Wow, you never could have a railroad like this in real life, the number of accidents that happen on Sir Topham Hatt's railroad would be bringing in the Dept. of Transportation faster than Spencer against a race with Edward. Also I wonder where they have this kind of money to run a railroad especially on an island. Any railroad on an island would definitely be a small time affair with not this many engines that can obviously be done by autos and trucks. I haven't seen the island being swarmed with tourists or any large scale housing developments to support a population and income to run such a large railway. It's quite unrealistic.

But on another level, my kids love this show, it is good wholesome entertainment and gets the kids into trains.

Yeah there is some drinking in this show. OK it's all about drinking and a little sightseeing too, but my gawd how can one human drink yet still have the energy to go to all these places. Maybe I'm a bit of a wimp. This was a really funny show, Dave is funny and the concept of the show is great. No matter where you are in North America (and around the world) people all like to get drunk and make asses of themselves on camera. I think there should have been a few other cities that Dave could have gone to (Portland Maine for example, or just have a two hour special going thru New England, believe me there is a lot of drinking to be done up here) Maybe he can bring back the show in a few years or so, would be cool!!

I haven't really been interested in any movies that have come out in the past 10 years. For some reason this one really looked funny and decided to buy it on video. (I don't even remember it coming out in the theaters) Napoleon Dynamite is funny. It is really odd and different from what I expected from comedies that have come out lately. I don't think it's because of it's lack of crude humor either. All the characters are really odd and deadpan. Maybe that's why, cause everyone is so deadpan, and it reminds me a bit of Buster Keaton's film characters (ok it's a bit of a stretch)The simple fact is that I enjoyed it. There may be debates on whether this film is funny or not. Doesn't matter since the only thing that counts is what the viewer thinks of the movie. And a note to people who are having long arguments about this film, it's just a movie, nothing more.
