Gary Owens and Eric Boardman "Dinosaurs" Promo Reel

[MikeyTheMikeSprite]

Eric Boardman and Rick Steves. The same person?

[KensouX]

Oh man I LOVED this show when I was a kid!

[Philosphyfanatic]

I loved the videos these two made!

[Irrelevant402]

Eric Boardman doesn't look too bad in pink even though he really should.

[drbotanus]

Now I know why Gary Owens holds his ear. It is to keep it from getting bitten off by a puppet dinosaur. This is a very oblique and strange clip. "Quick Man!! Cling tenaciously to my buttocks!!!!

[gettotheGate]

okay, these two jokers did another prgram, aside from their dinosaur one, about bizarre/amazing animals, or something to do with zoos. Does ANYONE remember the name of that movie?

[DinosaurTheatre]

@gettotheGate The Wondrous World of Weird Animals

[gettotheGate]

@DinosaurTheatre Thank you. Do you know if they did any more programs besides the prehistoric and weird animals ones?

[DinosaurTheatre]

@gettotheGate They did a Ray Harryhausen special, as well as a few other shows that were never finished, such as a Space show and one on Volcanoes.

[TheMicroraptor]

@DinosaurTheatre It's too bad the Space show and the Volcano one were never finished. How close to completion were they?

[DinosaurTheatre]

@TheMicroraptor The space show only had a few shots completed I think, and the volcano show was nearly finished. Both will be on the DVD release.

What the heck kind of movie is that at 1:55?

[DinosaurTheatre]

@eshakunamatata Its from a short called Mrs.Burma. If you look it up on Vimeo the original footage has been remade into a new short(with a new pterodactyl.)

[PotRoast24]

those two assholes are the true kings of the dinosaurs...

[bigmike4758]

what movie is 1:56 from?

[DinosaurTheatre]

@bigmike4758 It's from Mark Sullivan's short Mrs. Burma. He's recently been re-editing it with updated effects which you can see on his vimeo page.

[DemitriVladMaximov]

Where did you get this? I grew up on these specials and they are why I love dinosaurs and want to be a paleontologist. Please I would love to see all you have.

[DinosaurTheatre]

@DemitriVladMaximov It's part of some raw footage I got from the show's producer. I'll upload all that I have over time to this account, although some will only be on my blog at dinosaurtheatre(dot)blogspot(d­ot)com

[Tareltonlives]

I loved that series. I have to get a copy.

[troodon311]

This is so awesome. It's weird how drawn I am to these documentaries and everything related to them.

[BionicleRaptor]

How on Earth do you find this Dinosaur stuff?

[DinosaurTheatre]

@BionicleRaptor I get it straight from the source.

[BionicleRaptor]

@DinosaurTheatre

What would that be? 

[DinosaurTheatre]

@BionicleRaptor The shows producer.

[BionicleRaptor]

@DinosaurTheatre

Well I do hope they are able to release the whole series again soon.

Maybe they could make a new series? That would be spectacular!

[DinosaurTheatre]

@BionicleRaptor Just keep at eye on my blog then!

[BionicleRaptor]

@DinosaurTheatre

I'll make sure to!

[jmn327]

My favorite videos as a kid, and they have a clip of the NYC Natural History Museum as I remember it before the renovations. Wish they were still up on YouTube, I even remember one account putting up each track from the soundtrack of the shows.

[DinosaurTheatre]

@jmn327 That was me! I was asked to remove the shows by their producer, but a byproduct is that soon they will be re-released on DVD! I have this and other videos on my DinosaurTheatre blog at dinosaurtheatre(dot)blogspot(d­ot)com most of which is about Gary Owens and Eric Boardmans dinosaur documentaries. Check it out for some exclusive and rare stuff from the shows.

Cool!
