T-Rex Ranch

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.

...so I don't understand the low ratings. It's probably just another case of people who haven't done anything judging those who try / do.

Keep up the entertainment, T-Rex Ranch.

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?)

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.

T. Rex ranch is a joyful and entertaining kids' show, but you have to know that it's actually 2 shows. There's the original show which was created by Aaron and LB and is an absolute masterpiece ( rating: 10/10) and then there's the new show, made by the cursed Cocomelon creators, Moonbug kids, who took over the show and ruined it! (Rating: 2/10) If your kids see this show, please only show them the good original episodes made before 2020. The original show is quite well made. It has a fun premise, engaging stories and characters and above all it's absolutely hilarious! It's a perfect blend of toy reviews and action adventure!
