Shining Time Station

This program series has been one of my favorite shows to watch ever since I was eight years old. Didi Conn is my favorite actress and my favorite line from the show is when her character answers the phone with, "Hello, Shining Time Station, Stacy Jones speaking."

When I was very little I remember going to my grandparents house for a visit often. I can remember very clearly watching "Shining Time Station" on there TV in the mornings. There was Barney, and Sesame Street but I clearly remember watching "STS". I couldn't believe it when it came off the air. I guess my kids will never have the same experience that I had from watching Thomas the Tank engine and all his friends and Mr. Conductor and his little whistle. The stories that Mr. C. told were a lot of fun to listen to. I really miss it and if you have any information on were I can buy "STS" videos anywhere than that would be wonderful. Go ahead and E-mail me.

The Shining Time Station is a great series for kids. It showcases what is good in the world of trains and teaching lessons that are good for them. Also, the show can be funny at times. But of course, what brings the show to be one of the best is the acting by George Carlin as Mr. Conductor (he received a Emmy nomination for it). Entertaining and enlightening throughout.

I used to watch this if I woke up early, but lost track of it. I have no idea why it is no longer on PBS. Also sad to see that 'Scheemer', Brian O'Connor died in 1994... Anyway the interaction of DeeDee, Billy and George Carlin as Mr Conductor, and the antics of Scheemer made this quite enjoyable. And the Thomas the Tank Engine sequences where quite good what with the elaborate miniature model work, all done with obvious love....

I used to watch this show when I was three years old. They have great acting. My old friend Loney has some videos of this show. I have not seen this show in a long time. I saw it back when it was on PBS. now it is on Fox Family. It is about a train that moves.
