What more is there to say really? This show was plain unwatchable.Again, a typical example of a Family Guy prototype/clone. Yes, I know this came out long before Family Guy but it really doesn't matter. It's just the same, dumbed down family sitcom, dressed up differently. The majority of people will LOVE IT... and that's sad.Dumb husband. Smart wife. Teenage boy & girl. Baby (yes, a HUGE percentage of the "dialogue" was done in baby talk... which says a lot about the demographic it catered to). Lot's of dry, witless humor and "jokes" so stale, anyone with a brain couldn't tell if they were making an attempt at being funny or if they were just really, really witless. "Dinosaurs" specialized in the kind of humor that would make a seven year old kid roll on the ground laughing, but that most coherent adults would just roll their eyes at or not even acknowledge as being remotely relevant to anything. And don't get me wrong, I LOVE dark, dry, subtle humor. It's my favorite. But either it works, or it doesn't. And when it doesn't... it's just embarrassing.I loved the first decade or so of The Simpsons. Back when it was edgy enough to make people think a little -- rather than just be used as a tool to parrot political correctness. Many take this as a Simpson's "knock-off". It really wasn't even in the same league. It was like a "kids" version of the Simpsons with everything bleached out... which was just pointless.To be fair, "Dinosaurs" had a few deep, relevant messages hidden in the pile of unwatchable fodder (what doesn't?). It was just too painful for most people to sit through long enough to see any of it. That's why this show didn't last long. It was actually TOO dumbed down for most people of the late '80s - early '90s period.It would probably outsell Family Guy if it were done today...And that's just sad.

I have a major bone to pick with "Dinosaurs". As it appears to be a kids' show, why did the producers forget to make it totally suck?! After all, there is an unwritten rule that says kids and their parents should not be able to watch and enjoy the same shows. With the exception of this show and "The Simpsons", I have noticed that kids' TV must be terrible, broadly written and annoying--such as with shows like "That's So Raven", "Hannah Montana" and the like. Shame on the creators of "Dinosaurs" to have imaginative characters, LOTS of inside jokes for adults, great Henson-created costumes and FUN! However, since the show only lasted two seasons, it appeared if some big-wigs at ABC realized their mistake and promptly canceled the show. Good for you--as this will insure insipid programming for our kids.

This show was so funny!It's my favorite TV show, I have to say. I'm so glad they are on DVD now. My husband and I watch them over and over. One of our favorites is the episode where Robby has to see the job wizard who tells Robby what career he's going to have for the rest of his life. I love Earl's co-workers reactions when he takes Robby to work with him! I wish they made more of them. The writers on this show were fantastic and very creative! And it's also a very family friendly show. It's amazing what incredible work the performers and puppeteers did. They don't get half the credit they deserve. The pilot episode is another one of my favorites. I love this show!!

That's how I felt when I saw this on ABC back in the early 90s!!!!!Disney's relation with Jim Henson (you know, the Muppets?) didn't start just a few years ago; no, no, it began waaaay before that, in 1991 with "Dinosaurs," made from the people who brought you the Muppets, "Boy Meets World," and of course, the GOOD Disney shows and movies of the old time!!!!!What I thought about this show: It's amazing. It's a family of (coughs)ANIMATRONIC(coughs) dinosaurs! Sorry for the spoiler, but I thought that it was amazing. Hey, I was little then!!!!! This was not only part of TGIF (was that true?), but this played on the Old Disney Channel in 1998 or so."Dinosaurs" is just out on DVD now, I remembered; go see this show and you will have fun!!!!!10/10
