Dinosaurs: The Complete Third And Fourth Seasons

I ordered the first and second season dvd set back in 2012 and watched all the episode before later one trading in the set at local game shop. Having never watched the other seasons I thought to buy this set in addition to ordering again the first two season so I could have the complete set. I havent finished watching all the episodes but The Dinosaurs is great classic Disney sitcom that if your a 90s kid you should pick up and watch.

I enjoyed watching this show with my kids so I wanted to watch it again and remember how we all laughed.

The dinosaur family takes on social issues, human foibles, and daily life. They make it funny and you recognize many of the situations and people you must deal with. There are some great lines and ideas sprinkled in all the episodes. It reminds me of All in the Family plus the Cosby Show. Children will love it for the visual and what they are familiar with. But this is more than a kids series. It is the adults who will get the real deeper social discussions. And because it is dinosaurs making the comments, it is much harder to be offended.

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 am so happy to have found these videos. Good quality and the price was right too.

This tv series brought me back lol..Funny series!! Love that baby hahaha...Not the mama!! Haha..Thank You!!

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

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.

Great show

Im so happy to have this dvd. I loved it back when & it holds up to time.
