An analysis of “Munitions” please. The absolute chaos that episode brings toppled with the fact that it’s all models, sets and practicality is what makes it my favorite episode.

Having an animation studio like Laika Studios reboot TUGS would be a dream.

I agree that Tugs needs more love! I’m not a boat person either but Tugs really scratched that itch that Thomas couldn’t quite get at times. Seriously, any Thomas fans who never gave Tugs a chance, give it another chance!

When train boy does a tugs analysis *"TODAYS THE DAY!"*

I would like to see an analysis on Munitions as that's a huge favourite amongst fans.

This was the first episode of Tugs I ever saw and I was hooked afterwards. You know, when Big Mickey was introduced in the CGI era of Thomas, I thought for sure they'd introduce the rest of the Tugs characters. Odd they didn't. Oh, well. Great job with this analysis. Can't wait to hear your views on "Munitions".

Trainboy: “though it’s a shame we’ll likely never see anything new of the Tugs” Mattel starts seeing dollar signs

"that's real zero thinking dummy"

It’s kind of interesting how TUGS did the Team vs Team trope, in this case, Star Vs. Z-stacks, BEFORE Thomas and friends, Diesels Vs. Steamies

High Tide was the first TUGS episode I saw and I got interested in TUGS from there. It's mainly the bridge scene is why I love this episode. Coupled with the music makes this a really tense and memorable scene.

Sadly, I never got to watch Tugs as a child and only found out about it when I got back into Thomas Community. At least its all on KZfaq to watch now!

I dunno, I could see you doing a series called "Tugboy", where you review the "Tugs" episodes!

Favourite episode! I’d love to see an analysis on either Up River, Munitions, Ghosts, High Winds, or Quarantine

I always assumed most Thomas fans would love tugs, or show some Intrest In it. Tugs hits a huge spot for me cause while I love trains, I'm also a maritime enthusiast, and I've always loved tugboats since I was a kid, high tide is definitely one of my favorite episodes! I vaguely remember watching as a kid "salty's lighthouse" which reused and edited scenes from Tugs into new stories, wasn't until years later I found out about Tugs, and was instantly hooked.

Discussing Tugs is apt since the Marklin engine used for The Goods Engine was also used in the early TV series. Munitions comes to mind as one you should look at. It too has trains in the plot, as does Upriver.

Piece of constructive criticism perhaps, but I didn't feel like this was an analysis as much as it was a plot recap. I've enjoyed pretty much all of your content, and still enjoyed this video, just think the title was a little misleading. Keep at it with the content tho man, you're killing it.

Can you also, do "Up River"? The reason is because, Puffa(The engine who crosses the bridge), does play a major role, and talks, sorta.

This is my favourite episode too! When the music kicks in as soon as the goods train shows up is next level! 👌👌👌

This will always be my favorite episode of TUGS. There’s just something oddly satisfying about it.

Trainboy uploads a tugs video Me: *confusion 10000*

Tugs has a special place in my heart, when I was younger watching it on VHS whenever I'd go visit my grandparents (who were a plane flight and several hours drive away). This episode is definitely one of the more memorable to me as well, great to see you cover Tugs stuff too :D

This is the best character episode for me. it shows why Top hat is a necessary addition to the fleet. He's actually quite smart.

Trainboy: "now don't worry I'm not switching to boat content or anything" me: "Boatboy"

Two Fun Facts from Thomas And Tugs Fun Fact:There were 96 scripts and a season 2 planned for Tugs but then tv was bankrupt. Second Fun Fact: In a interview with David Mitton, he was asked what was his favorite scene from thomas. And his favorite was in Flying kipper when it show scenes from Brendam Dock.

My personal favourite episode is Up River. The constant feel of dread, plus the focus on Puffer the steam engine racing the runaway logs always has meat the edge of my seat.

An amazing analysis! You certainly did the episode justice. It's great to see this show get some appreciation! Truly amazing job as always!

tugs isn't a popular show but it sticks out to all of us

High Tide is a fan favorite as it was the closest to tying the two worlds if boats and trains together!! It's definitely a favorite of mine!!

Yeah, ive seen all the tugs episodes, a while back, despite being a railways person, i absolutely loved it

Next season: The bismark enters the port.

Nice analysis of my favorite show! You are really good at analyzing episodes!

no comment on how Big Mickey the Crane made the jump to Thomas and Friends as the "other" Harbor crane, and even got a speaking role and Name Drop in season 21?

I’m so glad I found your channel

As a rail fan I also love the person who thought to add tugs to Thomas and friends.

I'm glad Sunshine doesn't speak all that much in the series because his voice drives me mad.

Honestly I wonder what if there was an episode of Thomas & Friends where someone like Percy or James were one of the two engines that crossed the bridge and got caught in the events of High Tide.

Considering there are only a limited number of episodes, you could do analyses of the lot. I thank you for bringing TUGS to my attention with your previous video, well worth the watch.

Amazing! Always loved Tugs! Still got them on 📼 😄

For me it was Tugs over Thomas, I have all the Tugs vhs tapes I got as a kids still. Still love it today and have introduced it to my kids.

