This tells you way too much about how sad my life is
You guys! You guys!
The Thomas characters are ANIMATED today! Their mouths are moving . . . Thomas just welcomed me to the island of Sodor . . . Gordon has facial expressions . . . he’s talking to me . . . Thomas has more than three faces (Smiling Thomas, “Oh No!” Thomas, and frowning Thomas) . . . Sir Topham Hatt is no longer immobile!!!
Consider my world rocked.
And these are the things that I miss by going to work!
It’s ok, hon. I switched it to “Keep until I delete” on the tivo, so it’s ours forever. And Sam and I have only watched it three times so far so we’ll have a lot more in us by the time you get home.
are you kidding?
this is very important news!
i will NOW allow my son to watch Thomas, because before…it was seriously like watching paint dry…insanely boring.
This is a BIG DEAL!

Hmm, I had no idea. It’s gotta be an improvement from the unanimated Thomas. How can kids watch that show? It’s sooooo boring. My son loves Thomas trains too and is now actually reciting scenes from his dvds while he plays with his Thomas train set. Santa’s going to be bringing the train table this year so we can expand our Thomas collection. Lord help me.
suddenly I am a bit teary eyed that we are long sense out of the Thomas era…
It’s probably a good thing I had girls because Thomas just bugs me. I know. Blasphemy! Miss A likes it though.
The best are the episodes narrated by Ringo Starr and George Carlin. They follow the original stories closely (we read the entire collection to the boys a few years ago every night before bed) and don’t have all the goofy business with rockets and carnivals. Just stories of how James became blue and cheering up glum traction engines.
Still cheeky, but old school.
