My six year old has been a fan of this show for several years now. It's innocent, educational, friendly, but sometimes the overly cuteness of it all gets nauseating for adults.

More like what's was from long time ago in history. And dinosaurs can't talk. That is a stupid thing people had made.

If you're kids are into dinosaurs, they'll love this show. I've recommended this to friends and their kids enjoyed it too! The kids enjoy the dinosaurs, and the characters, along with the real kids at the end of each episode. As a parent, the narrative is reasonable, the content is also relatively educational, with a strong focus on the scientific method and exploration along with a nice summary at the end of each episode. I only wish there were more episodes as the quality of the animation hasn't aged well and looks blurry on larger modern TVs.
