    Matt Groening is his former brother-in-law. Dinosaur Train was in the rotation when mine was little. It’s not a top-tier “parents will notice the layers” one, but it’s very tolerable and a good show for the littles.

      There were much worse shows than Dinosaur Train. Even adults could learn something while their kid watched.
      Now Caillou on the other hand…

        I liked the way they’d introduce non-dinosaurs (and sneakily, the main pterosaur family are not technically dinosaurs either) from the fossil record, like the giant snake. There were definitely WAY worse things that I sat through, but PBS kids of that era had a ton of good shows (and now too? I dunno because it doesn’t have Hatsune Miku and friends so therefore my daughter doesn’t care). She actually still has an “Odd Squad” lore book in her backpack.

    I remember Craig’s face from the PBS commercials/postcredits for Dinosaur Train. Years passed, then I was force feeding my kids Hey Arnold! and saw Craig Bartlett in the credits. Had to look him up and was happy to see it’s the same guy.
