I haven't looked for episodes for a while, but if I could find them for free (I'm not buying them from Amazon), I'd think about it for sure. I'd probably start with "Mole Lotta Trouble" where Fiona goes on a woodsy retreat with her very stupid family and they help catch mutants.starofjusticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871429377096144563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2533992668641166445.post-86168486034190552892014-11-03T23:44:21.051-06:002014-11-03T23:44:21.051-06:00Long time reader, first time commenter and all tha...Long time reader, first time commenter and all that. I have to say, every time I read your DinoSquad reviews I got a good laugh because yeah, the show sucked. BIG TIME.<br /><br />I just have to ask, after so many years of doing this, are you going to continue doing series reviews of the show. If I recall correctly, DS only lasted a season...or two right? I just love the way you do your analysis of the show that it would be a shame that so many of the other terrible episodes missed the treatment that the previous ones have gotten. As far as I know, the entire series is up on Youtube or on some other sites on teh interwebz.<br /><br />As far as this episode goes I missed this one as from what I can remember I watched about half of the entire series but none of them being of the ones you reviewed (save for the first episode) but it just smells of the typical overly preachy web safty episode that was being spewed out on every E/I show at the time. The only thing that makes it more painful is that DS was the one devlievering that message. Not trying to bust on shows that 'teach' kids but holy crap, DS was NOT the show to do it. And the sad thing is that this show was handled by the same people who had a hand in a lot of my childhood favorites growing up but even by 80s preachy cartoon standards, even THOSE shows didn't reach the level of mind-blowing STUPID as this.<br /><br />Perhaps its nostalgia glasses or it really is a case of shows trying to damn hard but I will say from the bottom or my heart that DS is worse than any 80s cheese, edutatinment show that I have seen growing up in the really late 80s and 90s. I just can't explain it but maybe its because being in my mid-teens when the show came out I could spot all the mistakes and phoniness a mile away as if I were younger, I would not have seen it but still...the show is just painful to watch even compared to the shclock I grew up with. <br /><br />Is it because they were trying so hard to be 'safe' and forgot to have fun or is it because it doesn't have the 80s/90s silliness and fun that even the lamest educational show had? The more I think about it, the more I feel that the entire point of this show wasn't to education but to fill a quota and hope for a cash-in with some toys that were never there. If it were trying to educate, they would have done their freaking homework on so many things because you really can't excuse the show's lack of insight on prehistoric, well, history as being 'imaginative' and taking chances. No, this show waste not a second shoving 'educational' crap down kids throats so it has no excuse for all the mistakes it made. This show was pitched as a learning tool but they just didn't care. If the show was trying to be tongue-n-cheek and wasn't weighed down by some board-meeting and check list marketing crap, then all the random mutations and things would have been passed off as the show trying to be as weird as possible but in the end.....<br /><br />MIND-NUMBING.<br /><br />TL;DR- I love this blog and I love the reviews. If you do any more Dino Squad reviews, that would be excellent but hey, I'll come by and read regardless. Keep up the good work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032031273206982972noreply@blogger.com
