I'm offended by it. It is utter, utter dogsh!t. A truly terrible show with a truly terrible message: always be boring and sensible. Never deviate.
Utter crap. |  |

Christ, between the Guardian telling us to be offended at everything and the Mail telling us to be furious at everything, it's no wonder I gave up reading newspapers 20 years ago. |  | | |

My bruv Phil knew the Rev Awdrey and there were rumours he'd penned a last book entitled "Gordon The Big Engine gets stuck in up to the buffers" |  |

yeah, but as the article says, there are good shows and bad ones. My son loves a lot of shows, and loves the idea of Thomas because he loves trains - but even he can see the programe itself is utter sh!te and he can never sit through more than a minute after the catchy song has finished, whereas plenty of others hold his attention really well, because they're not so bloody terrible. | |

If a child of mine asked to watch that show, I would sit them down and clearly explain, in the most loving way possible, that they are adopted and I don't like them. |  |

Lets not forget the original stories/idea were never designed to entertain today's multi media generation.
They are books designed to be read to children by their parents - how quaint is that? |  | | |

Mind you the cartoons were better then.
Ulysses 31 (the iliad) Dungeons and dragons, cities of Gold etc.
Remember when you found out Venger was Dungeon Master's son? Top stuff.
Compare it to something like Ballamory or Peppa pig.

My son has Thomas everything. Dinner set, pyjamas, toys, slippers and you know what?
He can't even talk yet so I don't know if he really likes it but he laughs when I show him the picture of Thomas inside his bowl when he finishes his food.
I reckon kids see Thomas for what it is, a few trains with faces going up and down a track. |  | | |

I was being ironic & fair enough if you, or more importantly your children don't like them.
The multi million industry behind TTTE suggests you might be in the minority though! ;-) | | | |
