for Gordon Season 10: It’s Good to be Gordon Season 11: Tie between Gordon and the Engineer and Hector the Horrid Season 12: Best Friends Season 13: Tickled Pink Season 14: Being Percy Season 15: Edward the Hero Season 16: Happy Birthday Sir Season 17: Bill or Ben?

20:35 "Breakdown cranes don't even move by themselves, YOU BRAINLESS IDIOTS!!" First Harvey, now Rocky. No wonder many called this episode one of the worst (if not THE worst) of the HIT era. Character assassination to a tee. Also thought that "technical difficulties" screen was hilarious.
Happy Birthday, Sir! rated better than Coal and Flying Kipper will always be a sin in my eyes. but this video was fun to watch otherwise! Keep up the great work!
11:19, Yes I get the reference because not only I'm a huge Thomas fan but I'm also a MEGA fan of Ghostbusters. Especially the Original 1984 Film since it is one of my favorite movies of all time and the theme song is actually my number 1 favorite song of all time.
I also hated a shed for Edward and shed for Henry. I think that’s what the episodes called two of the cast just gone replace with someone that doesn’t even speak their language LOL and someone that says. Hiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaa Everyone should just be kicked out herself.
I also wish they did continue the CGI like it would’ve been cool to have a 25th season like they could’ve been like a really good connection. If Arthur came back he could’ve pulled good trains with Henry or Charlie and Billy could’ve just been making jokes all day and they could’ve been like a big race between Gordon Scotsman Connor Caitlin Spencer and it would’ve been cool to see Sam, come back to Sodor maybe with a Murdoch Molly could’ve been good to come back. I really miss Molly. She was one of my favourites.

Yes Johnathan. I wanted to show everyone that ratings list following the officially REAL production order for Season 24. It's a reminder for them to not be fooled by the fact that "Thomas' Animal Friends" is not the last episode produced. Sure, it aired last in the UK, Australia, and came out Netflix in the US, but that could be blamed on Mattel and/or Milkshake for screwing up by not following the actual production order.
I have yet to revisit the movie made for it, but I do find some enjoyment with S22 and S23, but S24 wasn't all that great. It may have had a great 75th anniversary/series finale special, it may have toned down the fantasy sequences, and it may have ended Emily's long arc on the show on a decent note. But rather do I find that season lackluster compared to the other two in my opinion.
24:03 PRR 1361: *heh ya boi* 25:35 yes this episode is trash but the Appearance of 4501's whistle is nice 29:18 Yes indeed because there was a cameo from city of Truro

Season 1: Thomas and Bertie’s Great Race Season 2: Bertie’s Chase Season 3: Mavis, Toby’s Tightrope (TIED) Season 4: Peter Sam and the Refreshment Lady Season 5: Sir Topham Hatt’s Holiday Season 6: Edward the Very Useful Engine Season 7: Bill Ben and Fergus, Edward’s Brass Band (TIED) Season 8: Halloween, Edward the Great (TIED) Season 9: Mighty Mac Season 10: Thomas and the Birthday Mail Season 11: Gordon and the Mechanic Season 12: Gordon Takes a Shortcut, Rosie’s Carnival Special, Heave-ho Thomas (TRIPLE TIED) Season 13: Toby’s New Whistle Season 14: Victor Says Yes Season 15: Edward the Hero Season 16: Bust my Buffers, Happy Birthday Sir (TIED) Season 17: Wayward Winston Season 18: Old Reliable Edward Season 19: Rocky Rescue Season 20: Henry gets the Express Season 21: Dowager Hatt’s Busy Day Season 22: Hunt the Car Season 23: Free the Roads, Heart of Gold (TIED) Season 24: The Great Little Railway Show Now here are my least favorite episodes as well Season 1: Thomas and the Conductor Season 2: Better Late Than Never Season 3: Diesel Does it Again Season 4: Special Attraction Season 5: Gordon and the Gremlin Season 6: Middle Engine Season 7: What’s the Matter With Henry Season 8: Thomas Emily and the snowplow Season 9: Skarloey the Brave Season 10: Edward Strikes Out, Thomas’s Frosty Friend (TIED) Season 11: Don’t be Silly Billy Season 12: Don’t Go Back, Saved You, Push Me Pull You (TRIPLE TIED) Season 13: Slippy Sodor Season 14: Thomas and the Snowman Party Season 15: Wonky Whistle, Up Up and Away (TIED) Season 16: Sodor Surprise Day Season 17: Steamie Stafford Season 18: Thomas and the Emergency Cable Season 19: Salty All At Sea Season 20: Three Steam Engines Gruff Season 21: A Shed For Edward Season 22: SODOR: Apology Impossible INTERNATIONAL: Trusty Trunky Season 23: SODOR: Steam Team To the Rescue INTERNATIONAL: Too Loud Thomas Season 24: SODOR: Marvelous Machinery, Kenji on the Rails Again, Emily’s Best Friend (QUADRUPLE TIED) INTERNATIONAL: Thomas’ Not So Lucky Day Oh I almost forgot the Pack Series spin off! Favorite: Thomas’ Trusty Friends Least favorite: Jack Owns Up Don’t get offended if you see an episode you hate in my favorite section/like in my hated section. These are all my opinions. I can handle all of your opinions. Edited: 10/17/22: Three Steam Engines Gruff is my new least favorite Season 20 episode. While Diesel and the Ducklings was weird to see the diesels be “softies” when ducklings are in their presence, at least it didn’t have any character written as an idiot per se. And I got rid of the ties in my least favorite episodes of Seasons 14 and 16 because too many ties feels like bending the rules honestly. And What’s the Matter with Henry is my new least favorite season 7 episode instead of the Old Bridge. Because at least Skarloey DID have a reason to be afraid. That bridge doesn’t really look sturdy.
@@MrTrackmaster I can try to explain to you. You see, it’s basically saying “It’s okay to race backwards in a dangerous place of work.” Which is not really a good thing. Also why didn’t STH blame Diesel for also pushing ‘Arry and Bert through the sheds? Also I do have some ties for some seasons and if you want I can give a little reason why I like my favorite episodes/hate my least favorite episodes.
42:04 lol my dads side is Italian which makes me Italian and I was laughing when he said that, also, no offense at all! Number one engine new name: CCP vs ROC
11:20 is my best episode. 37:05 is my worst episode. Edit: Changing the time stamp for my worst episode, in case people think I’m talking about Dowager Hatt’s Busy Day.
Just in case this video gets marked for kids, I will either reupload the video with a disclaimer before the video starts or that I will make a comments post where everyone is welcome to repost their comments.
I think The episode "Respect For Gordon" is just a rewrite of the episode "James In A Mess" which is really a great, but also very lazy for the Hit Era to not notice that the original version and their copy are exactly the same, but with a different engine, but same messy Accident, crushing oil tankers/tar wagons/ and yes to rail tankers filled with strawberry jam, and so-fourth, because it's happened in the CGI series, too but see for yourselves, but it's true that the CGI version of the series has been rewriting the classic railway series in a different way. I'm Skye and I'll see Y'all Later.
23:06 I like this episode, but I’m pretty biased towards it because I myself have a phobia of thunder and lightning because of how sudden the flashes and noises are.
I would like it if it wasn’t Skarloey who scared because he’s the oldest engine he should’ve been in this situation more than other engines at this point I really hate how hit entertainment ruin the characters

