Tire Town School (Chinese: 汽车学校) is an animated series that released on Little Fox. It debuted on March 3, 2016 and ended on February 16, 2018.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) To start off, the entire show is unoriginal. In fact, it mostly steals elements from other shows similar to it like Thomas & Friends and mh:besttvshows:Blaze and the Monster Machines, (mostly the latter).
 * 2) * Eddy, the main character we're supposed to sympathize for, is Blaze and Thomas combined.
 * 3) * Poppy, has a personality mix of both Darington and Pickle.
 * 4) * Zippy is basically Crusher and Diesel, combined.
 * 5) * Eerily enough, the show's animation feels similar to Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go, which came after this show.
 * 6) The characters are no better, mostly because of their personality.
 * 7) * Poppy is the annoying funny clown one, and constantly tell jokes.
 * 8) ** In fact, in one episode "Poppy is Scared", Poppy is scared of the car wash, because of the strange sounds.
 * 9) * Dipper is another one of Eddy's friends that is basically an ice cream truck. All she can do is play music.
 * 10) * Zippy (whose is a racecar) is an antagonist that constantly bullies and tease Eddy and his friends because they're slow. Just because they're slower than you, doesn't mean that you have be mean, Zippy! Also, since he's a racecar, he goes super-fast, while sometimes even making fun of the other trucks behind him.
 * 11) ** Even after Eddy helped him in the episode "Crash!", he still teased him.
 * 12) **Not just that, but being fast can be even dangerous, as this happened to Zippy in "Zippy is Stuck", when he got stuck in a bush. Therefore, the other trucks have a good reason not to go fast (this also implies that Zippy does not care about safety).
 * 13) ***This has also even happened to Eddy in "Eddy is Not Safe", when he went off the tracks during an safety test (though he did it out of rage because of Zippy).
 * 14) *Jeb is also another one of Eddy's friends, and he's an pick-up truck and loves dirt. Other than that, he's pretty much an useless character since he doesn't do much. Also, his voice is very irritating, and it makes him sound like very old man.
 * 15) *There's also Gasser, who is a monster truck and new addition to Eddy's friends. He's also useless too because he doesn't do much either.
 * 16) The animation is art-style looks pretty cheap and also looks like it was made entirely in Flash. In fact, some scenes attemptly chibified. Considering that it's produced in China (and is also made for young children), this is not an surprise.
 * 17) Since each episode is 1-3 minutes long, there are "story arcs" that packaged several (usually four) episodes into a full one. For example, Episodes 1-4 is about Eddy's first day at school and meeting new friends, episodes 5-8 is about the trucks going to a car wash, and episodes 21-25 is about Eddy having a race with Zippy. Honestly, it's not necessary to not package several episodes into as one as an "story arc".
 * 18) *In fact, the story arcs can last to 9-10 minutes, making this show an episodic series.
 * 19) There's also a narrator (typical for Little Fox's shows made for younger kids), and similar to Peppa Pig, she constantly says what action the character does, what they're doing, or what's happening to them (when it's very obvious). It will get very annoying. It doesn't help that there's subtitles at the bottom of the screen (this is in EVERY episode), which the narrator has a part in.
 * 20) *This is especially frequent when an character says anything, it's immediately followed the narrator saying "said (character)", as if the episode is like an storybook.
 * 21) *Speaking of which, there's an storybook version of this show, which feels even more lifeless, as it just uses images from the original episodes, and uses the original audio from them too (in fact, they leave sound effects intact sometimes).
 * 22) *Sometimes, the narrator would even imitate sound effects like when Eddy starts up his engine (the imitated sound effect was Vroom!).
 * 23) Boring and overused plots.
 * 24) Unfitting voice acting. Eddy sounds like an adult, Zippy sounds moreso annoying, and Jeb is literally is the worst offender of these. He sounds seriously way too old and dull, and his voice does not fit in his own design.
 * 25) Very overused stock music, which plays in almost every single episode.
 * 26) *The title music is always used the title card of every episode, as well as some endings in episodes.
 * 27) Jumping the shark with new characters like Gasser, who first appeared in "A Monster?".
 * 28) "The Talent Show" ended the show on a sour note.
