Am I wrong or isn't this the springboard for the whole Thomas franchise? There is only a small mention of this in the description of what happens each episode. What gives?

You're right. Thomas the Tank Engine & his crew usually had 1 or 2 short stories on each episode narrated by Ringo Starr as Capt. Conductor, & later George Carlin, who was the replacement for Starr. Why there is only a small description of it for what happens in an episode, I have not a clue.

Actually the Thomas the Tank Engine sreies was around before this like I think in the 80s and they used some of those stories on the show. The stories themselves were written like 50 years ago but that was not the question
Same thing we do every night try to take over the world

The show was just a vehicle for Thomas in the States. They thought the show was too Britishy to make sense, so they framed it with an American environment.

I had no idea that Thomas was it's own series. Thanks for the info!
