- Synopsis
- The Dinosaurs are an animatronics stone-age working-class family created by Jim Henson for Disney. Incredibly overweight, even for a dinosaur, Earl Sinclair is married to Fran and tries/fails to support 14-year-old valley girl Charlene, 16-year-old Robbie (whose crest eventually turns into a Mohawk and gets dyed purple), widowed, cranky Grandma Ethel, and terrible-twos Baby, the true master of the house. Sharp social commentary is featured surprisingly often; Earl is a tree-pusher for the Wesayso Development Corp., which regularly implements schemes to screw their workers even more and destroy the world for marginal profit increment. Chilled but live prey are kept in the refrigerator and are helpful when you can't find the milk, and caveman Humans make occasional appearances as wild animals and pets.

"The show's look is enchanting. The animatronics gimmick is a winner. Judging by my 4-year-old's enraptured response, these characters won't be extinct for a long time (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
-
"As in any sitcom, some of the storylines are mundane. But others are slightly more sophisticated, as members of the family think about their place in the universe, and their potential future (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
