                                   23 Dec 92
 

Season 1

# 1 - 21 Aug 91 - "The Mighty Megalosaurus"
 
     The audio-animatronic antics of the Sinclair family begin with Earl
     recalling the day he asked for a raise and really laid an egg, only to 
     find that Fran had done the same.

# 2 -  5 Jun 92 - "The Mating Dance"
  
     After Fran suffers a sleepless night, Earl volunteers to watch the kids
     for the weekend while Fran gets some much needed rest.

# 3 - 28 Aug 91 - "Hurling Day"
 
     Earl gleefully awaits "Hurling Day" when he'll have the ritual honor
     of heaving his mother-in-law into the tar pits, but Robbie thinks the
     tradition should be chucked.
 
# 4 - 11 Sep 91 - "The Howling"
 
     Robbie questions howling as a rite of passage, an act that puts bvest
     buddies Earl and Ray at odds with each other.
 
# 5 -  4 Sep 91 - "High Noon"
 
     Earl's blood runs colder when a monstrous male who notices Fran in the

Season 2

# 6 - 18 Sep 91 - "Golden Child"
       3 Apr 92

     Clawing into a second season, the Sinclair baby sprouts a golden horn,
     which looks like just one more thing Earl's going to be stuck with,    
     until the Council of Elders informs him that the horn means that the 
     baby is the prophesized King of the Dinosaurs.
 
# 7 - 25 Sep 91 - "Family Challenge"
       4 Dec 91

     A cosmic calamity wrecks the Sinclairs' TV, which is fine by Fran, but
     Earl, hoping to win a new set, has the bright idea to have them appear
     on the game show "Family Challenge" to maybe win a new one.
 
# 8 -  2 Oct 91 - "I Never Ate For My Father"
      10 Apr 92

     When Robbie flubs his initiation into the Young Males' Carnivore
     Association, Earl fears his son may be a weak link in the food chain --
     he may be (gasp) ... a herbivore.
 
# 9 -  9 Oct 91 - "Charlene's Tale"
      22 May 92

      29 Jan 92

     Earl buys Fran two grapdelites, a rare delicacy that they'll dine on
     for their anniversary, until Robbie meets the goodies and they explain
     that they are the last two of their kind.
 
#11 - 23 Oct 91 - "Employee of the Month"
 
     Earl thinks he's moving up the ladder as he and the family await a
     dinner with Richfield, while Robbie brings home a "pet" human, who's   
     several evolutionary rungs below the Sinclairs.
 
#12 - 30 Oct 91 - "When Food Goes Bad"
       8 May 92 [pre-empted in some time zones]
      29 May 92

     Lurking in the Sinclair refrigerator are delectable creatures that go
     bad, very bad, while Charlene is watching the baby.

#13 -  6 Nov 91 - "Career Opportunities"
      12 Jun 91

     The "Job Wizard" dictates that Robbie's to be a tree pusher just like
     Earl -- who realizes his job isn't all it's cracked up to be.

     Monica gets Fran thinking about the state of her union with Earl, and she
     addresses the issue by considering not renewing their marriage license.

      17 Apr 92
      24 Oct 92 [Special Saturday Presentation]

     The yolk's on the Sinclairs, who have a grade-A mess on their hands
     when they learn that the baby might have been switched with another
     when the two were just eggs.
 
#17 - 11 Dec 91 - "Refrigerator Day"
      25 Dec 92

     The dinosaurs get a warm and fuzzy feeling as they celebrate the gift
     of cold storage, but what's a dinosaur (like Earl) to do when his
     fridge is repossessed?
 
#18 - 18 Dec 91 - "What 'Sexual' Harris Meant"
 
     Earl helps Fran's friend Monica get a job as a tree pusher, but she's
     no pushover when she's subjected to harassment by a predatory male     
     who's the king of the double-entendre.
 
#19 -  8 Jan 92 - "Fran Live"

      11 Sep 92

#21 - 22 Jan 92 - "The Clip Show"
      24 Jul 92

     A modern archaeologist documents the dinosaurs' way of life as it might
     have existed millions of years ago, but clips from previous episodes tell
     a different story.
 
#22 -  4 Feb 92 - "A New Leaf"
      19 Jun 92

     A wild plant has a weird effect on Robbie, Earl, Charlene and others --
     it makes the dinosaurs dopey and happy, so very happy -- but to the
     exclusion of everything else.

