What can I say, I grew up on Dinosaurs, it's charm is apparant from the dvd title screen. It's a sit-com featuring Dinosaurs, and as such it also critiques humanity....things that they do seem outrageous, but the more you think about it the more its just making fun of us! The comedy is also top notch and while it may not be laugh out loud funny...it always gets a smile...and the baby makes the show, too cute (and insane!). Buy this set!

An interesting concept that basically takes a Flintstones premise and turns it around. While suffering from what appears to be canned laughter tracks there is some sharp writing here. They strike a good balance of slapstick and sight gags with some wittier stuff.
OK, modern life, but with dinosaurs, you could do a show like that, and it may last a while. The writers of the show however knew what they had was a tool to do some biting satire. By having a non-human cast and society they could poke fun at a lot of societal idiosyncrasies, or at times things that might otherwise be controversial. In short they used the premise they set up for full effect. See "Nuts to War" as a good example.
That, and something about seeing Baby on a sugar high flying around the room saying "I'm vibrating." made me laugh harder than I have in a long time.

I remember watching these shows when the first came on the air. It was great being able to watch them all again. :)

Dinosaurs
Love the product so far. Didn't see all the episodes yet but I'm assuming from the first disc that worked well that the others will as well. It got to me on time as well :)
