Thomas Gets Tricked [VHS]
From the Ringo Starr era (Ringo was eventually replaced by George Carlin as the train conductor), this program set on the island of Sodor features Thomas, Gordon, Edward, Percy, Toby, Annie, and Clarabell in "Thomas Saves the Day," "Thomas Gets Tricked," and "Edward Helps Out." This batch comprise good tales of cooperation, friendship, and loyalty, and the show's oddly dreamy if busy look is, as always, captivating for young viewers.--Tom Keogh
