Dinosaurs

For this episode, Tom teaches Morgan about the surprisingly-brilliant ’90s sitcom Dinosaurs, which probably shouldn’t have worked on paper.

Dinosaurs was one in a string of odd sci-fi/fantasy-based sitcoms that did the business back in the ’80s and ’90s, alongside the likes of Harry and the Hendersons and 3rd Rock from the Sun.

Co-created by the late Jim Henson, the Simpsons-style sitcom followed Earl and his family, with Baby ‘Not the Momma’ becoming its breakout star. Gotta love me!

In the episode, we look back at his harrowing finale episode, hear about how they almost teamed up with the Turtles, and how Tom’s admiration of ‘cool’ Robbie reminded Morgan of Rudedog and the Dweebs.

We also pay tribute to Dinosaurs voice star Jessica Walter, who sadly passed away on the day of recording the episode.

About the Podcast

Two Geeks Two Beers
Nerdy obsessions. Drunken ramblings. A nostalgia podcast about TV, film and video games.
Tom and Morgan are two mates who love talking nonsense about pop culture, while also enjoying a beer. We've taken our drunken ramblings from the pub to the studio to teach each other about all kinds of films, TV shows, video games and more. From '80s cartoons to '90s kids shows, action film franchises to cult games, we'll chat about anything remotely geek-related, often with plenty of confusion, bickering and fond nostalgia.
