General H. Norman Conquest

**General H. Norman Conquest** appeared in part 1 and part 2 of "Nuts to War" on *Dinosaurs*. General Conquest is in charge of the Two-Legger army during Pangaea's war with the Four-Leggers over the supply of pistachio nuts. In the second part, he takes a shining to Roy Hess, in drag as a USO girl.

His name is a reference to United States General H. Norman Schwarzkopf and the Norman conquest of England in the 11th century.
Episode 204: Charlene's Tale

Template:Episode

Charlene is despondent because she's the last girl in the eighth grade to grow a tail. Her outlook miraculously changes when her tail appears overnight. Earl's awareness of his little girl's budding womanhood drives him to distraction, but reassurance from Charlene that she'll always be her daddy's little girl cheers him up.

## Seen on TV

**Good Morning Pangaea**, a parody of *Good Morning America*.
**Way Too Complicated**, a "high concept" sitcom about a dinosaur who marries a ghost, amongst other elements.

Template:Nav
Zabar

**Zabar** is a dinosaur nature healer who appears in the *Dinosaurs* episode "Germ Warfare". He is legendary, known to dinosaurs as "the Guy in the Woods."

After Earl and Fran Sinclair lose faith in the medical establishment, due to Dr. Ficus's placid indifference to the blue medicine's failure to cure Baby of his sickness, they travel to the ritual healing grounds at the advice of Ethyl Phillips to seek Zabar's help.

Zabar ultimately manages to cure Baby by feeding him moldy bread, saving the child's life.
Georgie

**Georgie** is a prehistoric hippo and children's TV icon who appeared in the *Dinosaurs* episode "Georgie Must Die." An obvious spoof of Barney the Dinosaur, Georgie is actually a megalomaniac planning to take over the world through his financial empire and the devotion of the dinosaur children. Because of this he was then arrested and sent to prison for racketeering and tax evasion after Earl Sinclair exposed him on television. Roy Hess ended up taking his place on TV as the eponymous "Uncle Roy."

A similar character, Blarney, appeared on the series as a hand puppet.
Glenda Molehill

**Glenda Molehill** appeared in the *Dinosaurs* episode "Switched at Birth." Glenda is the wife of Gus Molehill and mother of Aubrey Molehill, and had been a fellow Lamaze class attendee with Fran Sinclair. During an earthquake, their eggs rolled off their nests, and had apparently been switched. Absolute Proof Laboratories proved that Baby Sinclair was the real Molehill child. However, Glenda became disgusted with Baby's habits (including devouring the cat and spitting him up all over the carpet), and demanded that she get Aubrey back, even though Gus preferred Baby.
Officer Bettelheim

**Officer Bettelheim** is an officer of the Pangaea Parent Patrol in the *Dinosaurs* episode "License to Parent." where he is the main antagonist. He cites Earl Sinclair for bad parenting and revokes his license, subsequently doing likewise for Fran Sinclair.

When he finds himself in charge of the Sinclair children, however, the police officer finds his manual doesn't cover everything, and pulls a gun on Baby Sinclair. To save his badge, Bettelheim drops the charges (and a *Dragnet* spoofing end credit epilogue says he was suspended but "will be allowed to return to duty when he has thought good and hard about what he has done.")
Judge H. T. Stone

**Judge H. T. Stone** appears in the *Dinosaurs* episode "Charlene's Flat World." Judge Stone sits in the Bureau of Government Retribution, and presides over Charlene's trial for heresy. The judge is anxious to leap ahead to sentencing, and has to be kept in line by his more staid Stenographer. He takes particularly gleeful pleasure in the phrase "Guilty!"

His name is a reference to Judge Harold T. "Harry" Stone on the television series *Night Court*.
Kyler Wilde

**Kyler Wilde** was the leader of the largest resistance sect on Mars during Maxeme III's final years. He joined forces with Elias Turner in Turner's Rebellion, tearing Mars from Maxeme III's grasp.

## Biography

### Season 1

(In season 1, Kyler is only a rising leader of a small political party which is progressive, the opposite of Maxeme III's trend of conservatism. He has small disagreements and makes some deals as a union entity with Grand Governor Aliza in order to keep the peace)

### Season 3

(In season 3, tensions are much higher and physical altercations happen daily. Kyler is still at the head of the largest resistance group, still trying to work with the government to find peaceful solutions.
Monica DeVertebrae

**Monica DeVertebrae** is the Brontosaurus who lives next door to Earl and Fran on *Dinosaurs*. Introduced in the second season episode "Unmarried ... With Children," Monica is a career woman, a real estate agent selling the house next door.

