Created before the days of computer animation, Dinosaurs is an early 1990s television comedy series featuring impressive anthropomorphic, animatronic creatures created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. The story lines challenge some of society's most basic assumptions and explore some of the most universally troublesome aspects of "civilized" life. Set in six million three BC, the Sinclairs are your "typical" blue-collar dinosaur family attempting to adjust to the relatively new concept of communal living. The adjustments of moving from a nomadic lifestyle to one of domestication and social interaction are many, and challenging issues like the concepts of right and wrong, faith, and the intricacies of family relationships are forever besieging this every-man's family. Naturally, the Sinclair family approach is to address each obstacle with an abundance of slapstick comedy. The Dinosaurs episodes regularly function on dual levels: the puppetry and silly antics like Baby Sinclair's penchant for hitting her father over the head with a pan while hollering "Not the Mama" appeal to even the youngest children, but the often pointed social commentary and sometimes mature themes are squarely aimed at an adult audience. As a result, parental discretion and guidance are key in determining whether this series is appropriate for children under 9 or 10 years old. --Tami Horiuchi

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5

1) Way better the Simpson   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is the best episod ever done, Even better than i remeber it from the early 90-s. Suits both childeren and older and the has the perfect combination of good moral values and a sarcastic satir over the western society. I love it

2) Great, fun entertainment   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I loved it. It's fun, cute, and even shows good values, but a few bad words here and there.

3) Excellent Series   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Although little kids could enjoy this series, it has plenty for adults. There is lots of subtle sarcasm and social commentary that makes the show even funnier. It is not your typical "cartoon" show. Definitely worth watching.

4) Get this for your kids!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I bought this for my niece's 11th birthday a few months ago. At her age, she had never heard of the show! She loved it from the very beginning and I plan to get her seasons 3 & 4 for Christmas! (along with this, consider introducing your kids to Alf and the Muppets!)

5) dinosaurs season 1 and 2   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
I found this series as funny as when I saw it many years ago with my daughter when she was little.
