Finally respect for Middle Engine. I think the reason other people hate it is because they overthink it. In reality it's just a fun, goody episode. James refusing to move and covering himself with steam is hilarious, and Percy despite hsving sone nothing wrong gets a nice redemption anyway when he takes James' train. And when he just replies with "Learning.", it's just great.
Honestly, I LOVE hearing a perspective on the HIT era that isn't just, "It's bad" or "Not like the classics". I mean, it's definitely not GREAT. But it's nice to see someone ACTIVELY bring up their favorite episodes from that period, rather than what feels like a back-handed compliment!
Season 1: The Flying Kipper Season 2: Old Iron Season 3: Escape Season 4: Bowled Out Season 5: Stepney Gets Lost Season 6: Salty’s Secret Season 7: Peace and Quiet Season 8: Emily’s New Route Season 9: Bold and Brave Season 10: Missing Trucks Season 11: Emily and the Garbage Season 12: Gordon Takes A Shortcut
This was a really fun video to watch. I found myself agreeing with a lot of the episodes that you chose. I personally think there is a difference between something that's the best and somethings that's your favorite, but that doesnt really matter. A lot of the episode you picked i had never really thought about that much before and you provided a great new perspektiv to some like Thomas in trouble. This was a really great video to watch and i wonder if you will ever consider doing the CGI series
I feel as if saying an episode is the “best” is inherently a subjective statement on its own. There’s been countless videos explaining and breaking down the “Objectively Best” episodes of the series, so I thought a new take on it would be a good shake up.
season 1: dirty objects season 2: the diseaseal season 3: all at sea season 4: fish season 5: duncan gets spooked season 6: the fog man season 7: something fishy season 8: james gets a new coat season 9: keeping up with james season 10: james the second best season 11: dirty work season 12: james works it out
Busy Going Backwards is my favorite episode of the show, hands down no question! I adore the William Tell Overture music mixed with the main runaway theme! Also, I like to imagine the human equivalent of an engine hiding themselves in steam is putting on a hoodies and pulling on the strings so your hood covers your face, apologies if that's dumb XD
My favorite episode from each model season: Season 1 - the flying kipper Season 2 - edward's exploit Season 3 - escape Season 4 - speacial funnel Season 5 - toby and the flood Season 6 - toby had a little lamb Season 7 - emily's new coach Season 8 - emily's new route Season 9 - might mac Season 10 - it's good to be gordon Season 11 - hector the horrid Season 12 - james works it out
Ngl Thomas in trouble through me off not because it’s a bad episode but because I don’t see people speaking highly or negatively about the episode, makes me want to rewatch both that episode and Toby & the stout gentleman to get a better insight.
YES, HIT ERA JUSTICE, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS Btw here are my favorites Season 1 - Thomas, Terence and the Snow / Terence the Tractor Season 2 - Dirty Work / Diesel's Devious (Devilish) Deed Season 3 - Thomas, Percy and the Post (Mail) Train Season 4 - Thomas and the Special Letter Season 5 - James and the Trouble with Trees Season 6 - Twin Trouble Season 7 - Not So Hasty Puddings (Cakes) / Thomas and the Avalanche Season 8 - Fish Season 9 - Thomas and the New Engine Season 10 - The Green Controller Season 11 - Cool Truckings Season 12 - Heave Ho Thomas!
Yo, busy going backwards was amazing!!!!!! It’s my personal favorite for season 5 also!!! But then you said middle engine was your runner up for season 6.
1. Edward Gordon and Henry. 2. A close shave. 3. Trust Thomas. 4. Thomas and the special letter. 5.Baa 6. Thomas and the jet engine. 7. Best dressed engine. 8. Thomas and the circus 9. Thomas and the birthday picnic. 10. Thomas and Skarloey’s big day out 11. smoke and mirrors 12. Thomas and the billboard.
Video idea: rating the narrators throughout the Thomas series in a tier list. George Carlin is my personal favorite. The man had a dream for years to be a TV/ Movie star, only to acheive it and found he hated it. Narrating Thomas was the exception. He said he appreciated how the series didn't seem to talk down to its audience. I also appreciate how he added to the series by changing his voice's cadence to further make each engine unique, highlighting their different personalities.

