Dinosaurs: The Complete Third And Fourth Seasons

I used to love this show when it was on years ago. I thought about it again a few years ago and checked to see if it was on my on-demand cable feature--not there. I dont know why I never thought of checkng if there was a DVD set I could buy until a friend mentioned she had the set (actually two sets). I bought both. I love watching it as much as I did when the new shows were on TV.

This was one of my favorite shows growing up, and was a great purchase. I am glad to be able to share this part of my childhood with my daughter, in which she has watched these over and over again. One of my best purchases ever!!!

VERY FUNNY. ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS FROM MY CHILDHOOD. IM 34 NOW & THIS SHOW IS STILL FUNNY. THANK YOU AMAZON.

Excellent product I enjoyed it!

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.

This is a series I could watch over and over again. The frank discussion of serious social issues is done in a mix of hilarity and seriousness. The family of five combines reality and fantasy, cutting through false assumptions and pitting reality against stupidity. It deals with everything from anti-union employers to Robbys fling with steroids and teenage insecurity about size issues reduced to a discussion of the daughters tail. Most episodes have several plot lines working together. I never met a Dinosaur I didnt like one way or another.

Love this show. Its awkward and strange, but there is some charm to it and fun to be had. 10/10 Earl a thicc snacc

Loved it. Its been a long time since I have seen it. Great condition

my husband and i enjoyed this show when it was on, and we wanted our son to enjoy it too and he does.

Got it for my niece for her birthday. Shes obsessed with dinosaurs. She loves it better since its dinosaurs in a kid-friendly comedy show. I loved this growing up, and now we can watch it together. I bought a second set for myself, so I have something fun to watch.
