say how much I miss this show.
One of the funniest shows I ever watched !!
Dinosaurs is an American television sitcom that was originally broadcast on ABC from April 26, 1991 to July 20, 1994. It was produced by Michael Jacobs Productions and Jim Henson Productions in association with Walt Disney Television about a family of anthropomorphic dinosaurs. The world of Dinosaurs is a parody of human society.
The show is initially set in 60,000,003 BC with the years, months and days counting toward zero (in the first episode, Robbie asks his father if he ever questions what they are counting down to). The show centers on the Sinclair family (a reference to Sinclair Oil Corporation which uses a dinosaur as its logo) - the father (Earl Sinclair, a reference to Earl Holding, Sinclair Oil's principal owner), the mother (Fran Sinclair), the son (Robbie Sinclair), the daughter (Charlene Sinclair), the baby (Baby Sinclair), and the grandmother (Ethyl Phillips, a reference to Phillips Petroleum and ethyl gasoline) (curiously, they all appear to belong to wildly different species: Earl, Fran and Robbie look like carnivorous dinosaurs, and Charlene resembles an ceratopsian herbivore). Earl's job is to push over trees for the Wesayso Corporation (alluding to the fact that petroleum comes from compressed trees and other organic matter, keeping with the petroleum theme of the show) with his friend and coworker Roy Hess (Hess Corporation is another regional petroleum chain). Another reference to petroleum companies is Earl's boss, named B.P. Richfield. Earl's employer, the Wesayso Corporation's logo also is a reference to DuPont Chemical's traditional oval logo.
One of the most popular characters on the show is the mischievous Baby, occasionally referred to as "Junior" until the second season where he was officially named "Baby Sinclair". Baby Sinclair's mannerisms were loosely based on writer and producer Bob Young's youngest child Ethan.[citation needed]
His favorite pastime is to hit Earl repeatedly over the head with a frying pan while shouting, "Not the mama!" Frequently, when Baby should be hurt (such as after having been hurled through the air), he will throw his arms up enthusiastically and exclaim, "Again!" A music video was produced for a song based on another of Baby's catchphrases, "I'm the Baby, Gotta Love Me".
