Dinosaurs: The Complete Third And Fourth Seasons

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.

Love this show an it was not a disappointment wish there was more made

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.

Very happy to find and purchase this T.V. show collection. Gave it as a gift as they were excited to receive them and couldnt wait to watch.

I love this tv show and so funny! But I was confused, I got 4 disc of my dvd Season 3 and Season 4. But I got 2 same disc of 3 season of 10-19 episodes and last disc of 4 season of 8-14 episode, where is 4 season of 1-7 episode? I dont see any in my dvd.

Came earlier than expected. I grew up watching Dinosaurs so glad I found these!