Monica also holds the distinction of being the first dinosaur to divorce her husband, deciding not to renew her marriage license. As a four-legged dinosaur (only the puppet's neck and head are ever shown with other characters), she often encounters racial prejudice.

Earl generally thinks of Monica as a radical, filling Fran's mind with wild ideas about independence. Her strong will and refusal to let dinosaur misogyny affect her role in the work place led to the "Sexual Harris" hearings in "What "Sexual Harris" Meant". Roy Hess has a crush on her, and in "Green Card," they briefly marry so Monica can stay in Pangaea.

Monica was the only "film-style" bodyless puppet on set, requiring a team of 4-5 puppeteers to operate the massive cables needed to move her neck joints, steady the fulcrum, and roll her in and out of the window. Exterior model shots sometimes show her body.

Robbie Sinclair

**Robbie Sinclair** (full name Robert Mark Sinclair) is Earl and Fran Sinclair's teenage son on *Dinosaurs*.

Although beginning the series at 14, Robbie celebrates his fifteenth birthday in the first season episode "The Howling". Intelligent but conflicted, Robbie is frequently torn between teenage hormones and general rebellion and more specific questioning of such institutions as Hurling Day or the general motives of WESAYSO and the Chief Elder.

He can be protective and caring towards his younger siblings. Despite the petty squabbles he has with Charlene, he tried to help her when she was arrested and put on trial for "heresy" (saying the world is round and not flat) in "Charlene's Flat World".

At his best, he's quite rational and level-headed. One such example would be in "The Greatest Story Ever Sold", during which he was the only one to realize that "potato-ism" was only trying to prevent people from thinking for themselves.

He has been shown to be very clever. In "Power Erupts", he built a prototype for an infinitely renewable energy source to submit to the science fair.

Despite being down-to-earth, he does have his share of reckless decisions. He has followed Spike's questionable advice, such as peeing on Caroline Foxworth's lawn in "How to Pick Up Girls". In "Steroids to Heaven", he resorts to eating Thornoids to become more musclebound so he can get Caroline to notice him and ends up gaining a huge ego. However, in the end, he learns that he doesn't need to bulk up to get Caroline's attention.

Pterodactyl

**Pterodactyls** are an extinct genus of pterosaurs that lived during the Jurassic period.

The whimsical crony of Andre, leader of the Scavengers in the second season *Dinosaurs* episode "Leader of the Pack", was a pterodactyl. Clad in a red tank top t-shirt bearing the name of his gang, the pterodactyl garnered little respect from his peers, least of all his leader.

The puppet would later be used for the less domesticated Pteranodon.
Ethyl Phillips

[Image:Dinosaurs-EthylPhillips.jpg|thumb|300px]]

**Ethyl Phillips**, neé Hinkleman, is the cranky mother of Fran Sinclair on *Dinosaurs*. Seventy-two-year-old Ethyl is wheelchair-bound, but still takes regular swipes at her son-in-law Earl Sinclair with her cane. Though the character's first taped appearance was "Employee of the Month," in which she comes to visit the Sinclair Home, her television debut came much earlier, in the first season episode "Hurling Day." After being persuaded by Robbie and Fran that she doesn't have to go through with Hurling Day and tantalized by the prospect of making Earl's life a continual misery, Grandma Ethyl becomes a permanent member of the Sinclair household.

The cynical Ethyl derides Earl as "Fat boy," but has a soft spot for Baby Sinclair, often reading children's stories or lurid romances to him. Ethyl's late husband was Grandpa Louie, who she still expresses a sentimental longing for.

## Notes

* The character was originally conceived as a pterodactyl who would hang inside the Sinclair's closet.

* Like the Sinclairs, B.P. Richfield, and Roy Hess, Ethyl's last name comes from an oil company -- the Phillips Petroleum Company. Her first name, Ethyl, also derives from oil producting roots.