This was a great vid and you clearly put a lot of effort into this but in my opinion it wasn’t really that witty like your inspiration, but some of the jokes really did land my favorite joke was definitely 19:09. Gooooouuuuda cheeeeeese
Well, you see? Here's the thing. "Thomas the Babysitter" came out before "Banjo and the Bushfire". Farmer Trotter named one of his piglets Thomas (like you said; of course), the baby's parents named their child after the blue tank engine, and finally, Ranger Jill names the baby crocodile Thomas after Thomas helped out the animals in an act of bravery to get all of them out of a forest fire in Australia. Therefore, "Thomas the Babysitter" was actually made before "Banjo and the Bushfire". I hope you understand this.

@@liam4367 The same thing could be said about Jumping Jobi Wood, Emily and Dash, and Steam Team To The Rescue. I’ll just give a small reason as to why I just hate these episodes. I hate JJW because of the Edward torture with the logs. I hate EaD because of its unrealism with the bird whistling. (But I do kind of like Gordon and Ferdinand and Toby and Bash.) And I hate STTTR because it’s just a mess. Why in God’s name did they not give Edward, Henry, Toby, or all the other minor character more roles in this! Or where the hell is Timothy?! Remember when he helped out at the docks in No Help At All? We’ll why couldn’t they just use him again. And also (please excuse my raging.) HOW IN THE F(beep) DID SALTY SURVIVE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA UNTIL MORNING?! I’m shocked he was still alive! Sorry, I got a little heated there. Just had to say a little reason why I dislike those episode. I mean a lot of people don’t like these episodes too and I understand that.
The ways shots were composed changed drastically in series 12 in my opinion. This is the series where we started to see an overabundance of face shots, now that they were animated, rather than the more artistic, limited-scope angles from previous series. Something about Series 12's visuals simply lack the charm of previous series, sure it's got the models, the crashes, and the narrator voicing the characters, but the charming little villagers are all animated in CGI (boo), and the expressive face plates are animated over with these lifeless uncanny models (honestly, James is the only one that looks good). And of course, this is where Sharon Miller fittingly started writing a lot more episodes. (Not to mention the IMDb ratings plummet from 6/10s to 2/10s when going from Series 11 to Series 12 lmao)
@@angelobates601 it’s basically a blend between both the Hit Era and Sharon Miller Era. It has Models and CGI, still borrows locations like Greatwaterton, and is really when the episodes start to get really awful, like 24:31 & 24:49
Given that Season 12 was the first season to have Sharon Miller as the head writer, I had to include it despite also being a season from the HiT model era as well.
23:58 I honestly respectively disagree about Henry gets it wrong I actually really like this episode in Henry's defense he tried to protect a tree and I love season 8 theme for Henry 8/10 (it's my opinion)
To be fair, I do not think Season 24 is a good season at all. As a finale season, it's kind of bad compared to 22 and 23. While there are a handful of good episodes and it had a great series finale/75th anniversary special episode, it's that season I did not have much of a liking of looking back. It did not live up to my original likings for that season when I rewatched the season. If anything in all honesty, I'd rather have that era over an era of the following listed things: - Annoying and cringey rhyming and alliteration. - The narrator not shutting up after every time a character speaks for one minute. - The nonsensical elements being more used for plot point sake than realism or ACTUAL logic. - The engines' crews acting like mindless morons and incompetent imbeciles just like the engines (most notably if you think about Thomas' crew constantly putting up with Thomas' stupid decisions 24/7). - Lack of care for most of the presently recurring or newer characters introduced from that era (sure that was a problem done before with Season 9, but if were talking about ones prior to the CGI switchover like Donald, Douglas, Oliver, Toad, Bill, Ben, Arthur, Mighty Mac, etc. You can tell no one else felt like they were caring at that point). - Constant usage of three strikes, stupidity and lack of common logic. That was taken way too far with Season 15. - Bastardized or unlikable characters like Thomas, Henry, Emily, the Logging Locos, and Charlie. - Two unfunny episodes writing firefighters as incompetent idiots who can't do anything