The Cast Behind ‘Dinosaurs’ And Funniest “Not The Mama” Moments

Learn more about the cast of the 90s sitcom Dinosaurs

Dinosaurs was a very popular sitcom in the ’90s. It was reportedly Jim Henson‘s last project before he died. It followed a family of dinosaurs who were portrayed by talking puppets. In addition, did you know that there were actually real people in the puppet costumes that helped them look more lifelike? There were actually separate people that played the body and the head.

Jim Henson had the idea for the show in 1988, but many people thought it was crazy. However, after the success of The Simpsons, Jim knew the show would take off. While it was fairly short-lived, the show still remains a pop culture icon. For instance, learn more about each main character and who voiced them. Then reminisce on some funny “Not the mama!” moments.
