I wish I could remember all of this great puppet show from Jim Henson and the makers of The Muppets and Sesame Street, but this was for Disney. All I do remember is the great theme tune, some of the babies fantastic naughtiness, and the fact that it is almost the same format as The Flintstones. It is basically the funny dysfunctional dinosaur family living in the modern world, with humans as pets and wild animals. The family consists of overweight father and husband, Earl Sinclair (Stuart Pankin/Bill Barretta), trying and failing supporting mother and wife Fran (Jessica Walter/Mitchel Evans/Tony Price/Allan Trautman), the kids, 14-year-old daughter Charlene (Bruce Lanoil/Sally Struthers/Arlene Lorre), 16-year-old son Robbie (Jason Willinger/Leif Tilden), the cranky Grandma, Ethel (Brian Henson, Jim's son/Florence Stanley), and probably the best character, the troublesome Baby (Kevin Clash). It won the Emmy for Outstanding Art Direction for a Series, and it was nominated for Outstanding Editing for a Series - Single Camera Production. Very good, as far as I can remember!