right. - Neglecting continuity in some of the episodes from either season like "Toby's New Whistle". - Stupid stories (like "Sodor Surprise Day", "Wonky Whistle", "Surprise, Surprise!", "Tree Trouble", "James to the Rescue", etc.) And also a soft reboot from 2021 that I refuse to even go on a full on lengthy long-ass rant about for one hundred minutes without even cringing once or showing my disgust for it due to the incompetence of Mattel's executives. Mainly because I still have respect for the same team who worked on S17-21 such as Andrew Brenner (even though he left after S23), David Stoten, Tim Bain (yes, they got an Australian writer to write a few episodes for this show), Davey Moore, Whitehousefilms, and everyone else's efforts for at least trying their very best despite Mattel's crazy restrains and that there are also a handful of gems or episodes I personally like such as "Wish You Were Here", "Thomas' Animal Ark", "Thomas' Fuzzy Friend", "Seeing is Believing", "School of Duck", "Free the Roads", "Gordon and Rebecca Coming Through", "Yong Bao and the Tiger", "Tiger Trouble", "Kangaroo Christmas", "An Engine of Many Colors", "The Great Little Railway Show" (my favorite episode from that era), "Hunt the Truck", "James the Super Engine", the Pack episodes (except for "First Day on Sodor"), "Ranger on the Rails", "What Rebecca Does", "Lorenzo's Solo", the "Digs and Discoveries" arc, and "Thomas and the Royal Engine". While Seasons 12-16 had some good episodes like "Happy Birthday, Sir!", "Welcome Stafford", "Edward the Hero" (to a lesser extent), "The Biggest Surprise of All", "Heave Ho Thomas", "Best Friends", "Snow Tracks", etc. There are so much bad episodes with some having such bizarre stupid shit that I just do not care at all. I have liked that era as a kid, but looking back on it as an adult, it's no longer lived up to my original opinions on that era as a child from 9-12 years of age.
@@BriceInkling138 yeah I get where your coming from, but the reason I disagreed is not because of what it doesn't do. It's what it does, and if it does it well. I do like that it doesn't include all of what you have listed, I'm not judging by what it isn't doing, and, what it does do is very little and poorly executed, making my rs king of it lower and my opinions different, if any of this makes sense
@@charlenechaconsolis2030 And i was stating mine while also not putting down his thoughts on the episode. People have differing opinions which i'm perfectly fine with.
Although I am quite excited they were going for this movie. But I can't completely judge my thoughts on it yet. If they give out a specific plot synopsis on what it's all about, a release date to when it comes out on cinemas, show us some more of Sodor's lore, and follow on Thomas through the said plot that does not exist yet, I would give out my own thoughts and then go watch it.
You did pretty great on your favorite and least favorite episodes from season 1 to season 24 it is still a pretty good series and pretty great for different eras of the show and even the characters the creators live action model animation or CGI and everything else and if I have to choose my favorite season or at least my favorite era it would clearly be the Andrew Brenner era and Big World Big Adventures overall pretty good and pretty great and nice on the music video that you did Thomas the Tank Engine will still be in our hearts and still will to this day. And all engines go itself, I have seen episodes from season one and one of them are either hit-and-miss the new characters of Kana and Sandy are alright although I do wish that they could have give them introduction episodes but hey at least that I literally checked over a TH-cam user named Railfan#1 who literally done introductory stories on the two respective characters and I literally been catching up on season 2 one of the episodes are either decent average or just completely bad like the paint problem and literally been catching up with those new episodes whenever they get released on cartoonito and I literally sometimes do thoughts on them on my TH-cam Community page or just thought to myself about them and I might either give up on the show or just watch the new episodes on Wednesdays or Thursdays whenever I feel like it overall pretty good on the Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends series.
To all these people complaining about my long introduction sequence, just skip straight to timestamp 5:29, and you won't really be missing all this much. Nothing to make completely hard on yourselves over.
Also, long pinned comment alert but... here goes nothing.
I have some updated rankings to make after the making of this video from 2022 that will be contradicted now that it's 2024.
