‘Dinosaurs’ is Coming to Disney+ So Get Ready to Relive Your Childhood

  • 2  Minute Read

Is it just me or have ’90s kids had a TON of entertainment news to be happy about lately? First, we got The Baby-Sitters Club series on Netflix, then Supermarket Sweep, and now, our favorite zany ’90s sitcom, Jim Henson’s Dinosaurs, is coming to Disney+!!

If there’s one thing I love more than reliving my childhood, it’s sharing the best of it with my kids, so I’m SUPER excited about this! For those of you who (inexplicably) don’t remember Dinosaurs, let me refresh ya!

Dinosaurs was an early ’90s sitcom that ran for four years on ABC and was created by the Jim Henson company.

The show was about the Sinclair a family of, um, dinosaurs, obvi—but they lived in a modern world in houses, with electricity, appliances, and jobs—and they even had humans as pets (yikes!).

I remember sitting in front of my TV for “T.G.I.F” on ABC like it was yesterday, to get my fill of feel-good comedies, including this one!

The breakout star of the show for me was the “Baby Sinclair,” who could get away with anything and had great catchphrases like “Not the Mama!” to show you who his preferred person was. Ha! I will say though, that his teenage siblings Robbie and Charlene provided plenty of hilarity on their own, and cranky, hardworking dad Earl was a great comedic foil!

I know this show sounds weird as all get out, but it WORKED, and I can’t wait to see it again and see what my kids think of it!

No release date for Dinosaurs has been announced by Disney+ yet, so we’ve got a while to wait, wonder, and prepare to binge.

In the meantime, I am totally loving the fact that everything ’90s is COOL again! Will you be introducing your family to the dino-tastic Sinclairs when the time comes?

Sometimes Love Means Slowing Down

Two boys on bicycles riding to park, shown from behind
by Kimberly Phyfe

Think of something faster than a 7-year-old boy on a two-wheel bike. Maybe a race car at the drop of the checkered flag? Perhaps a rocket ship blasting into space? Or how quickly a toddler mom books it out of the house after being told she can have a hands-free hour ALONE in Target. Yes, all of these things are seriously speedy, but I have still never seen anything quite as quick as a boy on a bike on a sunny day with endless open track ahead of him. Until today. Today, my 6-year-old son wanted to ride bikes with...

To the mom going through a divorce: you can do this. I’ve been where you are, staring at a mountain of changes and challenges that felt insurmountable. The crushing ache of divorce, of family disruption, of building a new life, and helping my son through it all seemed endless and impossible. But eventually, I made it through to the other side, and I want you to know: the pain won’t last forever.  The first year following a divorce is an overwhelming puzzle of putting your life back together. And when there are kids involved, there is so much more to...

I Wish My Family Could See More than My Faults
In: Living
Mom standing with child on dirt road
by Claudia Caramiello

I am and always will be a self-described mini-train wreck. I’m disorganized, have trouble keeping my house clean, and my kids aren’t perfect angels. In my home, we have fights, slammed doors, foul language, and dirty dishes in the sink.  I sometimes go in the bathroom and cry so hard my mascara streaks down my cheeks—that is, when I wear mascara. Usually sans makeup and hair tied with an old scrunchy is the look I often rock.  I’m notoriously terrible about making appointments for myself, I’m constantly tired, and my nails could stand a good manicure.  I’m overweight, and I...

There’s Something Special about Old Friends

by Krystal Sieben

There is much to be said about old friends. In quotes, in the five regrets of the dying, in The Golden Girls theme song. But life gets busy, doesn’t it? It gets complicated—marriages, jobs, kids, errands. Friendships that were once part of us seem to fade into the background as lives grow and shift.  Being the always optimist, the queen of nostalgia, the friend who probably holds on just a little too tight, I have always seen the value in the old. The familiar. I’m the person who orders the same menu item every time at my favorite restaurant. I’m...

They whispered to her: You cannot withstand the storm. I have had days when the storms hit me while I sat on the shower floor with my knees to my chest feeling completely defeated, letting the hot water beat down on my body. I have had nights when the storms hit me as tears stained my pillow. As time has moved on, I am learning how to beat the storms. This is only possible because of the family and friends that God has brought into my life. This is my fight song. These are and have been my take back...

Take the Trip, You Won’t Regret It
In: Kids, Living, Motherhood
by Casey Huff

Two years ago, in the middle of a snowy, windy, Colorado March, my husband and I made the spontaneous decision to road trip to Arizona with our three very young kids.  Even though I was excited, the nerves were so very real. Over the next couple of weeks, I literally lost sleep worrying about the logistics of our trip. My late-night mindless scrolling was replaced by searches like “traveling with toddlers” and “keeping kids entertained on road trips”. We already had our hands full chasing kids at home in a familiar setting. Were we crazy to think we could just...

by Carolyn Moore

In a world divided by basically everything, there’s one thing we all can agree on: growing up in the ’90s was the absolute best. You were dialing up to the internet on a monstrosity of a computer, probably with a free trial of AOL your parents got in the mail. You had a Discman with double bass boost and a sweet pair of Sony headphones with those foam pads over the ears. If you were lucky, your friend down the street had the coveted clear telephone AND a dedicated teen line. And every day after school, you cracked open some...

Don’t Delete the Picture You Think You Look Bad In

Don’t delete the picture—the one you look bad in. I said it. You heard me. Don’t delete the picture, that picture—you know the one, the one with the double chin or the bad angle. The picture that is not so flattering. The picture that accentuates your forehead lines or the one taken next to your skinny best friend. We are all so hard on ourselves. Many of us are striving for a better complexion or a thinner physique. Sometimes scrutinizing ourselves and zooming in on a picture—seeing things the world does not see. Don’t delete the picture.

Dear Daughter, Friendships Are Like Blue Jeans

Friends holding hands no faces showing, wearing blue jeans
by Taylor Hagemeyer

Dear daughter, As you grow, relationships with other girls will often be complicated and sometimes feel discouraging. Friendships can be life-giving and beautiful. They can also be dramatic and draining.  Here’s a little trick to understanding the ebb and flow of friendships in your life.  Think of friendships like blue jeans.  They might be in your life for just a season. They can be trendy, but not last very long. Sometimes you will outgrow them. Sometimes they won’t fit, and you will have to put them back.  RELATED: Not All Friendships Are Meant To Last Forever Sometimes they are brand new, but...

To the Mom Overwhelmed by Anger and Guilt

Woman with head in hands and kids in background
by Daniela Bratu

Long before you became a mother, you fantasized about the special connection you would share with your little ray of sunshine. You made the promise that you would arm yourself with all the patience in the world and be the calmest and most loving parent there is.   And how long did it take you to end up confused, worried, or disappointed when reality didn’t meet your expectations of being a mother?   In my practice as a psychotherapist, I often meet mothers overwhelmed by guilt and shame because, in their eyes, they don’t rise to the challenge.   I snapped at him...