Honestly, someone shining a positive light on the HiT Era made me genuinely smile. It’s always “It plays too much down to baby’s with how much the characters were dumbed down” and “It’s not the classic series so it’s bad, EW SEASON 12 EWW1!1!1!1”. There’s rarely anyone who talks about the positive side to the HiT Era (apart from talking about S11 and TGD), when there are obviously so many people who grew up with that era of Thomas. It definitely wasn’t my Thomas when I grew up, but I did and STILL own a lot of HiT DVD’s that I absolutely loved as a child. I’m sorry if I’m rambling lmfao, but it’s just really made me happy that there are people out there who love the era as much as I do! (Great list by the way! 💙)

I remember season 12 Fondly back when I was very little because I had that one DVD Featuring like Hank, Flora and the new guys. Yes season 12 is terrible we all know that That is unique For what it did Like the whole model and CGI thing. Actually kind of like the Hank episode, Yes it has the 3 strikes formula thing But I kinda like how Thomas is kinda like himself because he's like scoffing off somebody's help but he overestimated himself and fails at it. But at least he's trying to prove it. But I definitely agree with your pic. I really enjoy that Hector and James episode a very unlikely dual. James treats Hector like an object But Hector is the one that actually had a good which executed greatly on the outcome. Hector is such a forgotten character. And he's a truck out of everything!

The equivalent of a human weeshing steam is I always thought … yes it may be nasty but it’s my goofy kid head is a human fart 😂 … don’t judge ! But I mean an engine weesh Ed at another and it’s considered a form of insult … And when a human farts around another someone gunna say it nasty … You see where I’m going with this or nah ! It maybe nasty … but kinda true !
A lot of these are hot takes. Old Iron is a top 3 episode from its season, but in terms of fan popularity, most of the others aren't even in the top 5 for their respective season. Your opinions are well justified, and I think this is a great list. A perfect example of how amazing this show is. So many episodes can be argued as great from many perspectives. Well done. Middle Engine is terrible, fight me
For me it’s S1: The Flying Kipper S2: Ghost Train S3: Henry’s Forest S4: Special Funnel S5: Rusty and the Boulder S6: Toby Had a Little Lamb S7: Snow Engine S8: Squeak Rattle and Roll S9: Respect for Gordon S10: James the Second Best S11: Hector the Horrid S12: Gordon takes a Shortcut

11:42 what the hell are you talking about? There are some absolutely terrible episodes in this season Okay I think I have a new term for this sort of person “HiT era mortar” A sort of person who defends this era no matter how terrible it actually is because of a few good episodes and nostalgia
season 1: thomas and the guard seaosn 2: better late than never season 3: henrys forest season 4: grandpuff season 5: happily ever after season 6: percy and the haunted mine season 7: bad day at castle loch season 8: edward the great season 9: the magic lamp season 10: thomas's day off season 11: hector the horrid season 12: tram trouble