I have wanted to get out to the comments section to show some of these ranking choices I made have either aged poorly or I wanted to bring an episode lower or higher regarding my current thoughts and feelings, but with new words to be said about them in 10+ words or less depending on the episode I am reranking in seasonal order (spoilers, I am not planning to rerank "A Shed for Edward" (please don't @ me) , "Forever and Ever", "Thomas and the New Engine" (still shit), "The Way She Does It" (I just don't buy this one being good, I'm sorry), "Edward Strikes Out" (obviously, GOD NO!), "Thomas' Animal Friends" (mid), "Henry Spots Trouble", or any other episode I don't plan to change my mind on either because some of the episodes are either overhated or I have episodes that I personally and unironically or ironically like but I know everyone else hates like "Rusty to the Rescue" as an example with some episodes I don't think deserve to be looked upon fondly at all and still don't deserve it today):
- "The Trouble with Mud" (Season 3) - 5/10 [AVERAGE] - Three seasons in and this is the least faithful RWS adaptation.
- "The Old Bridge" (Season 7) - 8/10 [GREAT] - This episode is good, you actually hate this?
- "As Good as Gordon" (Season 8) - 2/10 [AWFUL].
- "Thomas and the Statue" (Season 9) - 9/10 [AMAZING] - A great way to celebrate 60 years than "Calling All Engines!"
- "Henry and the Flagpole" (Season 9) - 4/10 [MEDIOCRE] - There are actually worse Henry episodes than this.
- "Duncan and the Old Mine" (Season 9) - 10/10 [EXCELLENT].
- "Toby Feels Left Out" (Season 9) - 7/10 [GOOD] - I can't believe I was ever so mean to a Toby episode from Seasons 8-11 that was actually good. I'm sorry to everyone for not considering watching it again earlier when I was working on that video.
- "Thomas and the Toy Workshop" (Season 9) - 7/10 [GOOD].
- "Keeping Up with James" (Season 10) - 8/10 [GREAT].
- "Emily and the Special Coaches" (Season 10) - 7/10 [GOOD] - There's a lot more good to this one than I remembered.
- "Thomas Sets Sail" (Season 11) - 7/10 [GOOD] - Good casting of characters and good pacing, too. (PS, this episode has aged not as well as I thought).
- "Thomas and the Stinky Cheese" (Season 11) - 3/10 [BAD] - The cheese is melted, that's why it stank.
- "Sir Handel in Charge" (Season 11) - 5/10 [AVERAGE] - "The Green Controller", but it's mid.
- "Steady Eddie" (Season 12) - 1/10 [TERRIBLE] - I'm glad Edward never got another spotlight role in an episode until Season 14.
- "Charlie and Eddie" (Season 14) - 2/10 [AWFUL] - "Play Time" again, but worse.
- "Merry Misty Island" (Season 14) - 4/10 [MEDIOCRE] - A mediocre way to end of an awful season.
- "Wonky Whistle" (Season 15) - 2/10 [AWFUL] - Big shock that I reranked the worst Thomas episode ever written by Thomas fans.
- "Thomas Makes a Mistake" (Season 23) - 2/10 [AWFUL] - Thomas, this is the 7th time in a row you've learned how to ask your friends for help this week. (JK, it's actually the 11th time in a row he's learned this lesson lol).
- "Emily to the Rescue" (Season 24) - 7/10 [GOOD] - Some flaws with the episode here and there, but Emily deserved her Number 12.
- Both "Marvelous Machinery" episodes (Season 24) - 1/10 [TERRIBLE] - Still the worst arc in the series, but I don't think I needed to rank them this low from both a word and number out of ten standpoint.
And if I need to revise my Top 10 Worst Thomas Episode choices, here you go:
10. "Thomas Makes a Mistake"
9. "Henry's Magic Box"
8. "Apology Impossible"
7. "Fiery Flynn"
6. "Edward Strikes Out"
5. "Don't Go Back"
4. "The Way She Does It"
3. "Marvelous Machinery" (both episodes)
2. "Sodor Surprise Day" (ultimately replacing "Wonky Whistle", but unlike "Wonky Whistle" where a part of me at least can't help but call it so terrible, it's laughable, "Sodor Surprise Day" is the bigger sum up of everything wrong with the Nitrogen era)
1. "Push Me, Pull You!" - At this point, I hate this episode the most of all the infamous stinkers the show had during its long run.
(Dis)honorable Mentions: "Wonky Whistle" (the episode only sucks because I see the potential in it and that it at least does have an original premise), "Middle Engine", "Tram Trouble", "Thomas' Frosty Friend", "Kenji on the Rails Again", "Skarloey the Brave", "Thomas and the New Engine", "Emily's Adventure", and "Emily in the Middle".
The fact that it took six seasons to get an episode you didn't like is a testament to the classic era's quality. I'll miss this beautiful show, but at least we'll always have what we got...for better and for worse.
Sometimes I wish the crew had the budget to finish ,,The Flying Scotsman".

