NSBR: Talk to me about Thomas the Train

[Voodoo_Bryn]

I don't get it.

We watched it for the first time today since Yorick got a book for Christmas and he's loved it.

So it was on PBS today and...

I really really don't get it. We watch Nick Jr. around here, so am I just used to a higher budgeted toddler show or am I just... not... sedate enough?

The only thing that really moves is their eyes, which creeps me out and the trains... so it seems so boring and irritating to me.

Somebody help me understand this phenomenon and why I'm supposed to sit through it with my toddler.
