FIRST TIME EVER ON DVD! The Ground-Breaking, Award-Winning, Thunderously Entertaining Show From Disney and Jim Henson Productions DINOSAURS The Complete First And Second Seasons Mega-Talented Cast and Guest Stars Plus Big Bonus Features Add Up To A DVD Box Set Of Prehysteric Fun On May 2 BURBANK, Calif., January 20, 2006 – Because thundering hordes of fan-osaurs demanded it, Disney and Jim Henson Productions present DINOSAURS: THE COMPLETE FIRST AND SECOND SEASONS, available for the first time ever on DVD May 2. One of the most-requested TV shows that fans have roared for on DVD, Dinosaurs is the critically-acclaimed, award-winning comedy series set in 60,000,003 B.C., starring the Sinclairs, a hilarious family of very modern dinosaurs. Their comedic antics and continuing family relationships provide a humorous look at our own society today. The show features a talented vocal cast and big-time guest stars, and the multi-disc DVD set boasts exclusive bonus features including a never-before-seen look at the making of Dinosaurs. For fans of the show and new audiences, all the laughs and fun of DINOSAURS: THE COMPLETE FIRST AND SECOND SEASONS are ready to own in a DVD box set for $39.99 (S.R.P.). Based on an idea by Jim Henson, Dinosaurs is a live-action series which employs Jim Henson Productions’ puppetry and audio animatronics from Henson’s fabled Creature Shop. Combined with smart writing and hilarious characters, Jim Henson Productions’ ground-breaking puppet technology created a show which won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Art Direction (1991), the coveted Parents Choice Award for Television (1992), Parents Choice Gold Seal Award (1992), the Environmental Media Award (1991, 1993), Genesis Award (1991), the New York Film Festival Silver Medal for Family Programming Award (1992) and the Chicago International Film Festival Silver Hugo Award (1993). Dinosaurs’ vocal cast features all-time TV favorites Sherman Helmsley (TV’s “The Jeffersons”) and Sally Struthers (TV’s “All In The Family”), with a guest star list that includes Jason Alexander, Michael Richards and Julia Louis-Dreyfus (all of TV’s “Seinfeld” fame), Tim Curry (“Valiant”) and legendary comedian Buddy Hackett (“The Love Bug”).
BONUS FEATURES:
• PRE-HYSTERICAL TIMES: THE MAKING OF ‘DINOSAURS’ This featurette is a never-before-seen look at how Jim Henson’s Creature Shop brought Dinosaurs to life.
• THE ART OF DINOSAURS Character Designer Kirk Thatcher takes viewers through his original designs for Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs chronicles the story of the highly-evolved and hysterically funny Sinclair family, whose daily adventures may be the most comic in pre-history. Earl Sinclair (Stuart Pankin) is a bombastic, middle-aged Megalosaurus. A blue-collar dinosaur, Earl has worked as a tree pusher for 24 years. Fran (Jessica Walter) is Earl’s even-tempered Allosaurus wife. Their two adolescent children are Robbie (Jason Willinger), the 14-year-old with unconventional beliefs, and Charlene (Sally Struthers), the 12-year old, two-ton epitome of a material girl who never finishes talking or shopping. Completing the family are Baby (Kevin Clash), the attention-grabbing newborn, and Grandma Ethyl (Florence Stanley), Fran’s mother who opposes Earl on everything. They’re joined by Roy Hess (Sam McMurray), Earl’s best friend, co-worker and a confirmed bachelor Tyrannosaurus, and B.P. Richfield (Sherman Hemsley), Earl’s ferocious Triceratops boss. Dinosaurs is a production of Michael Jacobs Productions and Jim Henson Productions in association with Walt Disney Television. Executive Producer Michael Jacobs, Co-Executive Producer Brian Henson, Supervising Producer Bob Young. Produced by Mark Brull, Co-Producer Jeff McCracken, Co-Producer Kirk R. Thatcher.

Looks like Best Buy has the best price this week.
$29.99
Of course most places price match these days, but you need to know the prices before you can take advantage of it!

Walmart is only $1 higher.

Nope, you're not old enough, but at least it's also for the nostalgic fans of this show, and a few others. Just remember this about the Dinosaurs DVD Boxset - "Tell Mommy: I want that!"

Ok I got it and it is awesome! So many great childhood memories of watching this with my 2 older siblings and yelling "NOT THE MAMMA!" and "I'm the Baby, gotta love me!" I can't wait for the next seasons. I want to own a copy of the "I'm the Baby, gotta love me" music video, so I can watch it anytime I want. hey what episode did that air in? Also I wish "Terrible Twos" aired in the 1st/2nd season so I could be watching it right now. That episode was one of the funniest! I love it when the baby throws the baby psychologist(or whatever they where) out the window and then the parents come in the room and the baby is all demonic and evil and the parents say something like "What happened!?" and the baby says "They needed a time out!" It cracks me up everytime! I totally remember that like it was yesterday!

You have to remember that this series took place in 1991 and many of the social comments reflect the current events of that time. The episode where Monica goes to court over sexual harassment by "Sexual" Harris parallels the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings with Anita Hill. This was a well done series with a lot of social commentary.

I bought this and was a bit disappointed in the quality. The picture is a bit on the fuzzy side, and only has 2.0 sound, but at any rate, it's still a damn funny show and worth the money.

I didn't fing the picture to be so fuzzy I noticed it. 2.0 or sound or not, when it's pumped through surround sound, it's fine.

You can't beat the price on it though.