Francois Poupon

**Francois Poupon** is a bird exchange student who switched places with Charlene Sinclair in the *Dinosaurs* episode "Getting to Know You". Francois hails from a nameless country clearly modeled after France. The new guest is rude, squawks continually, and insists that the Sinclairs entertain him continually. Baby Sinclair found Francois annoying, and ate him. His parents are Henri Poupon and Simone Poupon. To compensate for Francois' death, Earl is compelled to give the Poupons his television set.
Episode 405: Earl's Big Jackpot

Template:Episode

When Earl is injured on the job upon the workers working overtime and asks for a few days off, B.P. Richfield refuses and fires him instead. Robbie and Fran trick Earl into suing the WESAYSO Corporation for his $800 medical expenses. After a brief trial, Earl is ecstatic at the jury's award of $800 million. Earl begins to spend lavishly and behaves badly. Stung by the judgment and blaming Earl, Richfield announces massive layoffs and raises consumer prices. Earl doesn't see it that way and is happy with his new life. He is able to afford luxuries such as a tuxedo, a solid golden vehicle, champagne, and expensive food.

It is announced that millions of dinosaurs are suffering and supermarket products have extremely high prices, such as a loaf of bread costing $300. Roy asks for $15,000 to pay for his house rent offering to do yard work for the Sinclair family, and Sid holds a "Will Work For Food" sign pleading for water to Fran. Earl complains and refuses to give his friends any money, and even Robbie attempts to convince Earl to give back the money. Earl and Robbie offer B.P. Richfield the $800 million back, but when they tell they will only give it back if Richfield hires back all workers and lowers down prices back to normal. Richfield refuses, which Earl is relieved of since he plans to keep all the money. Earl accidentally reverses his golden vehicle and bumps Richfield's office trailer. Richfield screams out he has whiplash and that he'll sue, putting the Sinclair family and Richfield with his mother into court. The judge D.X. Machina is outraged when the jury claims Richfield must be paid back $800 million by Earl. The jury award that Earl won is returned back to WESAYSO while Richfield hires all workers and reduces back all consumer prices to normal. Fran asks if he's disappointed, but Earl disagrees, saying he is excited about cake when the court confirms a wedding.

Episode 320: We Are Not Alone

Template:Episode

Robbie tries to get his family to attend an environmental rally with him, but everyone declines. Robbie is especially upset with Earl, who prefers to watch his favorite TV reality show about alien sightings. At work, Richfield, in an effort to fool the environmentalists who named WESAYSO a top corporate polluter, orders Roy and Earl to take home barrels of toxic waste and bury them in the Sinclair's backyard. While digging, Earl and Roy are visited by an "alien" (Robbie) who tells Earl that what he is doing is wrong. The "alien" also tells him that he has been chosen to spread the word to other dinosaurs that they must respect and care for the environment or else the planet will be vaporized. Earl immediately changes his ways and sets out to rally the masses to help clean up the environment. He even badmouths WESAYSO and quits his job to devote all of his energies to his new mission. Earl soon finds out that the "alien" is Robbie and goes back to work at WESAYSO. Robbie tries to point out to Earl that what he has done is of real value, but Earl will have none of it and returns to his job and watching TV.

It's a Most Unusual Day

"**It's a Most Unusual Day**" is a song celebrating the exuberance of life. It has been covered by such artists as Andy Williams and used ironically by Alfred Hitchcock in *North by Northwest*.

Robbie and Earl Sinclair performed it on the *Dinosaurs* episode "A New Leaf," gleefully uninhibited by their ingestion of "the happy plant." They perform a complex dance, choreographed by suit performers Bill Barretta and Leif Tilden.
Episode 102: The Mating Dance

Template:Episode

   Earl shoulders household duties for a weekend, sending exhausted Fran to her mother's for a little rest and relaxation. When she returns to a frazzled Earl, singed baby and demolished household, Earl discovers that Fran's unhappiness doesn't stem from the kids--it's him! At Roy's suggestion, Earl takes a refresher course in the Mating Dance, attempting to once again woo and win his wife.

How Lovely to Be a Woman

"**How Lovely to Be a Woman**" was performed in the first act of the musical *Bye Bye Birdie*, as teenage Kim McAfee expresses the joys of entering her physical and sexual maturity as a woman.

Earl Sinclair sings a rather ironic version of it, as mandated by B.P. Richfield in "And the Winner Is...," to announce his candidacy for Chief Elder. The Sinclair family is aghast, but Earl defensively points out that the part was written for a mezzo-soprano.

