Despite having the look and feel of a children’s show, Dinosaurs had a satirical bent and touched upon topics like censorship, civil rights, drug use, the rights of indigenous peoples, and even environmentalism, which played a huge role in the series finale.
This unlikely hit centers around Earl Sneed Sinclair, a megalosaurus who works as a tree-pusher at the WESAYSO Development Corporation, and his family as they work through the banality of life in prehistoric Pangaea.
It’s almost hard to believe that Dinosaurs, a sitcom about a family of anthropomorphic dinosaurs, aired for four seasons during the height of ABC’s TGIF format, which seems like either way too few or way too many.
