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.

Super fun for Dinosaur fans !! My 4 year old loves this duo and their adventures. All the dinosaurs he gets to experience and learn about is awesome. He loves that he can learn about different types of dinosaurs and it plays well with his imagination about dinosaurs still being alive.

My 3yo adores the show and has watched all episodes original and new. He reenacts the scenes and can recognize and pronounce all proper dinosaur names and features. Great show and highly recommended as a good combination of both entertainment for a little one and also educational content. We watch it both on YouTube and now on Netflix. He lost his mind for the crossover with Blippi. His favourites are the ones with LB, Aron and Despicable G/Dinomaster though. DinoMaster is his favourite character to act as and the stories are surprisingly witty and entertaining even for the adult that is watching 😁

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?)
