I love this show. it is a really good and educational for people who want to lean about dinosaurs and science. Also, you will find this show very cute at times because Shiny the blue Pteranodon has a crush on Gilbert (a junior conductor) and Lily has a crush on Don. I would recommend you watch this show.

So Much Better Than Sid The Science Kid! And That's A FACT!!!
SERIOUSLY, How did PBS Go from making something that looks just BLECH, to making something AMAZING?!?!? Sid The Science Kid which seemed like the beginning of the end for PBS Kids, but then, this glorious thing came around and being honest, I was pretty nervous considering what The Jim Henson Company brought us previously with Sid The Science Kid, or should I say Sid The Lack Of Science Kid, I was worried this would be a repeat despite the promos looking FAR BETTER, I was still worried, but after watching it, I LOVED IT! Sometimes this is my Favorite PBS Kids show of all time! Seriously, the animation looks BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Also Buddy is soooo relatable, while it has the typical Henson-CGI problems, it makes up for it with Fantastic Execution! While there can be a few too many new characters, this is still a beautiful show with fantastic animation and backgrounds, seriously, if you want a truly great science centered animated show, Skip Sid and watch this one!

Very Useful
Depending on the perspective of the kid in question this could either be very interesting or very boring, If your kid is interested in nature and the like they'd probably enjoy this a lot; but I find that a lot of younger kids these days prefer other shows.
What I find most valuable in this show, looking back upon it, is the information inside that it gives in an interesting way. In addition, the information you subconsciously learn from this show can still be used in school, including high school biology quizzes.

Now THIS Is how you make a good CGI Henson Show!
This is my favorite PBS Kids show and considering these people made the disasterous Sid The Science Kid, this is a HUGE Improvement, I bet they looked at themselves and said "Sid looks hidious, let's ditch Mo-Cap and use some ACTUAL Computers." And Boy they made the right move, The Animation is absolutely STUNNING And Beautiful to look at, I'd say this is the best CGI, and the best animation I've seen in a TV Series! This is what The Jim Henson Company is known for, making great shows that have that sense of Humor, Unlike Sid, the humor in this series is Laugh Out Loud (LOL) Funny! I'm happy this replaced Sid permanently. I Loved it as a kid and I still do today!

Very good show growing up
This show was really good. My family owned lots of discs. My favorite episode was about teeth. If you don't know, It starts out with Tiny, Shiny, Don, and Buddy playing hopscotch. Buddy keeps chewing on his stick, and his tooth falls out. Later, he finds out that losing baby teeth is normal. At the end of the episode, Buddy is shown eating a mint leaf.

Enriching!
Super enriching! I saw my little sister watching this and I just joined her, and it's cute and fine! Super educational and loads of paleontological information and breeds curiosity for small kids! Me being a high-schooler, I learn some new things too!

REMOVE THE CRUSHES
This show is about a train that travels through time. Well, first of all, nice idea, but I’m pretty sure Richard Trevithick is rolling in his grave right now. Secondly, the crushing. Shiny is crushing on a trodon, Don is crushing on a Lambeosauraus, and Tiny is crushing on a Petinosauraus. Buddy doesn’t have one, yet there is ANOTHER GIRL T-REX IN THE SHOW! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CREATORS? Also, the parents go on date nights too much. Sure, they’re married and all, but it gets annoying. Overall, I don’t like the show, but my 7 year old brother is obsessed with it.

Dinosaur Train is the Rip-off of a combination of Jurassic Park and Thomas the Train and it set in prehistoric. I heard that ZoeyLovesUnicorns101 says “rip-off combination of Jurassic Park and Thomas and the Tank Engine”. I prefer Jurassic Park than DT and I love Jurassic as 7 but I don’t like the swearing. However JP is fun to watch and my dad let me to watch this. It has great music that I would sing and listen to music. The CGI is bland, I don’t like the bland CGI because it’s blended, blurry, and make your eyes blurry. It is plotless, unoriginal and it is boring. The Theme song is lame. Ok this show often has the characters saying that certain dinosaurs acted a certain way even though the people who did the research only assume these things because no person alive today has observed a actual wild dinosaur since they have been extinct for many centuries. How can you know how something behaved based merely on fossilized remains? You can make educated guesses on their diet based on their teeth, however they make specific behavioral assumptions that have no actual proof and present them as factual when in reality they are just assuming things that are most likely inaccurate. Also the characters can be rather annoying at times. I saw this when I was about a kid watching PBS and it doesn’t grab my attention. DT cancels right now. Don’t recommend Dinosaur Train!
Sorry, DogCat! I like America's Got Talent but Tyra Banks is Ms. Soto! Terry isn't annoying! Did she have seen Adem Dance Crew? She think it's not a rip-off and have she seen ZoeyLovesUnicorns101? It's not a movie, it's a series!
