It's a kids show, people. My 2 year old is obsessed and the songs even get stuck in my head. Yeah it's different than the original series but that doesn't make it bad. And let's be honest, the eyes were so soulless before. If you're looking for a continuation of those, don't bother. But if you're just looking for a cute kids show about trains then it's perfect. No need to give bad ratings when you're not the target audience.
