Episode 92: Dinosaurs

This week, your favorite retired puppet wranglers stomp into the latex-and-foam wonderland of the 1991 ABC sitcom Dinosaurs—the prehistoric family comedy that was part TGIF hug-fest, part biting social satire, and entirely animatronic absurdity. From Earl Sinclair’s mating dance to Baby’s wooden spoon, we dig into how Jim Henson’s Creature Shop brought the Stone Age to prime time—complete with full-body suits, radio-controlled faces, and enough sweat inside those costumes to fill a tar pit. Along the way, we unearth behind-the-scenes stories, meet the humans inside the dinos, and revisit the finale that traumatized an entire generation of unsuspecting children. It’s nostalgia with teeth, puppetry with purpose, and just enough Baby Sinclair to make you flinch. Because even 65 million years later, we’re still… not the mama.