This is the second song from *Bye Bye Birdie* to be performed on *Dinosaurs*, the first being "A Lot of Livin' to Do" in the episode "Family Challenge."
Episode 203: I Never Ate for My Father

Template:Episode

Robbie refuses to join a Young Male Carnivores Association and considers becoming a herbivore. Earl is appalled and hauls Robbie off to hunt in the wilderness, to reinforce the carnivore ethic: bigger eats smaller. When Robbie is eaten by an enormous swamp monster, Earl is forced to reconsider his philosophy. When he, too, is eaten, the father and son continue their argument inside the belly of the beast.

## Story

Robbie Sinclair has had a bad first day in the YMCA, the Young Male Carnivores Association. One of his friends suggests that maybe he is not cut out to be a carnivore, but Robbie disagrees, since the rest of his family members are carnivores, but his friend Dave, who is known for eating meat, confesses that he sometimes eats vegetables, and tells him of The Salad Bar, a place that serves them. At home, Earl becomes furious when he learns of what happened at the Young Male Carnivores Association. When Robbie asks why they always eat meat, Earl demands that he go to his room.

Earl and Fran go to Robbie's room and find that he has snuck out of the house. Earl snoops around Robbie's room, and finds a back of broccoli in his lunchbox, fearing that he's become an herbivore. Earl finds him at an herbivore restaurant, and drags him home.

Earl takes Robbie to the swamp to hunt some food. While there, they encounter a mammal who tells them that his son wanted to be an herbivore, too, so he ate him. This mammal warns them about a swamp monster who lives nearby, but only comes out when he's hungry. Just then, the swamp monster comes up and eats Robbie.

Earl comes home to break the bad news to Fran, but she knows that it takes a week for swamp monsters to digest their food, and she demands that they go out to rescue Robbie. They go to the swamp and find the monster, who eats Earl. He finds Robbie, and they continue to argue. Earl complains because Robbie doesn't always agree with him, and when Robbie asks if Earl disagreed with his father, he at first denies that he and his father had any arguments, but then admits that they did argue a lot. He says that when he was a kid, his father wanted him to live in dirt, and he wanted a better life. He then forgives Robbie for wanting to be an herbivore, and when they make up, they hear the swamp monster telling them not to be so mushy, because it makes him sick, so they express their love for each other until he throws them up. Afterwards, Fran serves meat and vegetables for dinner.

Episode 211: Switched at Birth

Template:Episode

Planning for the Baby's first birthday, the Sinclairs discover evidence that their baby may have been switched with another baby while still an egg. Earl is tantalized by the notion that there is a more polite, well-behaved baby out there somewhere who might be his son. Fran is unwilling to even consider the possibility until she meets the other baby -- who looks just like the Sinclair baby except that he's green and wears the exact same shirt as Earl -- and the other father shares certain personality traits with the Sinclairs' baby. A DNA test proves that the other baby is their son. After spending time with Aubrey for a while, the Sinclairs begin to get a little annoyed with him for his complaining and him being a geek, so they go to see Solomon the Great, where the doctor reappears and says that the information was switched in fact that Baby is the Sinclairs' real son after all.

Mr. Ashland

**Mr. Ashland** is the Chief Executive Officer of WESAYSO on *Dinosaurs*. He is notable for being the only dinosaur who has higher control over WESAYSO than B.P. Richfield. Richfield is in the same rank that was of another WESAYSO worker who was killed for disapprovement by Mr. Ashland. He appeared in "Power Erupts," proving that there are in fact dinosaurs even more evil than B.P. Richfield. Ashland summons Richfield, who kowtows before his superior, to discuss the corporation's strategy regarding Robbie Sinclair's free-energy concept. Ashland detests butt-kissers, mounting their heads on his wall, and keeps a pet lawyer, Elliot, in a box on his desk.

His ambitions are even more evil than B.P. Richfield. He believes that WESAYSO must gain their advantage by unfair cruelty to others, regardless of whom.

 Little Known Fact

## Biography

Shawdy was born in Egypt, the son of a politician. In diplomat training most of his childhood, his endowment was seen as a distraction from his mission, so his parents tried to suppress it as much as they could. He supported the Byzantine rule over Egypt, as being part of the powerful empire gave Egypt financial and physical security. He was the oldest of 12 children. No notable acts were documented of his bending.
Mr. Lizard

**Mr. Lizard** appeared on *Dinosaurs* as a parody of the television show *Watch Mr. Wizard*, whose host helpfully taught generations of children about science. Mr. Lizard's show, *Ask Mr. Lizard*, was vaguely related to scientific principles, but mostly existed as a way of ridding the world of young dinosaurs named Timmy. After the often violent death of his assistant, Mr. Lizard would cheerfully call off camera, "We're going to need another Timmy!"

