"The Dinosaur Shows", as they are collectively referred to as, are a series of children's/family specials starring Gary Owens and Eric Boardman produced by Midwich Entertainment. They aired on The Disney Channel and were big hits on home video. The titles of the shows are:

Dinosaurs

More Dinosaurs

Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs

Prehistoric World

Son of Dinosaurs

The Return of Dinosaurs

The Wondrous World of Weird Animals

The Volcano Show (just released for the first time)

* Gary and Eric also hosted a program about special effects legend Ray Harryhausen ( The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Jason and The Argonauts,...) titled "Aliens, Dragons, Monsters & Me - The Fantasy Film World of Ray Harryhausen ".

This is a promo for the "Dinosaur Shows" that was made in the late 1980s. It was never used because the programs were licensed to The Disney Channel. You can see more videos, outtakes, and other fun stuff from these shows at www.dinosaurtheatre.blogspot.com

Here are a few of the comments that encouraged us to get these shows out of the vault and on DVD:

“I just wanted to thank you people at Midwich so much for creating these fantastic specials as they continue to be my favorite documentaries and helped me decide to become a paleontologist.” Alex M., MT

"More Dinosaurs holds a special place in my heart. I would watch the VHS tape day after day as a child because of the way it captivated my imagination. For posterity's sake, I do respectfully ask that you make the series available on DVD for purchase. I'm sure kids from the 80's/90's would be all over this, as well as their children and any other kids who love dinosaurs which is a helluva lot of kids. Sincerely, a 90's kid who still loves dinos as much as she did when she was 4." Jennifer B., PA

"I have been a fan of the Dinosaur series all my life. I'm only 29 years old but one of my nephews is getting into his dino faze and I would love to share this educational, not to mention entertaining, piece of history with him and his little brother. So if you can find the time to relay this message to the big shots behind the scenes, please tell them that I would love to buy the whole Dinosaur series on DVD ASAP. Thank you."  Boilerboy-youtube

“I'm a long time fan of the Gary and Eric shows… and I'm really interested in acquiring this dvd. Thank you for bringing us back this beloved show, hopefully we can get the entire series.”  Javier R., Mexico City
