I gave this a 5 as an adult looking back. The child I remember myself as being would give it a 10. I was fascinated by trains so the set-up of the show was perfect. As an adult I am a big fan of Fred Rogers and see similarities between Mister Roger's Neighborhood and this show. The train as a device to signify a change of mood, direction, etc is similar to Mister Roger's trolley. Also, I remember the hosts manner as being very calm, warm and comforting - as with Mister Rogers. The conclusion, as I remember it, was not unlike Mister Rogers - a song and an affirmation of the child viewer's worth. Might have included an assurance that he would be back which would have been the Mister Roger's Trifecta. As I remember the song: Time is a wastin' and so I must hasten to go now. It's been a pleasure, a very great pleasure to be with you today. (and the phrase - same as at the beginning - "Mister I-Magination: the man with the magic reputation.")