Season 1: Edward helps out, a big day for Thomas, trouble for Thomas, Thomas saves the day, foolish freight cars, Terence the tractor, Thomas and Bertie’s great race, trouble in the shed, Thomas breaks the rules, down the mine, Thomas’ Christmas party Season 2: Bertie’s chase, saved from scrap, old iron, a new friend for Thomas, Donald and Douglas, Percy’s ghostly trick, Thomas and the missing Christmas tree Season 3: Percy’s promise, Thomas gets bumped, Thomas Percy and the dragon, the trouble with mud, Thomas Percy and the mail train, Mavis, James goes buzz buzz, all at sea, Thomas and Percy’s mountain adventure Season 4: you can’t win, four little engines (from the video only release), trucks, home at last, rock n roll, special funnel, steamroller, passenger and polish, gallant old engine, Thomas and Stepney, train stops play (from the video only release), bowled out, Henry and the elephant, toad stands by, bull’s eyes (from the video only release), Thomas and the special letter, Thomas meets the queen, fish, special attraction, mind that bike (from the video only release) Season 5: basically all twenty-six episodes, but I would pick cranky bugs, horrid lorry, James and the trouble with trees, double teething troubles, Sir Topham Hatt’s holiday, make someone happy, busy going backwards, Rusty and the Boulder Season 6: Salty’s secret, Harvey to the rescue, no sleep for cranky, a bad day for Harold, Elizabeth the vintage quarry truck, the fogman, Thomas and the jet engine Season 7: Emily’s new coaches, spotless record, Salty’s stormy tale, something fishy, peace and quiet, Bulgy rides again, Gordon and Spencer Season 8: Thomas and the circus, James goes too far, chickens to school, too hot for Thomas Season 9: mighty Mac, Molly’s special special, Thomas’ day off Season 10: Thomas and the jet plane, fearless Freddie, Thomas and the birthday mail Season 11: Emily and the garbage, Hector the horrid, cool truckings, wash behind your buffers Season 12: Rosie’s carnival special, heave ho Thomas, James works it out, tram trouble Those are the ones that I mainly like and are my favourite due to keeping the us DVD releases, Thomas meets the queen (video), Salty’s secret, Thomas’ trackside tunes, make someone happy, spills and chills, gallant old engine/Henry and the elephant (both video and DVD), cranky bugs (both video and DVD), Thomas’ Christmas wonderland (mainly watch four of the episodes followed by the song), races rescues and runaways, Thomas and the special letter, 10 years of Thomas (both video and DVD), best of Thomas (both video and DVD) and Thomas and his friends help out (both video and DVD). While also counting another funny episode in season 6 followed by episodes of the characters that were new in season 7, some of the new characters that only had one role during the hit era episodes, and also season 8 where Thomas is pulling something and an out of character episode of James, which I don’t really care much about, but decided to pick for my favourites from seasons 7 to 12. Also because I mainly like that RUclips series, Thomaswoodenrailway most of the time just because you get to see the one episode characters and railway series only characters too, while also liking the railway series books by Rev. W Awdry and Christopher Awdry, the story library ones too and of course the wooden railway trains of them all, up to Frieda, Gina, Vinnie, Ashima, Yong Bao (fully coloured wood train) and Hugo along with the old style diesel 199 in for bear, a take n play Rex, ertls of Jock and the mail van and capsule plarails of Merrick and Owen.
My favourite episodes from the model era season 1 to 12 Season 1 flying kipper Season 2 Edward exploit Season 3 herny forest Season 4 paint pots and queens Season 5 a better view for gordon Season 6 Thomas and the jet engine Season 7 three cheers for Thomas Jatp Thomas trusty friends Season 8 Thomas to the rescue Season 9 respect for gordon Season 10 Thomas and the treasure Season 11 hector the horrid Season 12 heave ho Thomas
Season 1: Thomas and the train Season 2: I guess episodes involved Edward Season 3: escape Season 4: Thomas and special letter Season 5: Rusty and the boulder Season 6: Thomas jet engine or scaredy engine Season 7: Gordon and Spencer Season 8: again it's so hard to choose there's so many good episodes (personally at least) you can do it toby Season 9: mighty Mac Season 10: for the record I really don't like season 10 because it's basically the first downfall Thomas go watch The unlucky tug and usual bloke Luke video on it I'll say it's good to be Gordon Season 11: Hector the horrid and dream on Season 12: obviously James works it out
Season 1 down the mine or troublesome trucks or Thomas and trence and the snow Season 2 Edward exploit Percy takes the plunge or break van Season 3 escape or trouble with mud Season 4 special funnel Season 5 James and the trouble with trees or Toby discovery Season 6 Toby had a little lamb Season 7 Emily new coaches Season 8 Thomas to the rescue Season 9 Duncan and the old mine or respect for Gordon or Percy and the oil painting or Thomas and the statue season 10 it's good to be Gordon Season 11 dream on