Mr. Lizard first appeared in "The Golden Child", where he was voiced by Bill Barretta.
Al "Sexual" Harris

**Al "Sexual" Harris** is the lascivious field foreman in the *Dinosaurs* episode "What "Sexual Harris" Meant." Al invented innuendo, much to the dismay of Monica DeVertebrae, who he fired for rejecting his advances. The case results in the "Sexual Harris" hearings before the WESAYSO board of executives.
Minnie Pearl

**Minnie Pearl** (real name Sarah Cannon) was a comedian best known for her country humor and lengthy stints with *The Grand Ole Opry* and *Hee Haw*. Her trademarks included her "Howdeeee!" greeting and wearing a hat with a price tag dangling from it. She was a familiar TV presence through guest spots on various talk and variety series, including *The Jimmy Dean Show*.

## References

* In the third season *Dinosaurs* episode "Network Genius," one of the new smarter TV shows *Economics Hoe-Down* (spoofing *Hee-Haw* but broadcast from the Grand Ole Think Tank) features a Minnie Pearl caricature dinosaur (played by Julianne Buescher), complete with price tag on her hat.

Template:Wikipedia
Bob LaBrea High School

**Bob LaBrea High School** is a recurring location on *Dinosaurs*. This institution of dinosaur learning is attended by Robbie Sinclair, Charlene Sinclair, Spike, Mindy, and other dinosaur teenagers. Mr. Pulman is the resident science teacher, and indeed the only faculty member shown. Ray Gherkin serves as janitor. The school's athletic teams are known as the Rampaging Trilobites.

The school is named after Bob LaBrea, the inventor of Hurling Day.

The school's name is a reference to the La Brea Tarpits in California, one of the oldest and most famous fossil sites.

Cavepeople

**Cavepeople** are recurring background characters on *Dinosaurs*, and have occasionally figured in the main storylines. Only marginally smaller than the dinosaurs, their skin and hair, as well as a language unknown to the reptiles, causes them to be seen as inferior. Cavepeople were initially used for comic relief in early episodes, and humor is mined from their struggle to invent the wheel (the pilot) or two males in a zoo being encouraged to mate ("The Mating Dance"). However, later storylines used cavepeople as metaphors for the historical treatment of Native Americans and other indigenous peoples ("The Discovery") or for abuse of animals in zoos and circuses ("Charlene and Her Amazing Humans").

Episode 222: Slave to Fashion

Template:Episode

Feeling like a social outcast at school, Charlene begs her grandmother for money to buy an expensive fur coat none of the other girls have. The coat indeed makes Charlene the envy of her friends, but, unlike other status symbols, it talks (it's a live animal), and begins to make demands that cause Charlene to become alienated from her family and friends, especially her best friend.

Ty Warner

**Ty Warner** is the head of Volcanic Records in the third season *Dinosaurs* episode "Swamp Music." A patently insincere music executive, Warner boasts a wall full of gold records and exercises casual workplace harassment (until receptionist Trish threatens to call her lawyer).

Warner, after being initially dismissive of the music of Howlin' Jay and his mammal band, co-opts their songs and has bland dinosaur singer Perry Lewellen record them. The obscene amount of money he made is reason enough.
Mr. Pulman

**Mr. Pulman** is the bespectacled, weary science teacher at Bob LaBrea High School on *Dinosaurs*. He debuted in the second season episode "Employee of the Month" (in which Bruce Lanoil performed the body). He would be used periodically throughout the run of the series, teaching courses on caveman dissection, becoming involved in the debate over "mating dance" education, and chairing the school science fair.

In his final appearance, in the fourth season episode "Scent of a Reptile," Charlene briefly suspects the teacher may be attracted to her scent. In reality, he was simply longing to quench his thirst with the water fountain behind her.

