Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends (1984)
Started off amazing, got worse with time.
It would be an understatement to say that Thomas and Friends is the best show to come from Britain. And one of the best shows on P. B. S., only behind Mister Roger's Neighborhood, and Arthur. Seasons 1-7 were amazing, as they treated the kids with respect and didn't talk down to them. But geez! This show has gone downhill since then. I trace it back to when HiT Entertainment took over during the airing of season six, and the production of season seven. HiT destroyed everything good about the show, and essentially made the show for toddlers, instead of for all ages. But at least it was somewhat realistic in that the show still used model trains. But starting with season 13, HiT Entertainment decided to make the whole series in CG, effectively ending any appeal that it had towards adults. Then in season 17, Mattel bought HiT, and started to revitalize the show. But in season 22, they decided to throw away all of it and just got rid of Edward and Henry. This was the final nail in the coffin for the series, and in season 24, the show ended. And don't even get me started on the spinoff, All Engines Go.

How does this show have a 6.5?!
This show looks like it was animated on Microsoft Paint. Were the Adult Swim executives thinking that this show was acceptable on a multi million dollar network. This is the same network that brought us Rick and Morty, and its sister network, CN, made Adventure Time, We Bare Bears, The Amazing World of Gumball, and Steven Universe. And this show ran for 15 years. What was Adult Swim thinking with this show. This is easily one of Adult Swim's dumbest decisions to greenlight this trainwreck. This series makes Problem Solverz look like Fantasia. The High Fructose Adventures of the Annoying Orange looks like Citizen Kane in comparison. I can easily call it one of the worst cartoons that I've ever seen. And I can definitely recommend a skip.