8:31 Ig trying to hide your face with your hands? And tbh I did like a few of these season 6 episodes as a kid that everyone else hated such as Buffer Bother
Already commented once, but there's just so much to say. The HiT era is underrated, this video proves how many good episodes there really are, all overlooked by majority of fans, and those convenient one off locations may be annoying but I hsve to agree, it doesn't matter, they look so cool (except that one station which obly appears in James the Second Best, good episode though).
I may have favorites from 1-11, but I won't say any for seasons 1 to 7 because when I was a child, I remember watching the hit era season and I love them as much as you do, if not more. I enjoy listening to your thoughts and points in season 1-6, season 7 is mediocre at best without negativity, but I really love what you think of seasons 8, 9, 10, & 11. I really love all episodes on the hit era and listening to you say your favorites really makes me think and love that era even more. Also, while you have 'mixed' thoughts on season 12, James gets it right is actually my favorite episode of the series, followed up by Rosie's funfair special, Duncan and the hot air balloon, and The party surprise, whether or not you are reluctant to agree or just not care to the point you just can't think to care to say other wise. Regardless, it's really wonderful to hear someone talk about how they see how the hit era is there favorite out of all others.
The CGI era is nice and has some great episodes, but the part of the whole show I'll always have a place in my heart fondly will always be seasons 8, 9, 10, and 11. I love what you've said and think on each season, and your favorite episode from each season.
Series 1: The Flying Kipper (followed by Dirty objects and Thomas and the Trucks) 2: Edward's Exploit (followed by Ghost Train and Old Iron) 3: All At Sea (followed by Escape and Donald's Duck) 4: You Can't Win (followed by Sleeping Beauty and Bulldog) 5: Rusty and the Boulder (followed by Put Upon Percy and Duncan Gets Spooked) 6: Salty’s Secret (followed by Edward the Very Useful Engine because its like Super Rescue, and Worlds Strongest Engine) 7: Gordon and Spencer (followed by Three Cheers for Thomas and Bill, Ben, and Fergus) 8: ... 9: Respect for Gordon 10: Its Good to be Gordon 11: the transition sequences... 12: the transition sequences... Yeah, I HATE Hitt era writing and visuals except for the few good Gordon episodes and despite growing up with it, I have no nostalgia for the era (unlike Series 1-5 which I always have loved). The new music also lowered my opinion of series 7 until I found the better version. At least the models were still there, which was gone by 13 (I stopped watching soon after being filled with false hope by Hero of the Rails, seeing a couple new episodes and then not being able to watch misty island rescue). I did see the episodes of the Brenner era that people liked and it was ok, but nothing after Series 5 is nearly as memorable
You’re wrong on both accounts lol. I was talking about “Thomas and friends” not the railway series. The show is 40 years old. And the Railway series is 80 years old
18:38Thomas and the lighthouse seriously and series 11 being the best season ever for some reason I'm not saying that you're wrong but I don't agree with that Thomas and the lighthouse is just boring episode and I respectfully disagree with you 17:42 here because almost all of episodes are just mediocre to shit hide and peep Thomas and the runaway car trash Ding-A-Ling trash I don't get me wrong there's some good episodes like dream on Hector the horrid Emily in the garbage wash behind your buffers etc but most of these episodes are the goddamn same they use almost all the three strikes you're out formula episode 18:2017:37 I really don't think series 11 is that good it's my second least favorite hit era season and the set design are just the same and I hate how they often do using the same the same angle over and over again hit is really lazy and the yellow tint doesn't help either it looks especially bad like Thomas and sticky cheese Toby's episode an Henry's lucky day more power to you if you enjoy series 11 but for me season 11 it's just painfully average it's better than season 10 but still not that good the Great Discovery was a much better send off to the model era
Finally respect for Middle Engine. I think the reason other people hate it is because they overthink it. In reality it's just a fun, goody episode. James refusing to move and covering himself with steam is hilarious, and Percy despite hsving sone nothing wrong gets a nice redemption anyway when he takes James' train. And when he just replies with "Learning.", it's just great.
8:32 the human equivalent would probably be like putting your hoodie up so nobody recognizes your face
I'd say the human equivalent is covering your face with your hair
Honestly, I LOVE hearing a perspective on the HIT era that isn't just, "It's bad" or "Not like the classics".
I mean, it's definitely not GREAT.
But it's nice to see someone ACTIVELY bring up their favorite episodes from that period, rather than what feels like a back-handed compliment!

