Dinosaurs was an great show. I'm pretty sure we have tlaked about it on these forums before though.

In any case, the baby is cute.

I loved Dinosaurs! It was one of my favorite series at the time. The final episode was sad

 

[Mega Man's Electric Sheep]

I loved the episode where the son was a vegetarian and Earl said to Fran "This is all your fault! Your family always ate from the other side of the plate!" And then Earl went to a vegetarian bar to find him. It was a not-so-subtle nod to gay teens coming out, and it was hilarious. I thought the show was brilliant like that: fun for kids but a whole other level for adults.

My second favourite episode? The one where Charlene's stubby tail grew into a long women's tail, and she asked the grandma whether to swing it or let it drag. "Swing it honey! Nice girls don't drag." Then she came home from her date crying that "My date left me for a girl with a bigger tail."

Wow, Nostalgia rush.

I have an episode on my computer. I loved the show.

 

[bjork]

Shaka and the sleestaks could best the Dinosaurs crew in a match to the death.

 

[ZootedGranny]

Carl Everett also doesn't believe this tv show ever existed.

 

[Quadrophenic]

can someone describe the final episode? I remember watching that series...I remember the vegitarean one, the one about the afterlife, and the one where the dad gets laid off (I think?).

 

[MetatronM]

There were really 65 episodes? I only remember about 6 or something like that.

What's really weird is my sister starting watching our old tapes of the show a couple days ago. Strange.

I actually also saw an episode of Dinosaurs on TV while I was in Japan. Now that was REALLY weird.

Ahahahahaha. Please tell me it was dubbed! I will BUY THAT if it is dubbed! "Mama janai!"?

I'm pretty sure it was subbed, but the TV was on the English setting, so I don't know for sure if there was an alternate dubbed version.

It was on the Disney Channel, I think.

 

[Red Dolphin]

Damn I need to get a hold of the series of Alf and Dinosaurs.

Any news on Alf's new talk show that's supposed to be coming out soon?

 

[Baron Aloha]

What happened on the final episode?

 

[mosaic]

My favorite episode revolved around a dinosaur named Sexual Harris... "What Sexual Harris Meant"

"I'm the baby, gotta love me!"

 

[B'z-chan]

Oh holy shit to think after all these years i was actually able to wipe this shit out of my mind. But you want to know something when i read the thread titile my eyes flash before my life and i was like OMG. I clicked thread and yeep it was about the Tv show and i nearly died.

But baby was funny shit it was a good show.

I loved this show, probably more than any other sitcom at the time. Never missed an episode, and taped quite a few of them to watch over and over and over and over and over... Drove my parents nuts.

 

[tt_deeb]

Wow, Nostalgia rush.

Same here.

 

[sc0la]

I like the christmas episode where all the carols are about consumerism. "We wish you a merry Xmas and hope you buy paint!"

The B.P. Richfield costume was simply incredible. I wish I could get it somehow.
