FOR ANY IRISH kid who had The Channels in the nineties, The Dinosaurs was the ultimate sitcom.
It was also shown on Network 2, but you’re never quite sure if it existed or if it was a dream.
IT EXISTED. And it was amazing.
1. It was about a god damn family of dinosaurs
The Sinclair family were family goals.
Earl, Fran, Robbie, Charlene, and Baby. We miss you.
2. Earl was the chillest dad ever
Besides the fact that he was a deadly Meglaosaurus, he put up with baby giving him hell and he still loved him with all his big dinosaur heart.
3. Baby Sinclair was a little lovable prick
Look at him, adorable.
Baby, we love you baby.
We still fondly think of the day you cracked out of an egg.
4. The merch was the most desired of all our childhoods
Remember the McDonald’s toys? So rare, so coveted.
5. The hidden names can only now be truly appreciated
Dinosaur News Network’s Howard Handupme was inspired.
6. Earl’s job was to literally push over trees
The Wesayso Corporation was again, an inspired name.
7. His boss was the scariest dinosaur on the planet
Leave us ALONE.
8. The finale was your first brush with trauma
Remember what happened? Earl’s company causes the ecosystem to go ape and his attempts to fix it brings on the ice age, effectively killing everyone. Pleasant.
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
9. Ah Dinosaurs, how we miss you
Even if you were slightly creepy.
10. NOT THE MOMMA
“Gotta love me”.
