Dinosaurs: TV Guide News

Prehistoric beings toil in mundane, suburban settings in this odd twist on the sitcom genre. The series was produced in part by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, which used `audio-animatronics' to create the domesticated dinosaurs' strangely human expressions.

You and every other critic ... | Matt Roush | 10/8/2007
Question: You and every other critic warned us that Cavemen was horrible, but I decided to check it out anyway. I imagined it as a traditional comedy that just used the cavemen issue for the occasional good joke. In fact, I thought it would be just as silly but as fun as Dinosaurs was in the early '90s. But instead of a show that acknowledged its silly gimmick, I found a show that actually thinks it is genius. I felt like the people behind the show were screaming, "Look at us! We are quirky!

Sounds like a winner to me. While 90210 will be a decent set, it'll also contain a lot of music substitutions.Warner Bros. is also releasing the first season of What I Like About You, though it'll have a different theme song on the DVD set (check out the previous blog entry regarding theme songs); Fox has the second se... read more
