Did you like Dinosaurs when it first debuted? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This morning I got to see Dinosaurs on Disney+ and I cannot believe how funny it still is than when it first aired. And the Sinclair Family showed what today's families would be like today and Baby Sinclair is just so funny as well. I bet you the creators of Dinosaurs got the idea to name the family Sinclair after Sinclair Gas Station because the mascot is a dinosaur too. But it's such a funny sitcom that has held up over time and is still a treat to watch. And who can resist Baby Sinclair's famous phrase "Not The Mama" that was one of the funniest lines of the show

Hi, Bestie! Yes I liked Dinosaurs. It was original, funny and had good characters. "Not the Momma!" is still funny! I wish they would remake it. Also I thought the special effects were very good.

I vaguely remember it. It was sort of silly, sort of a “The Honeymooners” with human like dinosaurs, except these dinosaurs had kids, plus an annoying baby in a high chair. Had Sherman Hemsley as the voice of the lead character.

It is one of those programs that was on for a few years and then forgotten about. No reruns, no real nostalgic fan base. Just a weird experimental show that worked well enough for a few years, cheap to make which made ABC a few bucks.

Sherman Hemsley wasn't the voice of the lead character. He was the voice of the lead character's boss.

I've seen the show in syndication (reruns) but not in a lot of years.

Yes, I enjoyed it. The animatronics were really well done, and often very subtle. The final episode, which introduced the Ice Age, was also very well done.

Like YF said, the baby could get annoying.

Yes, he was hilarious!

Kind of a Mr. Slate from the Flintstones type tough boss ! Instead of " FLINTSTONE " , he would say " SINCLAIR" !!!

I loved hearing the baby say, "Again!"

God bless you always!!!
