Dinosaurs

Earl Sinclair must choose his role in life: That of domesticated dinosaur or wilderness dinosaur. After 24 years with the Wesayso Development Corporation, Earl asks for a raise -- and instead is terminated by his angry boss, B.P. Richfield. Highly distressed, Earl returns home to discover that his wife, Fran, has laid an egg.

When Fran feels like a dowdy, neglected housewife after hatching her third child, husband Earl realizes -- to his horror -- that he's going to have to relearn the mating dance to woo Fran back to feeling attractive and wanted again.

When dinosaurs turn 72 years old, they're thrown over the cliff into the tar pit so they won't be a burden to their families. Earl's mother-in-law, Ethyl, is quickly approaching her 72nd birthday, and Earl can hardly wait. But when son Robbie suggests that Grandma Ethyl move in with them instead, Earl may become the first dinosaur to give up his den in the name of family unity.

When a gigantic dinosaur, nine times Earl's size, falls for Fran at the grocery store, he decides he wants her -- and everything else Earl loves -- for his own. Earl has to decide whether to summon up his courage and fight for his family or follow the dinosaur's code of the wilderness and run like crazy.

Earl's son, Robbie, rebels against the dinosaur tradition of howling as the rite-of-passage to adulthood, but gets caught in the middle when his act of rebellion sets best friends Earl and Roy at each other's throats.

The Sinclairs are concerned when Baby grows a golden horn on his head, but their concern turns to astonishment when the Council of Elders announces that Baby's horn makes him the long-awaited king of the dinosaurs!

When a meteorite crushes the Sinclairs' TV set, Earl decides they could all use a little family togetherness by competing on a TV game show, with the ulterior motive of winning a big-screen set.

Robbie defies Earl and hangs out with some radical herbivores, but the two have more than their diets to worry about when they run into a hungry swamp monster.

Charlene is upset to be one of the last girls in her class to shed her stubby tail for a voluptuous five-footer, while Earl tries to deal with his own frustrations as he refuses to accept the fact that his "little girl" is turning into a woman.

Earl buys two very rare, delicious and expensive creatures called grapdelites to dine on with Fran for their 20th anniversary. But Robbie learns, while writing a paper at school on why the dinosaurs rule the Earth, that the grapdelites Earl has bought are the last two members of a nearly extinct species.

When Earl wins the title, "Employee of the Month," the Sinclairs prepare themselves for a visit from Earl's fearsome boss, B.P. Richfield.
