Shining Time Station is a Canadian kids show that aired on TVO. The show is about a train station on the Indian Valley Railroad in the unknown part of the USA. The station is owned by Stacy Jones and Harry Cupper (or in Season 2 onward, Billy Twofeathers). Schemer runs the arcade section. The show introduced Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.
Why it Rocks?[]
- Thomas stories are fun.
- The jukebox band.
- Great cast members.
- When Season 2 came, The shows ending credits will have a sign reading YOU'RE LEAVING SHINING TIME STATION! COME BACK SOON!
- It not only aired in North America, but it was also exported to New Zealand. Because of this, volumes 7-9 of Thomas on VHS in said country are narrated by George Carlin.
Bad Qualities[]
- It is a bit dated in places, especially by today's standards.
- The Thomas stories were ofttimes presented out of chronological order, particularly in the second and third seasons.
