@nero140892 I wish they would too. However, I'll be pleased if they at least make some sort of obscure reference to the show in the new Muppets movie, seeing as how there's an evil oil tycoon and everything ....
What a load of crap. Who thought this was a good idea for a childrens program?
"Lets have our main character destroy the world for everyone on our show can be sentenced to a horrible death. Let's also pound a pretty worthless message about man destroying nature because we're so greedy. Yeah the kids will love it!"
@HighVoltage278 Yeah, and with all the weirdness from oil companies nowadays, this show should be put back on the air. Although, maybe having BP be in charge of destroying the world (yeah, Earl went along with it, but BP ordered it) wouldn't sit well when BP royally screwed up the Gulf Coast. Still, it's amazing how well the writers of this show knew its business.
You know, I always really loved the series specifically because of this ending. Even when I was a kid watching it after school back when I was in first or second grade.
@LuigiSuper64 well, technically it's implied more than anything. For contrary evidence, there's the fourth-wall breaking, which implies they're alive at the time of taping the episodes (in a modern, human-run world), and in Earl and Pearl, an announcer mentions the planet being cool, which shouldn't happen yet if the episode is supposed to predate the finale. I just consider it a finale designed to be the polar opposite of Fraggle Rock and nothing more. They all live on anyway IRL.
@melesio87 Actually, it's my thought as well that the finale was part of the show (there are several times where the 4th wall is broken and they admit it's just a show). The idea that the other eps are meant to be retconned prior to the finale doesn't make sense. Some characters undergo a very visible physical alteration toward the end. They did NOT look like their final forms prior to that. And, of course, that one line in Earl and Pearl implies that the snowstorm blew over eventurally.
i think this show was great. I bought all the dvd's recently. . . . Dark or not, it was a very diverse show, funny, sad and even serious, thats what makes a good show, even if it is a cartoon, or muppet type show
@mikegrandal Personally, I go with the "all Muppets and most Creatures are just actors and are fully aware they are filming in the present day" thing. This wasn't a kid's show, it was a "family" show that was really designed to entertain adults. In other episodes they break the fourth wall, including commercial bumpers for the show at other times of the day. The dinosaur cast are basically dinosaur actors pretending this show. It's basically the exact opposite of Fraggle Rock in theme.
@mikegrandal how did they know on the ozone? How did they have the ability to love money and use phones....it is a tv sitcom....they can break the fourth wall bro
Man I hate that the series had too end this way, I almost cried when baby sinclair asked his daddy what was going to happen to them and earl didnt want him to be scared of dying, but some how I think the baby kinda knew what he ment but wasnt sure cauz he was scared of what the answer might be, I dont blame Earl if that were my child I and I had to look him in the eyes I wouldnt do that to him either, I think I will miss baby Sinclair the most out of this series
@MLK010 You know, the bizarre thing, something that a paper could be written about assuredly, is that Dinosaurs is a show where death is mocked and treated as completely expected on a daily basis -- but then everyone gets depressed about this. Huh? You can shrug off your kid getting eaten by a Swamp Monster but not getting frozen by a blizzard? You can engage in a parental fight to the death ... but this time you're sad? It's a really fascinating psychological concept.
@imjessietr29 guess so I mean they had to end the series because of this episode, because and the fact that it might be disturbing to younger viewers.....but still hate it had to end this way this was a good show I dont care what anyone else says
It's sad but at least the Sinclair family will have perished together.
I imagine Mr Richfield will die in quite another way though.Sad and lonely amongst his money pile,that he mistakenly thought could save him.
But I think some people forget that the Dinosaurs verse has an afterlife,as seen in one of the episodes.So it's really not that sad after all when you realize that they will all be together again forever once they died.
@gtw1983 Yeah, at least they have an afterlife. One wonders what Richfield's "Not So Nice" room would look like, though. And the weird thing is, I'm really more upset about Richfield not even mentioning the daughter he obsessed over than I am him just being greedy -- and one wonders how he got all that money anyway, as he doesn't run Wesayso. He's just a foreman for one project.
I can see Richfields 'bad place' being the same as the one Ethyl experienced.Namely being stuck in a room full of Earl Sinclairs for eternity...Lol.He seems to hate Earl a good bit than he does most other people.
And I know what you mean about his loose ends.I think it would have been a better ending to have had him humbly admit he was wrong for once.Then he abandons his money to go spend his remaining time with his mom and daughter.
But the way he turned out I had no remorse for him at all.
if there was ever a last godzilla film it would end with all human race gone. cause when you think about this show has to do with the same effects and sorta speech that godzilla films mention in fact they always mention something that us humans have done to nature. like in final wars do you really think godzilla wanted to let go his anger after all the pain and agony we put on him. think of this way when he got mutated by the atom bomb lagos blew up too. that was his home
i agree with mental maladies us humans are technically the smartest beings on the planet....well when you think about are we smart at all really with the enivormental destruction,the warfare,every human being wants the world to be better but in my opoion our wrold will never be any better. just look at the godzilla films for example. there is no happy ending really.
I can still remember this episode as a child, it made me cry. To this day actually seeing this ending still makes me sad, but it is in those final moments when Howard Handupme says "Goodnight" (looks down) "....Goodbye!" That moment makes me want to cry!
@MentalMaladies Yeah, it's certainly bone-chilling. (no pun intended)
