Recommendation: 'Dinosaurs!'
Sep. 3rd, 2009 12:01 pmYou may remember this series way back from the Antidiluvian Broadcasting Company and Henson's Creature factory; the folks that brought you the 1st Yoda, 'The Dark Crystal' and 'Labyrnth'. A brilliant sitcom using folks in Dinosaur suits.
What makes it past just being funny is that it was able to touch "touchy" subjects without pissing off the Fundies. Homosexuality is touched on with "Is Robbie a Herbivore?", War in "We Are Right", smarmy anti-drug messages in "Please stop using drugs so they won't make us do stupid anti-drug shows", religion "What if we get folks who aren't happy with their present life to give us money for a better one after" and so on.
A lot of fun for the whole family...
Cheers,
Pat