Growing up, I was (still am) a big fan of Thomas and Theodore Tugboat TUGS was actually recommended to me by a friend who grew up with both as well.

This is the episode that got me into the show.

I deeply need more of this

Big Mickey is the only character from TUGS to appear in TAF

You explain like a boss

The epic music makes it even more interesting

I've always been indifferent to TUGS, but then I watched it a few months ago while feeling ill and it instantly won me over. I honestly wish we had more series like it.

An analysis on Munitions would actually be pretty awesome! Could you do one please?

Fun fact: Some of the Tugs models and sets were sold to Britt Allcroft and were modified and used in Thomas and Friends from 1991 onward

YEY FOR TUGS!

there is a Tugs episode that involves one of those engines. its Puffa the goods engine. Its in a episode called up river.

I'm a fan of both

Great review, High Tide is one of my favorite episodes of Tugs, especially that Puffa is in it. I would love to see a review of Ghosts.

The Big Mickey model is used in Thomas and Friends Season 2 or 3 on docks after tugs got canceled and CGI series made a nod to the crane

Make an entire series of it

I honestly wish I wasn’t one of those people who thought Tugs was a knockoff of Thomas until a year ago. But then again, it was probably better for me to watch it last year so that I would be old enough to handle the explosions, music, and Izzy Gomez.

This is the best episode to get someone who isn’t into tug

A few friends of me and I translate the series into German and I'm so happy when this episode is on

I love this episode of tugs. It's the main reason why top hat is my favourite character. He kind of reminds me of james because hes a bit vain but a hard worker.

Tbh tho this felt more like a summary than an analysis..... I want more.

Don't know how often you've ever mentioned it if at all but have you checked out Theodore Tugboat? It's no Tugs but it definitely has the same vibes and was a great show which makes sense for being a derivative of it. We really need more shows with that narration and presentation style. Thomas and Friends, TUGS and Theodore Tugboat had a special kind of magic.

“Some things gonna go wrong”

Memorieeeeeeeeeeeeeees

I’d like to see a full on crossover between tugs and the classic series

Looking forward to seeing more soon Boatboy

Around 2000-2002, I was introduced to the show thanks to Salty's Lighthouse. Before that, I was well aquatinted with Theodore Tugboat.

Wait, so is the ending of Thomas and the Magic Railroad a Tugs reference?

Great Analysis! You should do a TUGS Analysis on the Episodes, Ghosts & Munitions!

That crash scene was... Gorgeous...

It's a missed opportunity to get them into TTTE, could have seen them coming on bits at a time until they finally release TUGS in CGI form to compliment what Thomas & Friends was.

My favorite episodes tugs is high tide as well train boy 😊

Also once you´ve finished watching the original TUGS show, please be sure to check out Victor Tanzig´s ´stories of Sodor´ series where he adapts the episodes into Thomas stories using Trainz

Yay tugs again!

I like TUGS, i've seen all 13 episodes and actually own a VHS tape for Jinxed, Quarantine & Up River. Out of the 13 episodes; those three are the ones i like, the other 10 didn't click with me. I wish it'd lasted longer/would come back. I've even imagined how a comeback could've happened; with Thomas encountering Ten Cents at Brendham Docks as the latter helped bring in a ship while on loan to The Fat Controller.

And it was never even remastered in HD.

Great video I think I’m going to watch tugs

Do a video on at the Salty's Lighthouse remakes of Tugs and give your honest opinions on them. I'm seriously interested in what you would have to say about that disaster...

The first episode of Tugs I saw on the High Tide vhs tape.

Trainboy if you wanna talk about TUGS episodes talk about Munitions and how badass it is!

This is madness; Madness, This is Tugs

It'd be nice to see this kind of video for all the TUGS episodes, since there's not that many of them.

Super epic!!!!

It's beautiful

5:31-5:36 I got a good laugh out of this scene, not gonna lie! 😂

Don’t worry...I give Tugs 100/10 :)

Top hatt is my favorite character he's hilarious

Please do more of this

I gained a further appreciation for TUGS, thanks to Victor Tanzig and his Stories of Sodor series having based some episode on episodes of this series.

FINALLY

This was great made me really want to go watch the show and it is cool it was made buy some people form Thomas and friends

I would love to see you cover the episode “Munitions” as well

Nice analysis. "Munitions", "High Winds" or "Bigg Freeze" would be a good follow up.

Trainboy should make a video on the TCC

Tugs=Canadian Version of Theodore the tugboat with specifically focusing on one tugboat

yea, i was suprised when i heared about tugs

I really just prefer Theodore Tugboat over Tugs. Also I lived in Michigan so I got Theodore broadcasts from Canada and never saw Tugs until the internet. I also just like the look of Theodore better.

The mail train didn't even have a mail car. A passenger coach and caboose.

You should make a model of puffa

You should do "Trapped" which actually happened recently with a cargo ship called Ever Given got stuck in a river

Can you do the big freeze and up river

Definitely review Munitions and for a possible Thomas episode The True Story (or stories) of Bye George
