Need Help Remembering 1990's Television Show

[Wish Upon A Star]

Ok all you smart DISers . . .

DH and I were talking about a show that aired sometime in the 90's on Friday Nights (we think). It was about a dinosaur family. The father dinosaur was a construction worker . . .

Anyone remember the name of this show??

Thanks in advance.

I think the show was actually called Dinosaurs

I thought it was just called Dinosaurs, too

Here's a link to IMDB on it: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101081/

It was a Disney/Jim Henson production, actually.

Yeah, and it had the baby dinosaur who called her father "Not the mama"

My two year old DD who of course never saw the original show watches the videos we have and she loves them except now she hits my husband on the head and says, "Not the Mama!! AND when she's in trouble she also ties to tell us, "I'm the baby, gotta love me." She's a very entertaining little girl.

I love that show!! I liked it when they were having a fight between someone else and they were carrying the signs that said:

We
Are
Right

I still laugh about that one when thinking about current situations.

And don't forget the Dinosaur News Network (DNN) and their commentator (obviously a puppet) whose name was Howard Handupme. And the family name Sinclair which was a reference to an oil company. And what about the grandmother. Grandma Ethyl Phillips (most likely a reference to what we do at the gas pumps where we fill up our cars with ethyl - or maybe a reference to Phillips Oil). Sherman Hemsley played BP Richfield (another couple of oil company references). And the best friend was Roy Hess. And Hess is yet another oil company reference.

The show was refreshingly funny. I remember that all the food in the refrigerator was alive and would talk back whenever the fridge door was opened. I wonder how long before that series will come out on DVD.
