		I've been working for a public television station in what is known as "master control" for about 2 years now, and one of my jobs is to watch and monitor the programming in order to make sure it all goes over the air properly.
		It's bad enough to have children watching television to keep themselves amused for a long time, it's even worse when all that happens is a flickering assortment of songs, dances and stories.
		Now, one of the major adult characters is a fellow named Schemer who runs the arcade in the station and is constantly trying to make a quick buck, often at the expense of another person.

	SPLICEDwire "Thomas and the Magic Railroad" review (2000)
		Conductor, a toy-sized train station attendant who zips between idyllic Shining Time Station in the real world and the magical Island of Sodor, where young Thomas the Tank Engine aspires to be "a really useful engine" when he's not being bullied by a mean, modern diesel with a snarling, gnashing clamp mounted on its top.
		Little more than a tediously protracted and befuddled episode of "Shining Time Station" -- the very, very low-rent Brit import program featuring a perky little steam engine with self-esteem issues and three facial expressions -- the whole movie rings with the resounding thud of a contrived effort that nobody put their hearts into.
		The TV show is simplistic but earnest toddler fare featuring talking miniature trains with wildly rolling eyes on otherwise freeze-framed faces ("animated" by a few different inert expressions swapped on and off the engines' front ends from time to time).

	Syracuse New Times: Film Review
		Transferring a beloved children's TV series for the big screen isn't the easiest task, especially when that show is Shining Time Station, the one-time PBS fixture (it's now on cable's Nickelodeon) that thrived with the intimate, imaginative adventures of Thomas the Tank Engine.
		Conductor (Alec Baldwin, hamming it up) is frightfully low on the sparkling gold dust he needs to traverse back and forth from Shining Time Station to the Island of Sodor where the trains are running.
		Yet Shining Time auteur Britt Allcroft does a pretty good job retaining the gentle spirit of the series, while expanding the magical concepts just enough with more lavish special effects that aren't overwhelming and name performers who toe the line with appropriately whimsical characterizations.

		And the barmaid says "that kind of language is only appropriate in the bedroom..." FOX screwed up big time when they let that show go.
		The funniest episode was when George had to plead his case in court for driving the blind guy around in his cab giving the guy a ride, when the guy wasn't even blind.
		Maybe he had little or no control over the writing, or maybe it was just a bad year for him, but I lost a little respect for the man after seeing this show- he should stick to stand-up comedy, where he's a real pro.