I for the most part agree with your HiT Era scores. That's personally the one I grew up with so I have a nostalgia tinted view of them. I think seasons 8 and 11 are great and "James the Second Best" is my favorite James story in HiT.
Mine too. The scene where James crashes into the poster is really funny.
20:25 I like to believe Freddie was a Mid Sodor engine. Which would kinda explain how Sir Handel knew who he was
Whenever TRXN talks about HIS inspiration/love for the Gordon Station Joke, he always cites WTLNetwork - they were using that joke a ton like 9+ years ago.
Also, great vid. Lot of work and dedication.
Also, to be fair, I also got started on all this with TRXN, outside of growing up on the live-action show.

Newscaster: Tonight, on Sodor News - Wilbert Awdry, the creator of Thomas the Tank Engine, is successfully resurrected over 20 years since his death. Our reporter is with him now.
Wilbert: Does the TV series still make Henry a stupid tree lover?
Reporter: No, he's now a complete coward. The latest episode has him afraid of a snowman.
Wilbert: Good Night! (flatlines)

23:37 You have no idea how happy I am to know that you also watch Caddicarus
Actually, I watched some of Caddicarus' videos before. I have not seen all of them, but I do understand what you mean, tbf.
Appreciate the love you gave the HIT era. Although I think Percy and the Carnival, as well The Magic Lamp is a pretty good episode.
35:29 Good opinion, it kills me every time with that Toy Story line. Hilarious!!

20:35 "Breakdown cranes don't even move by themselves, YOU BRAINLESS IDIOTS!!"
First Harvey, now Rocky. No wonder many called this episode one of the worst (if not THE worst) of the HIT era. Character assassination to a tee.
Also thought that "technical difficulties" screen was hilarious.
The Unlucky Tug: What do you have against cranes Edward?
Actually, I got an even better drinking game. Take a shot every time Brice _repeats_ a joke.
Or every time a thomas fan says fuck or loses their gourd. I'd be rich for every time ive seen (or heard) that
If only The Missing Coach made it through production development
Im more impressed this guy actually watched every single episode of the show than anything
Happy Birthday, Sir! rated better than Coal and Flying Kipper will always be a sin in my eyes.
but this video was fun to watch otherwise! Keep up the great work!
8:48 Don’t forget that Sesame Street also did that with Hero Guy and Elmo’s World too.
35:42 I can hardly see anything wrong with that episode, aside from Daisy dismissing her passengers and the parcel wagon.
8:49 the episode which you can say foreshadowed Season 12 and no one saw it coming
18:35 That was actually eleven words.
11:19, Yes I get the reference because not only I'm a huge Thomas fan but I'm also a MEGA fan of Ghostbusters. Especially the Original 1984 Film since it is one of my favorite movies of all time and the theme song is actually my number 1 favorite song of all time.

35:20 here's Jonnhy reference
26:09 WHY DO YOU CALL EVERYTHING YOU SEE AS MR, THOMAS?!
34:17 Alright man, take it easy.... I can tell that you really seem to like sheep.🤣
And 35:20 is absolutely comedy gold!
When you said Samson hasn’t learned his lesson, I was like he’s turning into Percy
I also hated a shed for Edward and shed for Henry. I think that’s what the episodes called two of the cast just gone replace with someone that doesn’t even speak their language LOL and someone that says. Hiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaa Everyone should just be kicked out herself.
I also wish they did continue the CGI like it would’ve been cool to have a 25th season like they could’ve been like a really good connection. If Arthur came back he could’ve pulled good trains with Henry or Charlie and Billy could’ve just been making jokes all day and they could’ve been like a big race between Gordon Scotsman Connor Caitlin Spencer and it would’ve been cool to see Sam, come back to Sodor maybe with a Murdoch Molly could’ve been good to come back. I really miss Molly. She was one of my favourites.
I really like that episode where Percy gets called dirty Percy. Don’t call me dirty Percy I said Percy and he steamed away.

Will you please stop commenting more than once?
7:01 wasn't it Gordon, Henry and James' quacking?
Yes, but I was talking about how Carlin made the quacking voices he played for the three big engines.
I have a question, if The Missing Coach, Gordon Goes Foreign, Bossy Byron, Alfie has a Secret, Treasure Hunt, All Work, No Play, The Grass is Greener, Jack and the Quack, The Importance of being Patrick, Isobella Gets Steamed, Kelly's Heroes, Pop Goes the Diesel (Jack and the Pack), Jack's Snow Rescue, Safety First and No Dozer is an Island weren't cancelled, then how would you rank them on a scale of 0-10?

