I actually am a paleontology expert partially because of Dino Dan. I was a fan of it a long time back. I don't care what other people say, this show appeals to all ages.
Dino Dan is what a children's show SHOULD be. It's entertaining, educational, and if you love paleontology like me, it gives you a lot to think about.
There is lots of good humor in this show, and I laughed at least once per episode. Also the computer-animated dinos are so cute when they smile!
And finally, it's something that DOESN'T demonize theropods! Even Land Before Time did that with its sharptooth. The carnivores are redeemed and we know that it's just their nature.
