Dino Ranch

My kiddos love this show. They are obsessed with dinosaurs and this has great for younger kids. It has a lot of great lesson in the episodes.

A mediocre show nobody asked for it to exist.first the characters are bland,Second there is no Lore/Plot and everything is Just chaotic as hell,three the dinosaurs are so inaccurate to the point that some of them like the raptors look like those bizzare drawings of dinosaurs from the 19th century that look Nothing like the actual dinosaur.fourth there are kids shows that are better that this show like Bluey,Dino Dana,Blue clue's and you, Lucas the spider and etc.

I cannot believe the clueless "parents" reviewing this show on here. The complaints are almost comical. This show is fantastic. My kids favorite. It shows how a family can manage a ranch and teaches them lots of good lessons. The main 3 characters are kind and creative. And the dinosaurs are awesome. They go on all sorts of adventures and do tonnnnns of problem solving. Is it 100% accurate in terms of the anatomy and science of dinosaurs. Of course not. It's a kid show. But it's very well done. Anyone complaining about this show is just a miserable human. It's very cute and great entertainment with some good lessons for kids.

I do agree with the other reviews that it could offer more. It would be nice if it had more educational value. However, I really like this show for a few reasons:

1 - it's family oriented! The family is inclusive of multiple races and is a good representation of adoption. The siblings are kind to each other and help each other out. It also reinforces doing chores and being members of a family team.

2 - there is no violence! It is SO rare to find a kid's show without any violence! The dinosaurs don't even eat meat, so there wouldn't be any visuals of devouring prey or anything of that nature.

3 - there is no technology or screens in the show. Again, this is SO rare! It's refreshing to have a show centered around a farm (albeit an unrealistic farm), that's slower pace and can entertain a toddler without speeding cars, bells and whistles, etc.

4 - although it could improve it's educational value it has kind language, manners, encouragement for children, and basic moral lessons. As someone else mentioned in their review, it deals with kids learning from their mistakes and finding solutions to problems.

5 - it has dinosaurs that aren't too scary for little kiddos. My son now loves dinosaurs because of this show. All-in-all, it's a nice show for young toddlers!

This show has a lot of potential. Really it does. I love wild west settings and dinosaurs, and combining those two aspects could make for a fun and engaging series. There could be action, drama, humor, teachable moments, and cuteness galore. But alas, this show is generic and another cog in the manufactured preschool show machine.

I know that people from Boat Rocker Studios are going to find this and mass-report it as unhelpful, like how people from Guru Studios ratioed my Pikwik Pack review. I don't care anymore because shilling for your own product is very embarassing.

The show seems like yet another merchandise-driven show, with no real characterization or plot, just a nonstop product promotion parade of dino toys that kids will want. While I do appreciate the diversity, they need to stop making every preschool protagonist a white boy, and stop making characters whose only personality traits are that they are nice and energetic. Your characters need to have flaws, vices that kids to relate to, because no one's perfect and no one will ever be perfect. Good role models are one thing, but unrealistic and uber-angelic role models are another.

I found the show weirdly paced, with nothing special about the show. Why don't companies hire new actors instead of recycling the same 5 ones over and over? It's getting very frustrating seeing the same actors in every preschool show. There's a lot of undiscovered talent, and yet we see more of the same.

If you want quality preschool shows, check out Dinosaur Train, Peep and the Big Wide World, Ready Jet Go, Let's Go Luna, Little Bear, Sesame Street, Xavier Riddle, Molly of Denali, Arthur, Martha Speaks, Wordgirl, Elena of Avalor, Bear in the Big Blue House, Blue's Clues, The Backyardigans, Rolie Polie Olie, Bluey, Santiago of the Seas, Thomas the Tank Engine, Dragon Tales, Between the Lions, Bob the Builder, Fireman Sam, Theodore Tugboat, Elinor Wonders Why, Hero Elementary, Wild Kratts, Nature Cat, Odd Squad, Doc McStuffins, and The Lion Guard. These are all high-quality shows with strong plots, characterization, and lessons that anyone regardless of age can enjoy, and the gold standard for kid show writers everywhere.
