T-Rex Ranch

First, the whole, "xx minutes earlier" thing is stupid and always has been. It is bad writing and a huge red flag that should tell the viewer that what they're about to watch is stilted dreck.

Second, there is zero educational value here. This someone's wild fever dream based loosely on a kids big book of dinosaurs and watching half of one of the Harry Potter movies while having a reaction to allergy medication. That's the most polite way I could explain whatever this was.

The acting is painful to watch. I could feel my brain cells crying out in terror. Whoever came up with this should be arrested for their crimes against humanity.

It's so bad. How many times can this guy say "okay!"? Why are there so few dinosaurs? Why do my kids like it so much? It feels like they took actors from a show and followed them with a camera when they did random every day things, while very loosely tying it into the show they're from by randomly dropping in quotes and having them wear hats with the show name on it.

Most kid shows I can tolerate, even if they're not great. But this one... it's just. So. Very. BAD. This is the first time I've ever reviewed one of the shows my kids watch, and I just had to go it because I'm so annoyed that something like this exists.

Noticing a big separation in ratings and I can see why based on the seasons I've seen. Netflix/Amazon appears to have a version that isn't hocking toys/terrible production values.

There is also another version I saw on Peacock that seems to have terrible production values with an extremely tenuous connection to the Netflix/Amazon version.

I've also seen one that I think was on Youtube that had the same name, but was mostly unboxing/selling toys.

My kiddo doesn't have extremely distinguishing preferences so the brand keeps him interested even in low quality versions.

Overall: Not a lot of education content, highly variable quality (is this an IP enforcement issue?)

The villain is so good !! He is so crazy and animated. Wish he was in more scenes. The cgi needs improvement but it looks about the same as any pbs kid's show. Excellent show for kids.

My 4YO LOVES this show. It's filled with information, and not just about dinosaurs. My son is obsessed with dinosaurs, but most of the stuff he's able to watch is cartoon, or documentaries... this is a nice in between. The dinosaurs look real to him, and there's no chance that they start eating anyone! They are constantly giving information about the dinosaurs, and teaching while on silly adventures. My son has learned so much about dinosaurs and animals it's crazy.

Is the show silly and annoying for adults??? Yes!!!! The show isn't for you! It's for your kid! This is a solid option so that your kid isn't watching a documentary that blends up being kind of violent.
