TV Opening Sequences: Dinosaurs


Dinosaurs (1991-1994)

Originality: 3/5
I really feel like this intro has two parts to it; the scary part at the beginning where you don't know what you are watching and then half way through it's the comedic family sitcom style. What makes it original for me is seeing the dinosaurs acting just like regular people. They come home from work, they wear flannel and at the end of the day, they watch TV. Pretty much describes my life!

Theme Song: 3/5
The theme song is very distinctive and feels a bit heavy handed which is perfect because dinosaurs are quite large and would probably thump around when they walk like some of the sounds in the theme.

Informative: 3/5
You can figure out quite a bit from the intro, like the fact they are dinosaurs (which if you couldn't figure out from the show's title maybe means you've been hit on the head with one too many pots) and the fact that there is a grandparent, two parents and three children all living in one house. They don't give away the whole story but it's enough to either leave you wanting more or leave you disinterested. 


Overall Score: 60%
