r/tipofmytongue on Reddit: [TOMT] Early 2000's show about dinosaurs?
January 19, 2024 -

There was this show i watched in forth grade in like 2011 about dinosaurs. But it was an archeologist who went back in time to show the dinosaurs, its was CGI and real people. They had scenes of him setting down scales to show how much brachiosaurus weighed. It had different segments like carnivores, omnivores, herbavors, and then days where he looked at the little bird like dinosaurs. He even goes back further in time to show the isopods and explained that he couldnt stay there long because the oxygen content was too low.

There were different disks because i remember at one point the episode or documentary ends with an underwater dinosaur jumpscare and it says "to be continued."

Does anyone know what this was called? I remember it so vividly but cant find it no matter what i search?

Not a direct match, but enough similarities that I think it's worth mentioning.

The Lost World Tv Series

"At the dawn of the 20th century" a band of adventurers, led by adventurer and scholar Professor Challenger, embark on an expedition to prove the existence of a lost world isolated from the rest of the modern world. The British expedition team, consisting of a mismatched group of enthusiasts, all with less than selfless reasons for making the journey, begin their trip under less than ideal conditions. The intrepid band consists of Professor George Edward Challenger, Professor Arthur Summerlee, Marguerite Krux, Major Lord John Richard Roxton, Edward T. Malone. During their journey disaster strikes and their hot air balloon crashes in the uncharted Amazon jungle, where they end up on the prehistoric plateau. There they find themselves trapped and isolated in this dangerous land. The group is assisted by a young jungle-savvy woman named Veronica Layton, whose parents disappeared eleven years before. Her family was part of a research group that became isolated and was then lost under mysterious circumstances. Together with a young woman from the future named Finn (Lara Cox), the group fights to survive against carnivorous dinosaurs, vicious Neanderthals, a race of lizardmen, and other perils as they search for a way to escape. The stories usually worked out that two separate adventures were going on at the same time. In the later series, it is clear that they actually landed on the plateau in 1919.

It had the older scientist and the blonde native (well aleady there) girl. I don't remember there being a husband and wife, but there were a middle aged man and woman in the group. They also resided in a large tree-house and there were elemnets of magic in some of the storylines.

It originally aired between 1999 and 2002, so a little off in timeframe, but that could be explained if watching repeats or watching somewhere other than USA.

There was an animated dinosaur kids show (at least I think it was a show) that I watched when I was little (early 2000s). I watched it on DVD, I'm not sure if it was American, because I remember the main characters having a different accent (like Australian or British, couldn't tell). The only character I remember was a bipedal triceratops, and he had to get a controller in order to get his space ship(?) to take off. I cannot remember the name of it, it feels like a fever dream. Does anybody have an idea of what it was?

December 30, 2023 - Following its success, ABC's Dinotopia continued the tale in 2002, adapting James Gurney's books to further explore a fantastical world where dinosaurs and humans coexisted. Despite its ambitious premise, 2002’s Dinotopia series seems seldom discussed, eclipsed by other fantasy shows and paleo-media.

July 4, 2025 - One such species is Microraptor gui — a type of raptor that was discovered in the early 2000s and had four wings with black feathers. “There are insects with four wings, like dragonflies, but there aren’t any birds,” Myhrvold says. “Deinocheirus … that’s another raptor relative that everyone thought was going to be the most vicious-looking dinosaur on earth because they found the claws and the arms in the 1970s.
