DINOSAURS: THE MIGHTY MEGALOSAURUS {SERIES PREMIERE} (TV)
Summary
One in this comedy series about the Sinclairs, a family of dinosaurs. In the premiere episode, Earl Sinclair tells his baby son about a time when dinosaurs lived in the forest and ruled the world instead of living in houses and raising families, which leads him to reminisce about the circumstances surrounding Baby's birth. In a flashback sequence, Earl has just lost his job when his wife, Fran, announces that she has laid an egg. With a wife and two teenaged children to support, Earl is worried that they will not be able to afford another dinosaur. Longing for freedom from financial woes and family responsibilities, Earl storms out of the house and goes for a walk in the woods. He enjoys his freedom in the forest and reflects fondly on his ancestral roots, until he comes across Arthur Rizzic, a small creature who had escaped from becoming the Sinclairs' dinner, who reminds him about the importance of family. Commercials deleted.
