Does anyone remember the Thomas the Tank Engine stories narrated by Ringo between 1984 and 1986? For me Ringo was the best Thomas narrator his voice just seemed to suit it what do you think? For those of you who have not seen or heard these stories click on the link below
Boy, do I ever remember this! My son watched Thomas all the time when he was little. Ringo was indeed the best Mr. Conductor. I just had a hard time buying George Carlin in that role. I just couldn't disassociate him from the Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television bit I guess!
I remember there was this one older episode that was a Christmas show. I taped it and my kids watched that so many times-all year-that I knew all the dialouge by heart! I miss those little kids but they are pretty cool adults so I guess I wouldn't go back.
Right. They reran Thomas The Tank Engine on PBS for years.
Heck yes they did!! I watched it basically every day when I was a kid! Growing up in a railway family it was kinda expected I'd watch it, then when Ringo and George Carlin were on it, it kinda gave the show some street cred in my house lol!
My son would have liked growing up in your family. He still loves trains and has been chasing them ever since I let him go off alone on his bike. Now he gets to do it in his truck.
Baldwin and Carlin both were good too as narrators.
At that point in his career/life it was to impress wifey Kim Bassinger.quote from IMDB : "Baldwin's distinctive vocal talents then saw him voice US-aired episodes of the highly popular UK children's show "Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends" (1984)"
I don't think it worked too well!
