The premise: The Flying House features characters of the late 20th century who travel back in time and witness some of the events described in the Christian Bible. The feat is accomplished by an proud, absent-minded professor who had built his house into a flying time machine. Unfortunately, the mechanical components of the machine prove to be difficult, and the professor has trouble getting his house and passengers back to the 20th century.

"The Flying House" was meant to educate, to teach children values as conveyed in the New Testament. I found it entertaining that stories of the Bible, which many believe to be true, were supplemented by a science-fiction element. I'm not sure if the stories were altered in any way (aside from the flying house interventions), but if they were, it was an attempt to present the Bible to children in a way they could understand. Humor and the antics of the young characters also gave the show a nice touch.

And the dinosaur that the other writer referred to? It was a monster in a nightmarish scenario.