This was a really fun video to watch. I found myself agreeing with a lot of the episodes that you chose. I personally think there is a difference between something that's the best and somethings that's your favorite, but that doesnt really matter. A lot of the episode you picked i had never really thought about that much before and you provided a great new perspektiv to some like Thomas in trouble. This was a really great video to watch and i wonder if you will ever consider doing the CGI series
I feel as if saying an episode is the “best” is inherently a subjective statement on its own. There’s been countless videos explaining and breaking down the “Objectively Best” episodes of the series, so I thought a new take on it would be a good shake up.

Nah, what we really need next are justice for the next generation of fans that are as nostalgic for BWBA as you and I are for the HiT era.
@@joshuaW5621Tbh, I really don’t hate BWBA, the international episodes are kinda boring but most of the Sodor episodes I genuinely enjoyed
Yo, busy going backwards was amazing!!!!!! It’s my personal favorite for season 5 also!!!
But then you said middle engine was your runner up for season 6.
16:30 don’t have a dig at us, we’ve lived through each era, unlike most🙂↕️

Video idea: rating the narrators throughout the Thomas series in a tier list.
George Carlin is my personal favorite. The man had a dream for years to be a TV/ Movie star, only to acheive it and found he hated it.
Narrating Thomas was the exception. He said he appreciated how the series didn't seem to talk down to its audience. I also appreciate how he added to the series by changing his voice's cadence to further make each engine unique, highlighting their different personalities.
Bro sabías que Britt allcroft la creadora de Thomas y sus amigos ya falleció
8:35 changing your clothes or accessories like glasses or hats
That’s more like getting a new coat of paint for the engines I feel !
@ hmmm I guess but what better thing do you have?
@@SpugettyGernade check my own comment on it 😄 but be warned … it’s dumb … and probably childish ! But I don’t think too much about it .
when i was in the cold i blew out the smoke or whatever and i thought of that specific scene
@@spongb818 maybe !
Obviously, the best episode in the entire franchise is The Puppet Show! Absolutely zero contest
Here’s my Favorite episode from each model season:

Calling Season 11 your favourite of the ENTIRE model series is a take that is so wild and ridiculous that I weirdly have to respect it, like obviously I couldn’t disagree more and the same goes for a couple other takes you had (not understanding the hate for Middle Engine, loving episodes such as Smoke and Mirrors and Thomas and the Treasure), but I honestly can’t knock your enthusiasm and passion for said opinions.

I remember season 12 Fondly back when I was very little because I had that one DVD Featuring like Hank, Flora and the new guys. Yes season 12 is terrible we all know that That is unique For what it did Like the whole model and CGI thing. Actually kind of like the Hank episode, Yes it has the 3 strikes formula thing But I kinda like how Thomas is kinda like himself because he's like scoffing off somebody's help but he overestimated himself and fails at it. But at least he's trying to prove it. But I definitely agree with your pic. I really enjoy that Hector and James episode a very unlikely dual. James treats Hector like an object But Hector is the one that actually had a good which executed greatly on the outcome. Hector is such a forgotten character. And he's a truck out of everything!
You should do this again and do worst episodes it would be a great video

The equivalent of a human weeshing steam is I always thought … yes it may be nasty but it’s my goofy kid head is a human fart 😂 … don’t judge !
But I mean an engine weesh Ed at another and it’s considered a form of insult …
And when a human farts around another someone gunna say it nasty …
You see where I’m going with this or nah !
It maybe nasty … but kinda true !
A lot of these are hot takes. Old Iron is a top 3 episode from its season, but in terms of fan popularity, most of the others aren't even in the top 5 for their respective season. Your opinions are well justified, and I think this is a great list. A perfect example of how amazing this show is. So many episodes can be argued as great from many perspectives. Well done.

