R.I.P. Russell Means (1939-2012) :'-(

gasp! i've watched shining time station! daaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off! that's what i'd say, then ask mom to turn to channel 11 (in san diego), and set the alarm for about 9 or 10 (IDK what time it came on), so i could first watch TPIR, then arrive in shining time station to depart with Thomas.

i preferred george carlin as the conductor

Ringo was awsome

man my childhood just came back to me. Sitting in the front room playing with my toys watching PBS kids and this comes on. I think every part of my childhood up till I was 14 I see this show.

I Miss it...

This is one of the greatest PBS kids shows of all time!

did u kno ring starr was the human that told the stories

JESUS CHRIST, I REMEMBER THIS!!!!!!

some parts are on youtube i loved garlin as mr conductor very funny

I didn't watch this show very often as a kid, but saw a few episodes later in life. Instead of relying on artificial happiness, like the god-awful Barney & Friends, or on bright colors, like the Teletubbies, it relies on intelligent playing and problem solving. The train theme is nice. It almost alludes to the more peaceful time in history, when railroads, not highways, were the main means of travel.

holy shitttt i forgot all about this. it's kinda a blur but i remember the way the one human guy talked..his voice lol

i loved this show i watched whenever i caught it and i like the theame song and still remeber it

1992-1993 I believe is when i watched this

OMG....
The song dude, Im not sure what it is but if I hear that song I start to tear up...

i loved this show. i wish it was still on

WOW :0 i totally remember this it's all a blur to me now

this introduced me to the legend, geore carlin. may he rest in peace.

I loved this show when I was little. My dad was a train lover when he was a kid so when he found out he was having a daughter he was a little disappointed. As he imagined I liked Barbie way more than Thomas but he found this show on PBS for me to try and he could enjoy the stories about Trains and I loved the kids and Mr. Conductor. I even gave in to buying the Metal Thomas Trains which now are collectors items. I will never forget the memories that this show gave me with my dad.

I used to watch Shining Time Station on WITF 33.

I loved the jukebox band! LOL and George Carlin as Mr. Conductor. He was awesome.

I just graduated high school last weekend, i just saw this and remembered all the metal toys of Thomas downstairs in boxes,...
I feel SO OLD
I loved this show
and m brothers were OBSESSED with it!!

oh wow..i remember watching this..man i was young back then..

"The Flexatoon Puppets"created and manipulated

by Craig and Olga Marin and Alan Sezmok played

"The Jukebox Band"..inside of"Scheamer's"jukebox

within his little penny arcade at"Shining Time Station!".

...*sniff*.....Good Times, man...Good Times....That's all I have to say

Loved LOVED Shining Time Station!!
Jukebox band was the best! And the Thomas Stories rocked too

i loved watchin this show when i was little. i hated when they did the stories about the trains though. i was more focused on the jukebox puppets and scheimer. but 19 years later and nobody remembers the jukebox puppets or scheimer...just those damn trains lol.

i love to find this on dvd for my niece i remember i watched this every day until they canciled it

make that 7

I have 4 Vhs tapes of this

I loved this show I watched it all the time. Now they took out the real people and It's just called Thomas and Friends. My little cousins have those books. One of the little guys was showing me a picture book. and I reconized the charecters. witout really thinking I said "Oh look It's Sir Topemhat" and needless to say I suddenly became a hero to my little cousins because I knew the charecters.

Man, I remember this show...The should bring it back, or at least on DVD... My children(If I ever have/get any) will probably never see this wonderful show, or the times where they didn't make up crappy stories, and used the ones the Rev. Awdry wrote, well most of the time they did.

i miss it

Wiat thats Grease LOL...as in hair gel not Greece the country LOL...man,...loved that show and the morals man....

Hey keenius I remember that episode it's actually my most favorite epesode of all time,..well in the series that is. He bought those TV'v you used to see in airports it was a gang of them with a shit load of channels, and he woudl charge you a nickel per hour,... then that awful dirty man Gerorge Carlin saved them with some help from Diddy the chick from Greece one of the Pink Ladies,.. and BYERE George Carlin is a shock but a Beatlle had his job beofre him LOL Ringo Starr

Who'd have thought... George Carlin... one of the most foul mouthed comedians in America... used to do something like this and narrate Thomas the Tank Engine

I did remember this as a kid in the 90's. it was back on TV on nick J.R in 2000-2000.

Where can I watch part of an episode? Or a full episode?

the guy who liked quarters name was scheimer

god i used to love this show as a kid and i still do..my fav segment of the show is when those people in the juke box start singing ...hehe as a child i wished that i owned that jukebox

This brings back memories... Watched it all the time on PBS way-back-when.

Remember that guy who was always after peoples' nickels? What was his name?

But yeah they definitely need to air this show again. Kids today are missing out.

OMG! Thank you ever so much! I have not seen this show in AGES! I absolutely LOVED this show! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I used to love this show! The creepy little people inside the old radio or juke box..whatever it was!! haha and that movie thing the kids turned the handle to watch!

my son is a huge thomas fanatic. you can still buy thomas on video and dvd and episodes still air on PBS and Sprout. but yeah . they do need to bring back Shining time Station.

I recall watching this great show from the mid 1990s to the late 1990s. Although I'm 15 I still like Thomas and I always will. By the way Rev. W. Awdry, the creator of these books died at age 85 in 1997.

RIP Wilbert Awdry 1911-1997

I love(d) this show. What I'd give to see it again. What sticks out the most are the Thomas the Tank Engine segments and the jukebox. Remember watching the coin going down the jukebox?

To answer the question of trekkie06, the answer is in the "Shining Time Station Christmas Special." Basically, the first Mr. Conductor was hired by Santa.

Whoee! I remember this show!

This show was okay, not great.

i loved this show-and Skeemer. remember the puppets in the jukebok?

The thing I want to know is why did he turn from a British rock musician to an American stand-up comic?

aww i loved this show..with the train dude and the station!! it was great television.
