TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jan 15 Dinosaurs is a wildly creative sitcom that still stands out for its originality. On the surface, it looks like a family comedy with characters in bulky dinosaur costumes, but underneath is a sharp satire packed with social commentary. Earl and Fran Sinclair are memorable leads, grounding the show in familiar sitcom dynamics while the prehistoric setting keeps it fresh. The Baby, despite never having a proper name, steals the series with dark humor and the iconic "Not the mama," making him the show’s breakout star. The siblings and Grandma Ethyl add exaggerated but intentional humor, with Grandma delivering some of the sharpest lines. Season one does a great job establishing the world, blending family comedy with critiques of work culture and society. However, watching it today reveals dated editing, pacing, and sound design that may struggle to hold modern kids’ attention. Even so, Dinosaurs remains a bold, funny, and ahead-of-its-time series that’s still worth revisiting. See more 02/15/2020 Dinosaurs was a show that absolutely should be seen by everyone. The puppets may look really outdated at this point, but for 1991, it's really well-made. The biggest surprise of the show, however, is not in the puppets or Baby Saur's cute antics, but in how the social commentary and satire manages to remain fresh until the 21st Century and onwards. Themes that were hard  to be talked about, especially in a show that had somewhat of a kids appeal, were brilliantly tackled here, such as teenagehood's difficulties, environmental risks, feminism, religions and worker's conditions. Plus, it manages to satire the whole concept of the 'Family Sitcom' with maestry. Still fresh, Dinosaurs is a must for the ones who like reflection and a good dose of fun.