However, I think part of the reason a lot of people can't stand it is that we as humans are uncomfortable with finality, be it personal loss, death, extinction ... whatever. We WANT the happy ending because sad endings suck. However, sometimes in life ... there just IS no happy ending. And if one counts death, then everyone eventually gets a sad ending. It's important to ensure the plot has more ups than downs, then.
@pucpimp LOL, I know, right? They should re-air Dinosaurs JUST to capitalize on a joke gifted to us from Baby Jesus. :P I mean, who knew a simple TV show would predict that BP might actually destroy the world? LOL.
Its pretty interesting that this episode warns of environmental catastrophy while at the same time it becomes an indictment of science being able to fix everything AND..most importantly...a metaphor for the tragedy of the commons.
@Beany695 O_O Well, uh ... BP is an oil company that slacked off in the safety department and now the Gulf of Mexico below the US is drenched in oil. Numerous wildlife in danger and countless jobs destroyed ... we should all rename these morons Wesayso.
@ExclusiveCheese As a kid I couldn't help thinking about how the family would have to see the others going down one-by-one (Ethel or Baby going first) or hopefully in their sleep.
wow lol i remeember seeing bits ad pieces of this show when i was little i cant remember much from it i do remember getting the dinosaur toys from mcdonalds or bk i forget which it was but wow sad that they all had to die =(
@RockyBalboa211 I dunno. They weren't really averse to mocking Disney, especially with the theme park episode. As I understand it, this was always going to be the ending, even in the planning stages.
On the other hand, the 4th wall breaking (characteristic of Muppetdom) suggests this was just a show, and the "real" Sinclairs are living here and now.
@imjessietr29: Agree, I mean even the simpsons, which is more of an adult show, said that this "dinosaur" show captured them more than any other show did..
I remember when i was a kid... but i tought it had some more episodes....... so this was the end....
A deal with the devil i might say, that DinoBoss living his capitalist dream at the cost of the end of the world..... this serie brang a leson to life, a real picture of society and a sad and unfortenatly possible end to us all......
@envagelium It did technically have more episodes. It's unclear whether they are meant to predate the finale or the finale was just one of those "message" episodes. The last episode IIRC is Earl and Pearl.
Actually, it isn't unclear. This one was produced last, and was intended as the series finale, but the show was canned with seven episodes still waiting to air. ABC aired this one last and left the other six that came before it to air later in syndication, so that the series would have a proper ending... One that was probably pure nightmare fuel for the kids watching it. I was 14, and even I was shocked by it.
Its kind of an eye opener, Dinosaurs were on the earth for millions of years. Humans have only been dominant life on earth for a few thousand. Who's to say we couldn't all go extinct?
@StrongGlad999 If we live just a few centuries longer then we'll hopefully have advanced enough space travel to colonize the galaxy. By then we shouldn't be able to be wiped out by anything but a strong and focused outside force or a massive messup on humanity's part.
guess we had to see it coming what with that countdown on the very first episode and all. interestingly bold path they took making this episode, dark, yet ultimately fitting
If we at least saw the boss get his comeuppance, then that would provide us with some slight happiness; the greedy dinosaur dies without spending a single buck.
Doesn't that mean he died in his own greed? All those piles of money didn't save him. I feel sorrier for Wendy, his daughter. He said he loved her and was overprotective of her ... and now she's gonna die because her father's stupid and greedy. Actually, this episode raises a lot of questions about how various other characters dealt with it? Did Monica die of starvation when the trees died? Will the Scavengers survive because they scavenge?
She was scheduled to die at age 72 per dinosaur tradition. However, Robbie convinced her to buck tradition. Then, she choked on some potato chips and went to the Afterlife, but the angel noted she was not yet scheduled to die. So, she's been close at least a couple of times, but she never truly died.
thanks for this video...although its understandable that the entire episode wouldn't be put up, this version rather shows all of the parts in the episode worth seeing...
I would ... but if people bothered reading the comments section ... I've made it clear I will not. I don't want to get into trouble with youtube. Should you need assistance getting the DVDs, I'll help. That is all. PLEASE, PEOPLE ... STOP REQUESTING FULL EPS ... YOU WON'T GET THEM FROM ME! :(
"Dinosaurs" has been compared to "The Simpsons"; I'm surprised Earl's stupidity didn't find himself lynched by an angry mob for leading to their extinction, just how Homer's stupidity for causing Springfield's quarantine nearly got himself lynched in "The Simpsons Movie".
Well, by that point, everybody was probably used to Earl's "solutions". This was also the guy who dumbed down TV, nearly destroyed a paradise, etc. On the other hand, they really believed the ash/snow would lead to rain. This ep left out a lot of questions: What about Monica the herbivore? What about humans? Did Wendy Richfield blame her father? IMHO, this should have taken at least an hour.
@imjessietr29 At times the citizens don't seem all that bright so I can see it. Those questions are ones I would've liked to have seen answered as well. I like to think Roy tried to get to Monica so they could die together.
I love the bit at 3:40 - 4:42, just as the Greedy Profiteer gets all his Money, its completely USELESS :-D that should serve as a lesson to any Greedy idiots out there who don't think before they Act.
You know, tact can be very helpful in getting your way. I mean, it's even described as "abridged". I was going to post the ending ... Now I think I'll wait.
Earl gives a long monologue about messing up the Earth and the Sinclair family assure Baby they will be together no matter what. The only reason I didn't include it is because I felt it was A. depressing and B. unnecessary.
what the hell is the point posting this episode if you arent going to include the ending you nitwit.......the ending is the best part.....you prolly dont even have it.....what a fraud
Love the show!!! It's like "The Simpsons" and "Married with children" in one.

