The series aired on PBS from January 29, 1989 until June 11, 1993, with Hour long specials airing from February 28th to November 20th, 1995. It then continued on the network in reruns until June 11, 1998. It aired on Fox Family from 1998 to 1999. It also aired on Nick Jr. in 2000 and on Canadian television networks such as APTN and SCN. Elements from the show were incorporated into the Thomas and Friends film Thomas and the Magic Railroad.