Mr. Foreman

"**Mr. Foreman**" is one of twelve jurors who hear Earl's civil suit against WESAYSO in the *Dinosaurs* episode "Earl's Big Jackpot." The smiling foreman is easily swayed by the testimony and inherent cuteness of Baby Sinclair, and awards Earl 800 million dollars, instead of the $800 requested. The foreman is similarly gulled by Mr. Richfield's mother, and her home-made preserves, in the counter-suit. Judge D. X. Machina restores order, and also agrees with the foreman's complaint that two love-struck jurors have been mooning over each other too long.
Dr. Ficus

**Dr. Ficus** appears in the *Dinosaurs* episode "Germ Warfare." Possessing a resonant voice and authoritative manner, he attempts to diagnose Baby Sinclair's unusually extreme illness and prescribes pricey blue and orange medicines as miracle cures. The doctor's placid indifference to the failure of the blue medicine causes Fran Sinclair to lose faith in the medical establishment and seek help from Zabar instead.
Timmy

**Timmy** was not one character, but instead an interchangeable set of characters who "assisted" Mr. Lizard in his experiments on *Dinosaurs*. Each Timmy would come out, cheerfully start to help with the experiment, and be blown up, eviscerated, have his head blown off, or some other gruesome fate. Mr. Lizard, unfazed, would simply respond, "We're going to need another Timmy!" to hoorahs from Baby Sinclair and Earl Sinclair.

Timmy first appeared in the second season episode "The Golden Child."
Judge D. X. Machina

**Judge D. X. Machina** presides over the civil suit of Earl Sinclair vs WESAYSO in the fourth season *Dinosaurs* episode "Earl's Big Jackpot." The judge is taken aback by the 800 million dollars which the jury awards Earl; when he presides over B.P. Richfield's counter-suit, and the jury awards him the same amount, the judge steps in. He is outraged with how the jury gives "crazy jackpot awards" and he forbids them afterwards in his court. Embodying the term "activist judge," his honor orders Earl to return the money, Richfield to hire back the laid-off workers and lower prices, and when the foreman complains about two love-struck jurrors, he encourages them to wed and performs an instant marriage ceremony, somehow even manifesting cake in the lobby for a reception.

The judge's name is a reference to the Latin phrase and stock plot device of the *Deus ex machina*, whereby a figure (often a deity) or event suddenly resolves the situation.
Frank

**Frank** appeared in the *Dinosaurs* episode "Fran Live," as the host of the talk show *Just Listenin' with Frank*. He took calls from people with problems, but didn't give advice. When Fran Sinclair suggested that he actually solve the callers problems, producer Jerry Valentine liked the idea, and hired Fran as Frank's replacement.

Later, Frank called in to suggest that the advice show bring in couples to work out their difficulties through physical violence. This led to a new talk show,
*Just Throwin' with Frank*, effectively positioning Frank as the prehistoric Jerry Springer.
Episode 205: Endangered Species

Template:Episode

It's Earl and Fran's 20th wedding anniversary - the Grapdelite anniversary. Earl purchases a pair of Grapdelites, which are described sweet-tasting, adorable little mammals. Earl's friends comment about the increasing scarcity of the Grapdelites, and one jokes that Earl might have the last pair on Earth. Earl gives the pair to Robbie to hide until the anniversary. The Grapdelites befriend Robbie and confirm that they are the last of their species. Robbie becomes concerned for their fate and, after discovering that the pair consists of one male and one female, suggests that they have children.

Meanwhile, Richfield offers to buy the Grapdelites from Earl, who gives in after Richfield offers him $73 for them. ($50 for buying them because they were supposed to be Fran and Earl's dinner, $23 for Earl's dignity). Robbie tries to hide the Grapdelites from Earl, but returns them after the creatures tell him that their species doesn't have much of a chance if Robbie can't convince his own father of the lesson they taught him. After speaking with Robbie, Earl decides not to give the Grapdelites to Richfield due to their endangered situation. However, Richfield manipulates Earl, saying the WESAYSO Corporation has better resources to protect the creatures. Instead, he devours the pair as soon as Earl leaves his trailer.

Earl is heartbroken realizing he was deceived. Robbie reattempts to do his assignment on "Why Dinosaurs rule the Earth" until he hears the hatching of eggs. He finds two Grapdelite offspring under a blanket in his room next to his homework. When Earl is about to tell Robbie the bad news, he sees the Grapdelite offsprings as well, and the episodes ends with Earl and Fran having a happy anniversary with the Grapdelite offspring.

The Devil

**The Devil** appeared to tempt Earl Sinclair in the fourth season *Dinosaurs* episode "Life in the Faust Lane."

The Devil makes a deal to trade Earl's immortal soul for a collectible Fernhill mug, Cap'n Willy, the Ol' Salt. The Devil does so, boasting that he's the king of lawyers, and is presently suing the canned ham manufacturers for borrowing his likeness. Earl discovers a warranty on the mug, however, and so is able to stave off the Devil, who reluctantly restores everything the way it was prior to the fateful bargain.