@envagelium It did technically have more episodes. It's unclear whether they are meant to predate the finale or the finale was just one of those "message" episodes. The last episode IIRC is Earl and Pearl.

@imjessietr29
Actually, it isn't unclear. This one was produced last, and was intended as the series finale, but the show was canned with seven episodes still waiting to air. ABC aired this one last and left the other six that came before it to air later in syndication, so that the series would have a proper ending... One that was probably pure nightmare fuel for the kids watching it. I was 14, and even I was shocked by it.

Its kind of an eye opener, Dinosaurs were on the earth for millions of years. Humans have only been dominant life on earth for a few thousand. Who's to say we couldn't all go extinct?

@StrongGlad999 If we live just a few centuries longer then we'll hopefully have advanced enough space travel to colonize the galaxy. By then we shouldn't be able to be wiped out by anything but a strong and focused outside force or a massive messup on humanity's part.

@seagullman87 Sad thing is you come to like the Sinclairs and it's sad that they have to go like this.

If we at least saw the boss get his comeuppance, then that would provide us with some slight happiness; the greedy dinosaur dies without spending a single buck.

Doesn't that mean he died in his own greed? All those piles of money didn't save him. I feel sorrier for Wendy, his daughter. He said he loved her and was overprotective of her ... and now she's gonna die because her father's stupid and greedy. Actually, this episode raises a lot of questions about how various other characters dealt with it? Did Monica die of starvation when the trees died? Will the Scavengers survive because they scavenge?
imjessietr29 2 years ago 4
I guess thats up to debate. Though the logical and only conclusion is that they all died.
Even though technically some episodes did air after this, you can say they all take place before "Changing Nature".

If this is the last episode how is the grandma there? I thought she died a long time ago?
000WHO 2 years ago
She was scheduled to die at age 72 per dinosaur tradition. However, Robbie convinced her to buck tradition. Then, she choked on some potato chips and went to the Afterlife, but the angel noted she was not yet scheduled to die. So, she's been close at least a couple of times, but she never truly died.

thanks for this video...although its understandable that the entire episode wouldn't be put up, this version rather shows all of the parts in the episode worth seeing...

"Dinosaurs" has been compared to "The Simpsons"; I'm surprised Earl's stupidity didn't find himself lynched by an angry mob for leading to their extinction, just how Homer's stupidity for causing Springfield's quarantine nearly got himself lynched in "The Simpsons Movie".
Jal8919536 3 years ago
Well, by that point, everybody was probably used to Earl's "solutions". This was also the guy who dumbed down TV, nearly destroyed a paradise, etc. On the other hand, they really believed the ash/snow would lead to rain. This ep left out a lot of questions: What about Monica the herbivore? What about humans? Did Wendy Richfield blame her father? IMHO, this should have taken at least an hour.
imjessietr29 3 years ago
@imjessietr29 At times the citizens don't seem all that bright so I can see it. Those questions are ones I would've liked to have seen answered as well. I like to think Roy tried to get to Monica so they could die together.

Earl gives a long monologue about messing up the Earth and the Sinclair family assure Baby they will be together no matter what. The only reason I didn't include it is because I felt it was A. depressing and B. unnecessary.
