What do you mean? They were people in suits, not real dinosaurs
You got any proof to back that claim up?
I mean, no, but dinosaurs went extinct hundreds of years ago
This. How could dinosaurs have survived so long? We would've stuck out by now.
lies
This show gave me nightmares for years as a child.
Same. My brain couldn’t accept the monstrous animatronics acting like regular humans. It must have triggered some uncanny valley fear response.
It didn’t help that they would go to the fridge to get a snack and their snack food was little mammal puppets that begged for their lives
That's how food works in China
I loved it and feared, a wild show
Don't look up the dad's middle name
>Earl Chuck Sinclair
What is wrong with his name?
The sign is a subtwe joke. The shop is cawwed "Sneed's Feed & Seed", whewe feed and seed both end in the sound "-eed", thus whyming with the name of the ownew, Sneed. The sign says that the shop was "Fowmewwy Chuck's", impwying that the two wowds beginning with "F" and "S" wouwd have ended with "-uck", whyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it wouwd have been cawwed "Chuck's Frick and Suck".
It actually goes a bit deeper than that. In the Antebellum South prior to the civil war, many local municipalities had strict zoning procedures which meant that business operating under a certain name had to remain the same for purposes of continuity. The idea was that if people in an area knew a local business as one thing, it had to remain that way. But a loophole was created in the wording of some ordinance which made it so that as long as it sounded the same, a business could change ownership without having to carry out the same function. One of the clever ways bushiness owners would circumvent this was by changing the name of the store to something that had recognizable continuity without actually selling the same product, ergo a small farming business called "Sneed's Feed & Seed" could become a brothel called "Chuck's Frick's and Sucks" or vice versa without applying for the proper city licenses by simply changing the nomenclature without arising suspicion from state inspectors.
a better time
I liked it . Basically it looked cool to me as a kid
The amount of talent needed to get this shit to work was insane. Millennialbros, I think we need to concede that we are lazier than previous gens because we've never done stuff like this.
Not the big guy!
No minorties demanding spicy casts for every fricking show
There's literally an episode about two legged dinosaurs being racist against four legged dinosaurs and another episode about the dinosaurs stealing blues music from mammals because the radio won't play mammal records, directly referencing how black music would be re-recorded with white people because radio wouldn't play race records.
they copied roseanne. there was also an abysmal English counterfeit of roseanne called 2.4 children with ray talentless scumbag shitston
>The Mighty Megalosaurus!
>cast not diverse
>dinosaurs not scientifically accurate
uhh chuds?
90s were prosperous and you could make a show like this that required alot of work costume wise. These days it would be way to expensive and impractical
I always wondered what it was like to watch this show as it was being made. Obviously the voices can't be coming out of the complicated animatronic suits and they would have to be dubbed in after the fact. It must have been complicated to make it work. Comedy is all about timing, and you're working with two sets of people with different takes on how the lines should be read.
I assume they did live reads with the voice actors? wasn’t this a Jim Henson production? that man was a genius
Literally got made because it was one of Jim Hensen's dying wishes. He conceived of a sitcom about a family of dinosaurs in 1988, but no studio wanted it. Then, after the Simpsons blew the frick up and executives were looking for more atypical family shows which followed a similar premise, this was pitched again as a way to do something weird and unexpected along similar lines, with the added benefit of being able to slap Hensen's name on it because it was his idea. If it happened ten years later, it would just be greenlit as an animated series. It's wild that it got made as a live action primetime television sitcom. I wish they'd do weird shit like this again. Even when it doesn't work, it's interesting
Do those practical effects people even exist anymore
I did not particularly love the baby.

It wasn’t even that funny the first time.