The deal with the Devil is a reference to Faust, a German legend about a scholar who makes a deal with the Devil, selling his soul in exchange for knowledge and worldly goods.

Wesaysoland

**Wesaysoland** is a sprawling, corporate run family amusement park and the primary setting of the fourth season *Dinosaurs* episode "Variations on a Theme Park."

Wesaysoland was built and owned by WESAYSO as a magical way for WESAYSO employees and their families to take advantage of the newly instituted "vacation," and to spend money. Their target market is the young, the young at heart, and according to B.P. Richfield, "fat worthless tubs" like Earl Sinclair and Roy Hess. The family entertainment park was created in a single day, following the institution of vacations, through imagination, ingenuity, and a relaxed attitude towards building codes.

The park is a wasteland of unfinished rides, expensive concessions, and cheerful corporate mascots such as Moola the Cash Cow. Television in the park's hotel is limited to a stream of infomercials, all featuring B.P. Richfield, extolling the virtures of Wesaysoland.

The park is a thinly veiled parody of Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
Richard Simmons Dinosaur

**Richard Simmons Dinosaur** is an exercise instructor on Dinosaur TV, seen in the third season *Dinosaurs* episode "Nature Calls." Viewed by Fran Sinclair, Charlene Sinclair, and Monica DeVertebrae, the duckbilled fitness guru encourages the ladies to shake their tails and tighten their tushies.

The character is a parody of Richard Simmons, who also supplied the voice.
Fox Jacket

The **Fox Jacket** is a talking piece of trendy apparel in the *Dinosaurs* episode "Slave to Fashion." Purchased by Charlene Sinclair (with financial assistance from Mindy), the jacket is part of a clothing line which literally says "I'm better than you." The newly acquired status symbol, which speaks with a snooty British accent, begins encouraging Charlene to reject her old friends, steal Earl's credit card, and in general, inveigles Charlene into a near Faustian bargain in exchange for temporary popularity. The fickle jacket eventually wearies of Charlene and attaches itself to the more likeminded Heather Worthington.
Green Green Grassland

The **Green Green Grassland**(In Simplified Chinese 青青草原) is where the goat ancestor Soft Goat went to escape the Wolf Pack led by Martial Wolf. It is now where all the characters live in. However, the goats built a tall iron fence seperating them from from the wolves making them angry and from then on keep trying to break in.

Fernhill Mint

**Fernhill Mint** is a company that produces expensive mugs which make people feel more important. This company was mentioned in *Life in the Faust Lane*, in which Earl Sinclair trades his soul for one Fernhill Mint mug, Cap 'n Willie. B.P. Richfield owns 13 Fernhill mugs.

Fernhill mugs are apparently so valuable that owners need special security systems in order to protect them from being stolen. As a spokesman on the *Dino-Shopping Network* says, "You may not be able to afford one, but can you really afford not to have one?"
Stu Boombird

**Stu Boombird** appears in the third season *Dinosaurs* episode "Network Genius." A high-ranking television executive with the Antediluvian Broadcasting Company, Boombird struggles to program the new season with colleague Ted Hardshell. Stressed out by his job, Boombird prevents heart attacks by periodic shocks with defibrillator paddles.

After the failure of the new season, one year later, Boombird and Hardshell appoint Earl Sinclair as new VP. Boombird eagerly accepts Earl's ideas as the voice of the viewer, but later copes with the audience becoming too smart for TV.
Mel Luster

**Mel Luster** appeared in the *Dinosaurs* episode "The Mating Dance." Mel is the owner and sole instructor at Mel Luster's Mating Dance Academy. He caters to both first-time students and also offers a $29.95 refresher course for old married guys. Mel's expertise leads the Pangaean zoo to bring caveman Chang Chang to his school for emergency lessons.
Stegosaurus

The **Stegosaurus** is a recurring Unisaur hand puppet used on *Dinosaurs*. The stegosaurus was used exclusively as a background character, usually silent. His most notable speaking role occurred in "And the Winner Is...," as the government clerk present when the Chief Elder dies of a heart attack. The puppet also surfaces as a newsboy ("Charlene's Flat World"), a USO soldier/stagehand ("Nuts to War"), a caroler ("Refrigerator Day"), and several times as a student at Bob LaBrea High School.