Oooh, do I spy my episode ratings list right there?
Yes Johnathan. I wanted to show everyone that ratings list following the officially REAL production order for Season 24. It's a reminder for them to not be fooled by the fact that "Thomas' Animal Friends" is not the last episode produced.
Sure, it aired last in the UK, Australia, and came out Netflix in the US, but that could be blamed on Mattel and/or Milkshake for screwing up by not following the actual production order.
I dare you all to take a shot for everytime he gives an episode a 10/10
I'm going to go do that now
24:31 “ooooohhh boringness and character derailment are a very bad mix!”
Gentlemen we got him, the one guy who likes BWBA
I have yet to revisit the movie made for it, but I do find some enjoyment with S22 and S23, but S24 wasn't all that great. It may have had a great 75th anniversary/series finale special, it may have toned down the fantasy sequences, and it may have ended Emily's long arc on the show on a decent note. But rather do I find that season lackluster compared to the other two in my opinion.
Oh, I should have said this sooner. But there are some Thomas fans that are not indifferent on the BWBA era and I know a couple of them.
Man, what a video! I love it.
this video feels like an unlucky tug video
24:03 PRR 1361: *heh ya boi*
25:35 yes this episode is trash but the Appearance of 4501's whistle is nice

Don’t get offended if you see an episode you hate in my favorite section/like in my hated section. These are all my opinions. I can handle all of your opinions.
Edited: 10/17/22: Three Steam Engines Gruff is my new least favorite Season 20 episode. While Diesel and the Ducklings was weird to see the diesels be “softies” when ducklings are in their presence, at least it didn’t have any character written as an idiot per se.
And I got rid of the ties in my least favorite episodes of Seasons 14 and 16 because too many ties feels like bending the rules honestly.
And What’s the Matter with Henry is my new least favorite season 7 episode instead of the Old Bridge. Because at least Skarloey DID have a reason to be afraid. That bridge doesn’t really look sturdy.
Not trying to have a different opinion here or anything but why does everyone hate Don't Go Back so much
@@MrTrackmaster I can try to explain to you.
You see, it’s basically saying “It’s okay to race backwards in a dangerous place of work.” Which is not really a good thing.
Also why didn’t STH blame Diesel for also pushing ‘Arry and Bert through the sheds?
Also I do have some ties for some seasons and if you want I can give a little reason why I like my favorite episodes/hate my least favorite episodes.
@@jpbrennan4904 👍

It started perfectly and ended perfectly!
34:23
Actually Hiro is the train Henry crashes into at the start of Journey Beyond Sodor which would technically be a crash he was in
17:22 THE NOSTALGIA DUDE :)
I definitely agree with you about Middle Engine. That's my least favorite episode of the entire series because Percy gets in trouble instead of Henry.
19:12 Sir Topham Hatt: I never said it was, did I?
Salty: argh I would have noticed if you did meharty
I pretty much regret not trying with "Henry and the Flagpole".
I love how you used Missoliverandblossom/DaWillStanior’s voice. I also love his two channels and how he helped Trainlover476/Joey Turner.
24:31: that was PERFECT! LOL
11:20 is my best episode.
37:05 is my worst episode.
Edit: Changing the time stamp for my worst episode, in case people think I’m talking about Dowager Hatt’s Busy Day.
Two words, Thank you! I will be commenting more when i have the time. i hope TH-cam doesen't turn off the comments
Just in case this video gets marked for kids, I will either reupload the video with a disclaimer before the video starts or that I will make a comments post where everyone is welcome to repost their comments.
Took until 13:00 to have a bad episode.
I like that episode...
13:38 Oh cool, it gets worse!
15:27 Wow, the Classic Era had very few misses.
And those misses are quite rare, to be frank.
This video camed out 1 year ago since the animated Marmaduke Netflix movie.
20:11 first time I saw this video, I did not expect the Animaniacs to show up 😂
42:08 pinky elmyra and the brain reference I see 😂
I think The episode "Respect For Gordon" is just a rewrite of the episode "James In A Mess" which is really a great, but also very lazy for the Hit Era to not notice that the original version and their copy are exactly the same, but with a different engine, but same messy Accident, crushing oil tankers/tar wagons/ and yes to rail tankers filled with strawberry jam, and so-fourth, because it's happened in the CGI series, too but see for yourselves, but it's true that the CGI version of the series has been rewriting the classic railway series in a different way.
I'm Skye and I'll see Y'all Later.
I think season 12 is a part of model era.
It's actually both TBH.
@@BriceInkling138 and it's the only hybrid season in the show
34:25
Alternate description: "Team Fortress Two: Thomas the Tank Engine Edition"
How?
@@BriceInkling138 Red vs. Blu
@@jigsaw9504 Considering the fact I play Team Fortress 2, it truly makes a lot of sense.
23:06 I like this episode, but I’m pretty biased towards it because I myself have a phobia of thunder and lightning because of how sudden the flashes and noises are.
I would like it if it wasn’t Skarloey who scared because he’s the oldest engine he should’ve been in this situation more than other engines at this point I really hate how hit entertainment ruin the characters
,,Edward ' Exploit " is my favorite episode.