I am so wierd I know
This was a fun watch! Have you thought about doing a review on CAE or TGD?
TGD IS PEAK.
Season 1: Edward helps out, a big day for Thomas, trouble for Thomas, Thomas saves the day, foolish freight cars, Terence the tractor, Thomas and Bertie’s great race, trouble in the shed, Thomas breaks the rules, down the mine, Thomas’ Christmas party
Season 2: Bertie’s chase, saved from scrap, old iron, a new friend for Thomas, Donald and Douglas, Percy’s ghostly trick, Thomas and the missing Christmas tree
Season 3: Percy’s promise, Thomas gets bumped, Thomas Percy and the dragon, the trouble with mud, Thomas Percy and the mail train, Mavis, James goes buzz buzz, all at sea, Thomas and Percy’s mountain adventure
Season 4: you can’t win, four little engines (from the video only release), trucks, home at last, rock n roll, special funnel, steamroller, passenger and polish, gallant old engine, Thomas and Stepney, train stops play (from the video only release), bowled out, Henry and the elephant, toad stands by, bull’s eyes (from the video only release), Thomas and the special letter, Thomas meets the queen, fish, special attraction, mind that bike (from the video only release)
Season 5: basically all twenty-six episodes, but I would pick cranky bugs, horrid lorry, James and the trouble with trees, double teething troubles, Sir Topham Hatt’s holiday, make someone happy, busy going backwards, Rusty and the Boulder
Season 6: Salty’s secret, Harvey to the rescue, no sleep for cranky, a bad day for Harold, Elizabeth the vintage quarry truck, the fogman, Thomas and the jet engine
Season 7: Emily’s new coaches, spotless record, Salty’s stormy tale, something fishy, peace and quiet, Bulgy rides again, Gordon and Spencer
Season 8: Thomas and the circus, James goes too far, chickens to school, too hot for Thomas
Season 9: mighty Mac, Molly’s special special, Thomas’ day off
Season 10: Thomas and the jet plane, fearless Freddie, Thomas and the birthday mail
Season 11: Emily and the garbage, Hector the horrid, cool truckings, wash behind your buffers
Season 12: Rosie’s carnival special, heave ho Thomas, James works it out, tram trouble
Those are the ones that I mainly like and are my favourite due to keeping the us DVD releases, Thomas meets the queen (video), Salty’s secret, Thomas’ trackside tunes, make someone happy, spills and chills, gallant old engine/Henry and the elephant (both video and DVD), cranky bugs (both video and DVD), Thomas’ Christmas wonderland (mainly watch four of the episodes followed by the song), races rescues and runaways, Thomas and the special letter, 10 years of Thomas (both video and DVD), best of Thomas (both video and DVD) and Thomas and his friends help out (both video and DVD). While also counting another funny episode in season 6 followed by episodes of the characters that were new in season 7, some of the new characters that only had one role during the hit era episodes, and also season 8 where Thomas is pulling something and an out of character episode of James, which I don’t really care much about, but decided to pick for my favourites from seasons 7 to 12. Also because I mainly like that RUclips series, Thomaswoodenrailway most of the time just because you get to see the one episode characters and railway series only characters too, while also liking the railway series books by Rev. W Awdry and Christopher Awdry, the story library ones too and of course the wooden railway trains of them all, up to Frieda, Gina, Vinnie, Ashima, Yong Bao (fully coloured wood train) and Hugo along with the old style diesel 199 in for bear, a take n play Rex, ertls of Jock and the mail van and capsule plarails of Merrick and Owen.

It's called vaping
Pretty good choices for each season. I’d be interested in seeing the worst episode of every model season.
Incredible
Micheal Brandon peaked during S8 he might have been my favorite narrator if he kept his performance This good
My favourite episodes from the model era season 1 to 12
Season 1 flying kipper
Season 2 Edward exploit
Season 3 herny forest
Season 4 paint pots and queens
Season 5 a better view for gordon
Season 6 Thomas and the jet engine
Season 7 three cheers for Thomas
Jatp Thomas trusty friends
Season 8 Thomas to the rescue
Season 9 respect for gordon
Season 10 Thomas and the treasure

My favorite series 1 Thomas & Friends episode is James and the trucks.

