* SoOkayItsAverage: Now that the FandomRivalry with [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends ''Thomas'']] has died down, the general opinion on the show these days is that while it's not a ''great'' show, it's also still not a "bad" or "horrible" one, and has some occasional good moments and episodes and characters to it.

* FandomRivalry: Rather notoriously, the show has been dogged by one of these with [[DuelingWorks fellow show]] ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'' for...basically all of its life, with fans of the latter loathing Chuggington and deriding it as being a [[TheyCopiedItSoItSucks "ripoff"]] and "too unrealistic and bouncy". That being said, this has died down in recent years, as detailed under [[VindicatedByHistory "Vindicated By History"]] below.

* VindicatedByHistory: Given the aforementioned FandomRivalry with [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends Thomas]], Chuggington's reception has always been...[[BrokenBase tepid]], to say the least. However, in recent years, the show's reception has turned around somewhat, ''especially'' after ''Thomas'' had its attempted "Big World! Big Adventures!" relaunch (which was both [[SeasonalRot a failure]] and [[AudienceAlienatingEra poorly received]]), and then the subsequent "[[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriendsAllEnginesGo All Engines Go!]]" spinoff, causing many fans of that show, even the ones who once derided it, to give this one a second look.

* SeasonalRot: Season 4 was notably poor compared to other seasons. Due to Season 3 not being that well received (to the point where they stopped production at 14 episodes and had the budget lowered), alongside troubled toy sales, the whole show went through a revamp to try and get more appeal for the crowd again. While the updates to the animation, the cast, and the trainees moving to advanced training were well received, the season was mostly StrictlyFormula (trainee has difficulty learning something new, and another trainee has a usually useless subplot) and overly MerchandiseDriven, lacking the balance of toyetic elements and story the other seasons had.

Sentence doesn't fit the rest of the paragraph, isn't formatted well, and is kinda redundant. Also, from what I can gather, ESPECIALLY compared to "Thomas" at it's peek, Chuggington's characters, writing, and worldbuilding, while having some good bits and bits of brilliance, are otherwise generally regarded as being 'nothing special', so I don't really see the reason for putting this there.