How would you describe Thomas the tank engine and friends as a whole in 10 words or less?
That is a good question. But I am not even sure how to really describe the show in 10 words or less.
@@BriceInkling138 I would describe it as “It’s more than a kids show, it’s a legacy”
@@tudorbrancuturcu5996 I think I can call this show "a work of railway/railroad art" if you prefer that.
@@BriceInkling138 Yes. True!!!
32:53 Not to be nitpicky but don't you mean "foreshadow"?
I looked on Wiktionary on the word "preshadow" and it also means the same thing as "foreshadow".
@@BriceInkling138 Okay, that makes sense.

12:21 And September 18th, 2012 is when Ask Cranky Day started.
This was a great vid and you clearly put a lot of effort into this but in my opinion it wasn’t really that witty like your inspiration, but some of the jokes really did land my favorite joke was definitely 19:09. Gooooouuuuda cheeeeeese
34:40 Actually there are three of them because Farmer Trotter named one his piglets after Thomas.
Well, you see? Here's the thing. "Thomas the Babysitter" came out before "Banjo and the Bushfire". Farmer Trotter named one of his piglets Thomas (like you said; of course), the baby's parents named their child after the blue tank engine, and finally, Ranger Jill names the baby crocodile Thomas after Thomas helped out the animals in an act of bravery to get all of them out of a forest fire in Australia. Therefore, "Thomas the Babysitter" was actually made before "Banjo and the Bushfire". I hope you understand this.
@@BriceInkling138 I understand. Was just pointing it out.

Why Do you like the episode splish splash splosh? that episode is awful
I just love it because of nostalgia. Plus there are a few things I laughed at in it.
@@thecartoonmanist956 nostalgia doesn't always equal good also splish splash splosh felt like a chore to watch, What few thing did you laugh at in it
@@liam4367 The same thing could be said about Jumping Jobi Wood, Emily and Dash, and Steam Team To The Rescue.
I’ll just give a small reason as to why I just hate these episodes.
I hate JJW because of the Edward torture with the logs.
I hate EaD because of its unrealism with the bird whistling. (But I do kind of like Gordon and Ferdinand and Toby and Bash.)
And I hate STTTR because it’s just a mess. Why in God’s name did they not give Edward, Henry, Toby, or all the other minor character more roles in this! Or where the hell is Timothy?! Remember when he helped out at the docks in No Help At All? We’ll why couldn’t they just use him again. And also (please excuse my raging.) HOW IN THE F(beep) DID SALTY SURVIVE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA UNTIL MORNING?! I’m shocked he was still alive!
Sorry, I got a little heated there. Just had to say a little reason why I dislike those episode. I mean a lot of people don’t like these episodes too and I understand that.
I absolutely hated Henry’s Magic Box
Yeah, I respect your opinion. Thomas gets it right is annoying.
But also laughable because of Thomas' whining and moping. No matter how ridiculous it is.
Can you please remind me again why you put season 12 in the miller era when it still used models?
The ways shots were composed changed drastically in series 12 in my opinion. This is the series where we started to see an overabundance of face shots, now that they were animated, rather than the more artistic, limited-scope angles from previous series. Something about Series 12's visuals simply lack the charm of previous series, sure it's got the models, the crashes, and the narrator voicing the characters, but the charming little villagers are all animated in CGI (boo), and the expressive face plates are animated over with these lifeless uncanny models (honestly, James is the only one that looks good). And of course, this is where Sharon Miller fittingly started writing a lot more episodes. (Not to mention the IMDb ratings plummet from 6/10s to 2/10s when going from Series 11 to Series 12 lmao)
@@Q1_Enjoyer wow. Thank you for answering my question
@@angelobates601 it’s basically a blend between both the Hit Era and Sharon Miller Era. It has Models and CGI, still borrows locations like Greatwaterton, and is really when the episodes start to get really awful, like 24:31 & 24:49
Given that Season 12 was the first season to have Sharon Miller as the head writer, I had to include it despite also being a season from the HiT model era as well.

