It is no exaggeration for me to say that.
TUGS truly is one of the most well made kids shows I have ever watched. Although I was more into its more famous sister show Thomas & Friends and don't ever recall watching TUGS as a kid (though I do remember reading the book Nothing to Declare), I guess it's never too late to get into great shows as such.
A top notch show by far, with stunning shots and scenes, great voice acting, wonderful character portrayals, quality writing, Gerry Anderson-like explosions (some of you may recall that one of the show's creators David Mitton was a special effects technician for sci-fi shows by said creator, hence the explosions), enticing music score by Thomas composers Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell, action, drama, excitement, and plenty of maritime realism.
As for my favourites:
Characters: Warrior, Ten Cents, O. J., Hercules, Top Hat, Captain Star, Zebedee, Zorran, Zug, Billy Shoepack, Puffa, Lillie Lightship, Grampus, and Sea Rogue
Episodes (ranked from 6 to 1): Bigg Freeze, High Tide, High Winds, Trapped, Munitions, and Warrior (episode)
What a show!
