- 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)

Performed by Baby Sinclair
I really enjoyed it, though I can understand that why it wouldn't appeal to a lot of the TV audience. First of all, the average channel flipper probably wouldn't watch a Muppet-style show long enough to follow the storyline, characters, and jokes. Secondly, the dry wit wouldn't have been to the taste of some of the audience that did give it a few minutes. Still, if King of the Hill has managed to maintain enough of a demographic to stay on the air as long as it has, Dinosaurs should have been able to get a longer run as well... it was a much better show (IMO).
This is one of the few series I would buy on DVD. Hope to see it eventually available.