#23 - 12 Feb 92 - "The Last Temptation of Ethyl"
      17 Jul 92
      27 Nov 92

     Earl thinks Ethyl has died, and he takes the opportunity to bury her.  But
     to his chagrin, she's sent back from the great beyond with the lowdown on
     the afterlife.

#24 - 19 Feb 92 - "Nuts to War, Part 1"
      28 Aug 92

     The dinosaurs who walk on all fours encroach on the swamplands and the
     pistachip-nut supply of the "normal" dinosaurs...and that means war.

#25 - 26 Feb 92 - "Nuts to War, Part 2"
      28 Aug 92

     Conclusion.  Earl, Roy, and Charlene pose as entertainers and rush to
     the front to retrieve Robbie, because it looks like this war thing is
     getting a little bit out of hand.

#26 - 20 Mar 92 - "Slave To Fashion"
      21 Aug 92

     Charlene wants to make a fashion statement with a very expensive new
     coat, but the coat can speak for itself (really), and it leads her into
     a vain attempt to achieve status.

#27 - 27 Mar 92 - "And The Winner Is..."
      14 Aug 92

     Earl throws his hat into the ring as a candidate for Chief Elder, but
     he's liable to have his head handed to him by his opponent, B. P.
     Richfield.

#28 - 24 Apr 92 - "The Leader Of The Pack"
       7 Aug 92
 
     When Robbie can't beat a gang of hoods (who keep beating him), he joins
     them, and they make him the leader of the pack after it's assumed he's
     eaten the old one.

#29 -  1 May 92 - "The Perfect WESAYSO Family"
      31 Jul 92

     Earl's a real company man -- in fact he might as well be married to it
     -- after Wesayso insists Roy replace Earl as the father of the
     Sinclairs, who are selected as Wesayso's spokesfamily.



Season 3

#30 - 18 Sep 92 - "_____"

     In the third-season opener, Fran makes potty training the baby Earl's
     business, but the baby escapes to the wilderness to do his business any
     way he wants.

#31 - 25 Sep 92 - "_____"

     When overwhelming urges to do the mating dance arise in Robbie, Earl
     prefers not to discuss it, but Fran waltzes into Robbie's classroom to
     educate the kids about it.

#32 -  2 Oct 92 - "_____"

     Earl does the dirty work of organizing a civic protest against the TV
     powers-that-be when the baby repeats (constantly) a dirty word that he
     hears on the tube.

#33 -  9 Oct 92 - "_____"
      23 Oct 92 [Postponed from 9 Oct 92]

     Earl hits a bad golf shot that sails off the edge of the known world and
     into a new one -- new, that is, to the dinosaurs.

#34 - 16 Oct 92 - "_____"

     Not only does Earl prove that any dinosaur can be a network programming
     honcho, he also proves he's a genius by scheduling shows like "The Test
     Pattern" and "The Happy Colors Show."  Unfortunately, his shows make
     viewers stupid.

#35 - 30 Oct 92 - "_____"

     Robbie weaves a frightening tale for the Baby about Robbie turning into a
     caveman monster, which proves a little too hairy for the little guy.

#36 -  6 Nov 92 - "_____"

     An infection makes the Baby very ill, but not as sick as the price of the
     Baby's medicine makes Earl.

#37 - 13 Nov 92 - "_____"

     Robbie dates Richfield's daughter, whose gluttonous reputation gives
     Robbie food for thought: he may be her next meal.

#38 - 20 Nov 92 - "_____"

     Earl believes he's a fine father figure, but parental guidance -- in the
     form of a menancing member of the Parent Patrol -- suggests otherwise when
     Earl's license to parent is revoked.

#39 -  4 Dec 92 - "_____"

     Charlene's original idea in the classroom that the world is round doesn't
     square with social dogma, and she's tried for heresy.

#40 - 18 Dec 92 - "_____"

     The males, including Earl, Robbie, and the Baby, go into the wilderness to
     rediscover their "reptiles within," while back home the girls warm their
     cold blood with the boys' beer.

#41 -  8 Jan 93 - "_____"

     Robbie challenges Earl's role as the Sinclairs' supreme male, but he's not
     up to the challenges that go with the responsibility.  In fact, he finds
     the role to be a supreme pain.
