Like many pbs kids shows, dinosaur train is really just for brainless children and spineless parents to believe this is educating their children, talking species that has been done many times, the plot is so medicore it seems the producers were taking copious amounts of drugs just to come to come up with a plot, the voice acting is earbleadingly terrible that makes screeching chalk on a chalkboard sounds like nothing and is nothing else and deserves to go straight to the pbs kids gutter 3/10

This is a Great show to have your little one watch when teaching tem about different dinosaurs that lived on earth in the beginning of our world. It gives them names sizes of the dinosaurs & even shows pictures of what they look like. It also plays music while teaching them to keep them interested. I love when the show comes on my little girl loves this show just as much as I hoped she would thanks PBS for making this show.

My 18 month old son asks for it by name. It isn't too bad for the adults either, we find ourselves stopping to watch when it's on.
