- Crazy creditsThe Jim Henson Productions logo at the end of the credits features a pterodactyl that does something different from episode to episode (from a small assortment of 3 things, not something unique each time).
- Alternate versionsOriginal airings of season one featured a laugh track, which was deleted from all network repeats, syndicated re-runs, and home video releases.
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Best of Disney: 50 Years of Magic (1991)
- SoundtracksI'm a Dinosaur (I Can Do Whatever I Want)
Performed by Baby Sinclair
The family are like a Dinosaur version of The Simpsons only funnier and more entertaining with actual messages in their shows.
Jim Henson only created 65 episodes which was enough to put the show into syndication in the US.
The show was and is still well loved if you go by the amount of interest all Henson Dinosaurs ebay sales create. I own all the videos that were released in the Uk. I was annoyed to see there were holiday specials that never made it to VHS and will have to wait until there is ever an official DVD release.
This was an excellent show and provided me with many afternoons of entertainment and still does. I can still watch the video's and enjoy them on many levels especially "Ask Mister Lizard" which I love and think should have got it's own show.
RELEASE THE WHOLE THING ON DVD, PLEASE?
