Jim Henson's group has created another monster hit with these adorable "little" critters.

The series premiered over the Memorial Day weekend here in Utah where world-renowned palentologist Scott Sampson from the Utah Museum of Natural History brings the show's natural science and history to life for the preschooler crowd as "Dr. Scott".

Eight of the scheduled 40 episodes for the first season have already won over the hearts of kids of all ages who have tuned in.

to further explore the games, learning tools and curriculum themes of the show, and explore the "dinohood" online.

The fascination the preschoolers possess for dinosaurs as well as trains is what catches the eyes of the adults. The lessons learned by the little tykes extend far beyond the science, the history, the engineering and math to include even critical thinking and social skills that will help form our next generation of leaders.

Trains, and dinosaurs, and Henson (Oh My). Move over Barney, the Dinosaur Train is roaring down the track. ALLLLL ABOARD!

I'm only concerned that they may spread themselves too thin. Three to five projects a year sounds daunting to me, considering what they do. Hopefully their next big thing doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

I'm a Jesus junkie. I'm a creationist too. But I don't have a problem with dinosaurs and such, because I believe that creation was not 6000 years ago. The Bible doesn't give a definitive timetable to creation, so all these eras that trip up a lot of Christians really did happen. It's called Old-Earth Creationism. Look it up. Mark

How the hell will the Dinosaur show get past the Jesus Junkies on their creationist shtick?

I hope Creg's shows will be good. I really enjoyed "Hey Arnold!".
