Description:
They're huge. They’re pre-hysterical. The Sinclairs are back in their final two seasons of Earth-shaking fun as they face the challenges of everyday life in sixty million and three BC. Baby turns two – and into a total terror. Daddy Earl confronts his 'diaperphobia.' Charlene’s theory that the world is round lands her in scholastic hot water. Robbie deals with overwhelming pubescent urges, and in the final controversial episode, the family’s jumpin' Jurassic lifestyle gets the big chill. The brainosauraus of Jim Henson, the award-winning comedy series brings state-of-the-art puppetry and audioanimatronics to the screen -- and a whole new meaning to the words 'family fun.' Add Seasons 3 and 4 to your collection of evolutionary entertainment – and get ready to rock your funny bones. Includes featurette 'I'm the Baby, Gotta Love Me,' with music video located at the end of episode five.

Families and civilizations are, on the most fundamental level, built on relationships. The third and fourth (final) seasons of the 1991 television series Dinosaurs delve deeply into the relationships between the individual members of the Sinclair dinosaur family while simultaneously tackling huge societal issues like sexism, rising medical costs, the negative influence of television and advertising, environmentalism and conservationism, and the modern relevance of faith and ritual to everyday life with fervency and an abundance of slapstick humor. Parents can't help but relate to the extreme characterization of Baby Sinclair as completely possessed by evil upon entering his 'Terrible Twos' and will laugh hysterically at Baby's response to the ineffective 'solutions' of Dr. Piaget, the babysitter, and his parents. Teenage rebellion and the angst of growing up are just as outrageously satirized in episodes like 'The Son Also Rises' and 'Charlene's Flat World' and Dinosaur writers poke fun at the debate about the effects of television and advertising on young children and society in virtually every episode. The complex issue of conservationism becomes all too personal to Earl in 'If You Were a Tree' when he and a tree inadvertantly switch bodies and environmentalism becomes an intergalactic issue in 'We Are Not Alone.' Bonus features include seven never-before-seen-on-television episodes that deal with everything from the rituals of growing up to family bonding and the perils of materialism; optional audio commentary for the 'Nature Calls' and 'Into the Woods' episodes; a look at the incredibly funny, self-absorbed character of Baby with writer Kirk Thatcher, executive producer Brian Henson, and actor/puppeteer Kevin Clash; and a discussion about some of the causes behind the Dinosaurs series and how the program's format made it possible to address such far-reaching issues. Because Dinosaurs functions on dual levels, appealing both to children with its silly puppet antics and adults with its pointed social commentary, some parental guidance may be in order for children under 9 years. --Tami Horiuchi

Rating:  - Dinosaurs Seasons 3 and 4
This box set contains both season 3 and 4 of Dinosaurs- the situational comedy by Jim Henson Productions. Each episode looks great on DVD and the menus are easy to navigate.
The only disappointing thing is that there are only 2 audio commentries and only 3 behind the scenes featurettes. The commentries are very funny and Kevin Clash the Puppeteer/ Voice of Baby (also the puppeteer/voice of Elmo) provides wonderful insights. I wanted to hear more but there are only the 2 commentries.
Rating:  - The Dinosaurs
Laughter at ourselves through the dinosaurs. For chidren or adults. We bought it for adults.
Rating: - Life Lessons with Scales (v.2)
I bought this pack along with the Season 1 and 2 pack, so I was able to compare each season and each DVD back-to-back.
The case is different in that this one does not have the outer cardboard case. However, the menu inside is the same, and the disc storing is the same. As I said in my other review, my only issue here was with how the discs were secured in the case. They tend to not stay put much; this isn't an issue for me as I put my DVDs in soft-shell cases and store the original ... Read More

Rating: - Dinosaurs, the TV show
We were very pleased to find this television series on DVD, and happy to share it with our eleven year old. Also, our twenty and twenty-five years old were glad to see them again.
