Dinosaurs' Dark Finale: A Bold Ending

0:00On April 29th, Kirk Thatcher, the writer behind the Dinosaur's TV show's infamous finale, is standing by that gut punch ending where the Dinos trigger. A nuclear winter. The sitcom ran four seasons from 1991 to 1994 on ABC, featuring a family of puppet dinos in a suburban world. Thatcher designed the characters and penned the last episode, changing nature, which aired 30 years ago. The show started as a Jim Henson project, picking up after his death in 1990. Voices like Stewart-Pankin as Dad Earl Sinclair and Kevin Clash as the violent baby with his, not the mama catchphrase, made it a hit for 65. Episodes, writers Michael Jacobs and Bob Young pushed boundaries with political jabs. Fans still freak out over that bleak close, resharing clips online and calling a tragic. The family fights a greedy corporation that wipes out Beatles controlling invasive plants, leading to bombs and volcanoes that kill all vegetation, and freeze the planet in ice.

He loved book ending the series from Creation to Apocalypse, saying it fit their bold style. All four seasons stream on Disney Plus now, so revisit that wild ride and see why it still hits hard.
