This is 'Dino Squad', broadcast in 2007.

Five teenagers, Rodger, Max, Caruso, Fiona and Buzz, gain the power to turn into dinosaurs by getting covered in Victor Veloci's primordial ooze that mutated their DNA on a school field trip to the tide pools when they were rescuing Rump. With the help of their mysterious science teacher, Ms. Moynihan (who is an anthropomorphic Velociraptor), they learn to use their unique abilities to protect the planet from Victor Veloci. Victor is widely known as the head of company Raptor Dyne, but is also a 65-million-year-old anthropomorphic Velociraptor. His secret identity is unknown to everyone except himself and the audience. His true plan is to turn everyone into dinosaurs by using primordial ooze and increase the climate to that of the Mesozoic era with the goal of returning the world to how it was when dinosaurs ruled and tries capturing them in their dinosaur forms, not knowing they are humans. However, his plans always backfired and thus the return to the age of the dinosaurs was not meant to be. Dino Squad is set in Kittery Point, Maine.

[TOMT] Early 2000's show about dinosaurs?
A little more information, it was mostly just informative but still fun and engaging. A type of documentary but for kids. It had a lot of dinosaur facts. I've tried looking up the year, the basic premise. i vividly remember the guy actually being on screen and setting up tents and whatnot near the dinosaurs and the scale part of the show.

r/Dinosaurs on Reddit: [TOMT] Dinosaur TV show from the early-mid 2000s that had some carnivorous Ankylosaur/Pachycephalosaur hybrid
May 28, 2024 -

Hey, I hope this kind of post is allowed, I considered posting this on r/tipofmytongue, but I figured dinosaur fans would know more...

I distinctly remember watching everything dinosaur related on comcast on-demand back when that was a thing, and there was this one dinosaur TV show that I remember being incredibly inaccurate, yet now I can't find any trace that such a TV show even existed.

The show is not an informative docuseries or anything like that, it's a fictional story with a plot and actors, the whole shebang. I honestly thought it was Terra Nova at first, because most of it takes place in a forest/campground, but none of the dinosaurs from Terra Nova resemble what I'm thinking of.

I only remember watching probably like 2-3 episodes, and I couldn't tell you anything about the actors who were in the show, but I do remember some of the dinosaurs.

One of the dinosaurs was some friendly dromaeosaur (I want to say it was a pyroraptor?) that was kind of like a pet to the main characters of the show.

There were two other dinosaurs, and they were both some weird kind of Ankylosaur/Pachycephalosaur hybrid (in that they had an Ankylosaur's body, but I'm pretty sure they also had the dome skull of a Pachycephalosaur). I also am pretty sure they were carnivorous for whatever reason, and I believe bipedal at times too? I can't remember the premise of the show, but the Ankylosaur/Pachycephalosaur dinos were definitely antagonists of some sort. The distinctiveness and downright blasphemous inaccuracy of these two dinosaurs made me think that it would be easy to find something about this show online, but I've tried searching everything to no avail.

Honestly, I have no desire to watch this show again because I remember it being really bad, but it's highkey driving me crazy that I can't find anything online that points to this show even existing. Now I'm wondering if I just imagined it, or dreamt it up as a kid.

Any help is much appreciated.

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?
