- Crazy creditsThe Jim Henson Productions logo at the end of the credits features a pterodactyl that does something different from episode to episode (from a small assortment of 3 things, not something unique each time).
- Alternate versionsOriginal airings of season one featured a laugh track, which was deleted from all network repeats, syndicated re-runs, and home video releases.
- ConnectionsFeatured in The Best of Disney: 50 Years of Magic (1991)
- SoundtracksI'm a Dinosaur (I Can Do Whatever I Want)
Performed by Baby Sinclair
One other noteworthy episode is the last one- it appears that they knew that the show was cancelled, so they put together a parting shot; very different in tone from the rest of the series. Thank goodness this series FINALLY came out on DVD. Now I can throw all those videotapes away.
Watch this with your kids, if you have any. In the words of Baby dinosaur, "AGAIN!!!!!"
