Shining Time Station

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.

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.

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."

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....

For me, I really liked Shining Time Station. I liked it they have both Ringo Starr and George Carlin as Mr. Conductor. I did like Ringo Starr as Mr. Conductor, I like it every time he appear and disappear. But, when George Carlin was Mr. Conductor I really like him, he was my favorite. I really liked the kids on the show my favorites were Dan, Kara, Becky, Matt, and Tanya after all they all were cousins on the show. I saw an episode when they had all 5 kids on there, it was when the kids wanted to play baseball and Scheemer was their coach, it was funny. I even saw the first episode of the second season, when it was Halloween and the characters Dan, Kara, Becky, Mr. Conductor played by George Carlin and Billy Twofeathers was introduced, Matt and Tanya was on their too. I wish that Shining Time Station was back on the air so families everywhere can watch it with their kids.
