What was originally supposed to be about children's TV turned into me watching 6 hours of children's TV show that hasn't been aired in 24 years. 



In a world covered in ice, where children freeze to death in front of there family, Bunch beetles are extermaited from the face of the planet, and it's all too late to fix it. 
This is the world of Dinosaurs the 90's sitcom children show produced by none other than Disney.

Jim Henson came up with the idea for Dinosaurs in 1988, we probably better know him as the creator of muppets. The dinosaurs project was the last project he worked on til his death in may, 1990.

All the dinosaurs are named after major oil companies, and their jobs are push down trees for WESAYSO corporation. They essentially control all energy sources, information sources, and have enough lawyers to allow them legally exterminate an entire race of beetles.

This show touched on every single issue regarding morality and duty there was. From Sexual harassment, women's right, masturbation, environmentalism and even the gulf war. The episode about the gulf war even goes into detail on government suppression of information, war profiteering, and political manipulation through distraction of real issues the president is hiding,.

dinosaurs ran from 1991-1994 in what's arguably the most adult television show disguised for kids.
I think the value proposition was to educate kids about the dangers of ignorance.

Less and less kids are watching Disney channel, while I don't know exactly why, I think making shows with meaning would help there net profit and provide more visibility for real life issues affecting the next generation. I think bring back educational programing is more important than ever.

If we relaunched Dinosaurs in HD do you think people off all ages would watch?
Is it important to have controversial tv and entertainment?
Would these subjects be okay for kids in 2018?
