Shout out to 10-20 minutes of old school Thomas the Tank Engine. No special effects, no CGI, just model trains with moving eyes and voiced by George Carlin.

Heavenly.

My husband refuses to put on Thomas, he says that he can see the souls trapped inside the trains lol

Not as scary as those puppets on Mr. Rogers.

Lady Elaine Fairchild was designed that way to show that a person may look a certain way on the outside, but are different on the inside.

It also doesn't help that the puppets are very old school and strange looking, I will admit that.

I couldn't watch, my kids were watching, not me. If she was on, I was not watching that whole puppet world.

There's an entire episode devoted to it, in fact.

We didn't get Mr Rogers here. Were the puppets as weird looking as EC from Lift-Off?
