I bought this show because I loved it as a child so I knew it would be nostalgic for me. I dont regret it. Its still an amazing movie and Ill always love it. Im so heavily satisfied and recommend this to everyone.

Good quality

My children and I LOVE this show. Its a silly sit com that explores some important issues. We have come to have fond feelings for the members of the Dinosaur Family, and find ourselves quoting the show often. I do want to add a spoiler for the controversial last episode. The DVD includes a discussion of the controversy. And imo, it would have been better if theyd done something besides extincting the dinosaurs (INCLUDING THE BABY!?!) There was so much fantasy and imagination involved in watching a dinosaur family who lived in a house, celebrated Refrigerater Day, had teen agers going to high school and other regular family things. They werent REAL dinosaurs. We understand that scientifically speaking, the dinosaurs did become extinct. But this is a fictional dinosaur family! Perhaps after the show was canceled the angered writers spitefully killed off the family in the final show! We SO WISH we hadnt ever seen that episode! Saddens us to go back and watch the other episodes now... (Although we DO. Putting our mourning away for awhile.)

I have run into few people who are familiar with this vastly under-appreciated television series, but clearly those who have seen it have recognized its unique genius. Once the viewer gets accustomed to actors wearing dinosaur costumes, the facial movements of which are operated remotely by skilled puppeteers, it becomes apparent that this is a brilliant version of a standard sit-com format: somewhat buffoonish, long-suffering everyman father (Earl), somewhat more astute wife/mother (Fran), rebellious teenage Son (Robbie),clueless, materialistic daughter (Charlene) and somewhat malevolent but entertaining Baby. The stunning originality of this series rests on three very strong foundations: the writers, who have built in some of the wittiest social, cultural and political satire ever seen in a TV series; the puppeteers (Volume I includes an excellent feature explaining how its all done), whose astounding abilities are evident in the astonishing variety of facial expressions they are able to give the dino-characters; and the actors who have to navigate the sets in cumbersome costumes, often without being able to see what they are doing. The astounding synchronization of movement, expression and dialogue make this an unforgettable viewing experience. I have watched few television shows that caused me to laugh aloud regularly - this one never fails. There are numerous priceless moments, as in Season 3s disc two episode Dirty Dancin, wherein at one point Earl brags to Fran about his mating abilities - the look on Frans face is worth the price of the whole series - I have watched it again and again. It is a testament to the high art of the puppeteers. My only regret about this series is that it ran only four seasons. This review likewise applies to Volume I of the series.

I grew up watching this tv show and I have an 8-year old daughter who was asking about it and we bought to watch as a family. She loves it!

I ordered the complete set for my son. He had 3 episodes on VHS that he use to watch when he was little and for some reason, they stuck with him. He came across the VHS the other day still got a kick out of them and had mentioned that he would love to see more of the episodes. So, I got online, ordered them, they came in a timely fashion and he loved them. When hes happy, Im happy.