It's not great it's a master piece of a franchise 42:49
I really liked this review, just felt really witty, though I disagreed with a lot of what you said on BWBA
To be fair, I do not think Season 24 is a good season at all. As a finale season, it's kind of bad compared to 22 and 23. While there are a handful of good episodes and it had a great series finale/75th anniversary special episode, it's that season I did not have much of a liking of looking back. It did not live up to my original likings for that season when I rewatched the season. If anything in all honesty, I'd rather have that era over an era of the following listed things:
- Annoying and cringey rhyming and alliteration.
- The narrator not shutting up after every time a character speaks for one minute.
- The nonsensical elements being more used for plot point sake than realism or ACTUAL logic.
- The engines' crews acting like mindless morons and incompetent imbeciles just like the engines (most notably if you think about Thomas' crew constantly putting up with Thomas' stupid decisions 24/7).
- Lack of care for most of the presently recurring or newer characters introduced from that era (sure that was a problem done before with Season 9, but if were talking about ones prior to the CGI switchover like Donald, Douglas, Oliver, Toad, Bill, Ben, Arthur, Mighty Mac, etc. You can tell no one else felt like they were caring at that point).
- Constant usage of three strikes, stupidity and lack of common logic. That was taken way too far with Season 15.
- Bastardized or unlikable characters like Thomas, Henry, Emily, the Logging Locos, and Charlie.
- Two unfunny episodes writing firefighters as incompetent idiots who can't do anything right.
- Neglecting continuity in some of the episodes from either season like "Toby's New Whistle".
- Stupid stories (like "Sodor Surprise Day", "Wonky Whistle", "Surprise, Surprise!", "Tree Trouble", "James to the Rescue", etc.)
And also a soft reboot from 2021 that I refuse to even go on a full on lengthy long-ass rant about for one hundred minutes without even cringing once or showing my disgust for it due to the incompetence of Mattel's executives.
Mainly because I still have respect for the same team who worked on S17-21 such as Andrew Brenner (even though he left after S23), David Stoten, Tim Bain (yes, they got an Australian writer to write a few episodes for this show), Davey Moore, Whitehousefilms, and everyone else's efforts for at least trying their very best despite Mattel's crazy restrains and that there are also a handful of gems or episodes I personally like such as "Wish You Were Here", "Thomas' Animal Ark", "Thomas' Fuzzy Friend", "Seeing is Believing", "School of Duck", "Free the Roads", "Gordon and Rebecca Coming Through", "Yong Bao and the Tiger", "Tiger Trouble", "Kangaroo Christmas", "An Engine of Many Colors", "The Great Little Railway Show" (my favorite episode from that era), "Hunt the Truck", "James the Super Engine", the Pack episodes (except for "First Day on Sodor"), "Ranger on the Rails", "What Rebecca Does", "Lorenzo's Solo", the "Digs and Discoveries" arc, and "Thomas and the Royal Engine".
While Seasons 12-16 had some good episodes like "Happy Birthday, Sir!", "Welcome Stafford", "Edward the Hero" (to a lesser extent), "The Biggest Surprise of All", "Heave Ho Thomas", "Best Friends", "Snow Tracks", etc. There are so much bad episodes with some having such bizarre stupid shit that I just do not care at all. I have liked that era as a kid, but looking back on it as an adult, it's no longer lived up to my original opinions on that era as a child from 9-12 years of age.
@@BriceInkling138 yeah I get where your coming from, but the reason I disagreed is not because of what it doesn't do. It's what it does, and if it does it well. I do like that it doesn't include all of what you have listed, I'm not judging by what it isn't doing, and, what it does do is very little and poorly executed, making my rs king of it lower and my opinions different, if any of this makes sense
@@jaymesthededengine5237 Well, it is understandable.
37:04 I like that episode...
It's his personal opinión man
@@charlenechaconsolis2030 And i was stating mine while also not putting down his thoughts on the episode.
People have differing opinions which i'm perfectly fine with.
what do you think of the upcoming Marc Forster Thomas movie?
Although I am quite excited they were going for this movie. But I can't completely judge my thoughts on it yet. If they give out a specific plot synopsis on what it's all about, a release date to when it comes out on cinemas, show us some more of Sodor's lore, and follow on Thomas through the said plot that does not exist yet, I would give out my own thoughts and then go watch it.
Yes!!!
I will definitely will see it whenever that I had the time to do so
Edward the really useful engine reminds me of super rescue
Any similarities between the two?
You did pretty great on your favorite and least favorite episodes from season 1 to season 24 it is still a pretty good series and pretty great for different eras of the show and even the characters the creators live action model animation or CGI and everything else and if I have to choose my favorite season or at least my favorite era it would clearly be the Andrew Brenner era and Big World Big Adventures overall pretty good and pretty great and nice on the music video that you did Thomas the Tank Engine will still be in our hearts and still will to this day.
And all engines go itself, I have seen episodes from season one and one of them are either hit-and-miss the new characters of Kana and Sandy are alright although I do wish that they could have give them introduction episodes but hey at least that I literally checked over a TH-cam user named Railfan#1 who literally done introductory stories on the two respective characters and I literally been catching up on season 2 one of the episodes are either decent average or just completely bad like the paint problem and literally been catching up with those new episodes whenever they get released on cartoonito and I literally sometimes do thoughts on them on my TH-cam Community page or just thought to myself about them and I might either give up on the show or just watch the new episodes on Wednesdays or Thursdays whenever I feel like it overall pretty good on the Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends series.
19:33 actully it was Ben who had that solo role, easy mistake
And for some reason he has it again in season 12 instead of Bill
Everbody have mistakes
Even thomas in a amount of bad episodes
I know that
@@toby.fan9198 38:44 what wrong with a thomas shipper?
Bro did you do the “hello Thomas” on Thomas and Gordon or was that edited in? I can’t tell