Season 2: I guess episodes involved Edward
Season 3: escape
Season 4: Thomas and special letter
Season 5: Rusty and the boulder
Season 6: Thomas jet engine or scaredy engine
Season 7: Gordon and Spencer
Season 8: again it's so hard to choose there's so many good episodes (personally at least) you can do it toby
Season 9: mighty Mac
Season 10: for the record I really don't like season 10 because it's basically the first downfall Thomas go watch The unlucky tug and usual bloke Luke video on it I'll say it's good to be Gordon
Season 11: Hector the horrid and dream on
Season 12: obviously James works it out
We hate Saving Edward because of how it portrays his character.

7:28 thank you very much 😎
8:31 Ig trying to hide your face with your hands? And tbh I did like a few of these season 6 episodes as a kid that everyone else hated such as Buffer Bother
I’d say hiding your face with a hoodie or shirt is more accurate
Your avatar looks like something out of Infinity Train
Steven Universe the lips give it away.
Already commented once, but there's just so much to say. The HiT era is underrated, this video proves how many good episodes there really are, all overlooked by majority of fans, and those convenient one off locations may be annoying but I hsve to agree, it doesn't matter, they look so cool (except that one station which obly appears in James the Second Best, good episode though).
I like pancakes
I may have favorites from 1-11, but I won't say any for seasons 1 to 7 because when I was a child, I remember watching the hit era season and I love them as much as you do, if not more.
I enjoy listening to your thoughts and points in season 1-6, season 7 is mediocre at best without negativity, but I really love what you think of seasons 8, 9, 10, & 11. I really love all episodes on the hit era and listening to you say your favorites really makes me think and love that era even more. Also, while you have 'mixed' thoughts on season 12, James gets it right is actually my favorite episode of the series, followed up by Rosie's funfair special, Duncan and the hot air balloon, and The party surprise, whether or not you are reluctant to agree or just not care to the point you just can't think to care to say other wise. Regardless, it's really wonderful to hear someone talk about how they see how the hit era is there favorite out of all others.
The CGI era is nice and has some great episodes, but the part of the whole show I'll always have a place in my heart fondly will always be seasons 8, 9, 10, and 11. I love what you've said and think on each season, and your favorite episode from each season.

11: the transition sequences...
12: the transition sequences...
Yeah, I HATE Hitt era writing and visuals except for the few good Gordon episodes and despite growing up with it, I have no nostalgia for the era (unlike Series 1-5 which I always have loved). The new music also lowered my opinion of series 7 until I found the better version. At least the models were still there, which was gone by 13 (I stopped watching soon after being filled with false hope by Hero of the Rails, seeing a couple new episodes and then not being able to watch misty island rescue). I did see the episodes of the Brenner era that people liked and it was ok, but nothing after Series 5 is nearly as memorable
It’s not 40 years old it’s 78 years old
The tv show is 40 years old
You’re wrong on both accounts lol. I was talking about “Thomas and friends” not the railway series. The show is 40 years old. And the Railway series is 80 years old
@@TankEngineJonJon actually it’s 39
No no no. The RWS is 80 years old.
@lovestodraw19onrobloxuttp 1984-2024 is 40 years
FIRST!
this a great video btw
Third or whutever (this is a gud video tho im not tryna be a peice of shi)
18:38Thomas and the lighthouse seriously and series 11 being the best season ever for some reason I'm not saying that you're wrong but I don't agree with that Thomas and the lighthouse is just boring episode and I respectfully disagree with you 17:42 here because almost all of episodes are just mediocre to shit hide and peep Thomas and the runaway car trash Ding-A-Ling trash I don't get me wrong there's some good episodes like dream on Hector the horrid Emily in the garbage wash behind your buffers etc but most of these episodes are the goddamn same they use almost all the three strikes you're out formula episode 18:20 17:37 I really don't think series 11 is that good it's my second least favorite hit era season and the set design are just the same and I hate how they often do using the same the same angle over and over again hit is really lazy and the yellow tint doesn't help either it looks especially bad like Thomas and sticky cheese Toby's episode an Henry's lucky day more power to you if you enjoy series 11 but for me season 11 it's just painfully average it's better than season 10 but still not that good the Great Discovery was a much better send off to the model era
I never said season 11 was the best. I said it was my favorite.
