Dinosaurs is an American family sitcom that was originally broadcast on ABC from April 26, 1991 to July 20, 1994. The show, about a family of anthropomorphic dinosaurs (portrayed by puppets), was produced by Michael Jacobs Productions and Jim Henson Productions in association with Walt Disney Television and distributed by Buena Vista International, Inc..
The show utilized voice actors for the characters, which are performed by different actors and puppeteers.
News stories written at the time of the show's premiere highlighted Dinosaurs' connection to Jim Henson, who had died the year before. "Jim Henson dreamed up the show's basic concept about three years ago," said a New York Times article in April 1991. "'He wanted it to be a sitcom with a pretty standard structure, with the biggest differences being that it's a family of dinosaurs and their society has this strange toxic life style,' said [his son] Brian Henson. But until The Simpsons took off, said Alex Rockwell, a vice president of the Henson organization, 'people thought it was a crazy idea.'"

Genres: Animation, Comedy, Family, Short,(I can promise you) Things will be different
I've been trying to sweeten up all of this bitterness
I keep from going crazy, I keep from staying still
I closed the door to memories that come and haunt me
still
nothing's getting done, holding on angry and jaded
I have come full circle growing more and more frustrated
send me down to hell before I get much older
what about the heartbreakers, meat eaters, and voters?
every bridge I built was set to burn right from the start
I'll walk alone, and heroes, better off with faith in god
extinct, extinct, extinct
so disgusted, totally fucked
we're shaking trees for the chance that some food will
