/ Trivia:	`~4721~` originally got the idea of a live action show featuring animatronic dinosaurs after he was impressed by the technology his Creature Shop was developing for the first !~tmnt_1~!~Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles~! film. When the show went into production, the same technology was used to create the Dinosaurs. Many of the Ninja Turtle suit actors worked as various Dinosaur suit actors for the series. None of the Sinclair family has the same coloured eyes. Earl often sighs as he walks across a room. This allowed the person inside the costume a chance to see where he was going. He could only see through the open mouth. The Mating Dance: The episode won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Art Direction for a Series. The Mighty Megalosaurus: Even though "Dinosaurs" is a family friendly show "The Mighty Megalsaurus" is rated PG because Earl swears in this episode. Most of the characters' names are of petroleum corporations (Sinclair, Hess, BP, Phillips). How to Pick Up Girls: When Earl and The Baby are watching a sock puppet show, Fran says the show's for kids. Earl's response is that though the show has an aesthetic that appeals to kids the dialogue is clearly directed to adults. This is a direct reference to the style of Dinosaurs. Power Erupts: The title is based on an observation by `~Lord Acton~` in 1887: "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men." The Golden Child: On the TV show that Baby Sinclair is watching, the unnamed chemical that Mr. Lizard has Timmy make by mixing potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur (which then explodes after he ignites it) is gunpowder. What 'Sexual Harris' Meant: One of three episodes never shown in syndication on the Disney Channel. @#The Simpsons: Black Widower (1992)#@ features a parody of this show, and implies that it's a rip-off of @##The Simpsons (1989)##@. `~4721~` conceived of the idea before the @##"The Simpsons"##@ aired. His idea was deemed too weird until the popularity of that series. `~7963~` turned down the role of Earl Sinclair, wanting to pursue a film career, Power Erupts: In Wesayso's smear campaign toward Robbie Sinclair, it is mentioned that he supports furloughs for convicted murderers. This is in reference to `~Michael Dukakis~`' presidential bid in the mid '80s, in which an ad against him pointed out Dukakis' support of furloughs for convicted murderers. `~4721~`'s Creature Shop designed the Dinosaur's animatronics with the requirements of a long-running series in mind. They were engineered to be far more robust and easy to maintain than would be necessary for a film. The full-size dinosaur costumes came in two parts, a full body suit and a separate animatronic head. The head contained radio-controlled motors that moved the jaw, lips, eyes, and eyebrows. For closeup speaking and lip-sync, the heads were separated and operated by a team of puppeteers. It is speculated that Earl Sinclair may had been modeled after actor `~1039~`.
