Here are my reviews for the episodes that I've watched so far.
Nature Calls One of the seasons best episodes, and it deserved to have audio commentary. Interestingly, at the end Baby decides that he's ready to be potty traned, but he continues to wear diapers throughout the rest of the shows run. 5 stars.
Baby Talk Another of the seasons best episodes, and one of my favorites. Smoo is a very funny word. For some reason I don't remember Earl's protesting of television having bad family values becomming a problem for everyone. And I especially don't remember Earl wearing pants. It's a shame that this classic didn't get audio commentary (we may never know for sure if this title was meant to be a reference to the short-lived ABC sitcom Baby Talk, which was cancled around the time that this episode was broadcast). 5 stars.
Network Genius I have only seen the last half of this episode a few times. Most of the fictional TV shows (even the ones that Earl doens't like) are hilarious. I especially liked that psychotic-looking baby who constantly repeated "Not the pajamas!" (it seems like this character was spoofing Baby Sinclairs popularity). I watched this after watching Baby Talk, and I noticed that while the network executives introduce "TV Guide Book" in this episode, it had already been seen in Baby Talk (perhaps this episode was produced first). Five stars.
Dirty Dancing I only remembered seeing this once, on ABC, and back then thought that the epsiode was about Fran substituting Robbie's class (she doesn't substitute, and her presence in Robbie's class isn't the main plot). A very funny episode. 4 stars.
Getting to Know You I really like this episode. Features one of my favorite scenes from the show (the scene where Baby tells the bird "I've got a present for you", the bird says, "And where would I find that?", and the Baby says, "In my diaper!"). 5 stars.
Green Card Oddly enough, I remember watching this once in syndication, remembering that Roy and Monica got married, and then remembered seeing the beginning of this episode in syndication a few times, but hadn't realised that these were the same episode. The racist attitude against four-legged creatures is funy. It is a shame that Roy and Monica didn't stay married. But it is one of the few episodes where Roy was a star. It's also funny at the beginning, where Earl complains about how when there is one successful show that all television producers want to make similar shows, leading to the Baby sayong one of Bart Simpson's catch phrases, "Don't have a cow, Dad!" 5 stars.
Wilderness Weekend I don't remember seeing this one before, but it's funny how the male dinosaurs suddenly act like women, while the female dinosaurs drink beer and act like men. And I guess it's great that we get to see Sid Turtlepuss's wife. 4 stars.
Steroids to Heaven Like A New Leaf, this is an anti-drug episode, but this episode takes the effects of drugs more seriously. It is interesting that Spike actually cares about Robbie not taking thornoids. This episode should have been given some commentary. 4 stars.
License to Parent I think this is the first epsiode to show Dinosaurs driving automobiles (in earlier episodes it seems like the Dinosaurs just walked everywhere, though it wasn't specifically stated if they walekd or rode in vehicles). I remember seeing this episode when it was first broadcast, and spent years looking at episode guides to figure out which one this was, and also saw the end in syndication and didn't put the two together (since by then I only remembered Earl driving and takignt he Baby to parenting classes). 4 stars.
Honey, I Miss the Kids This episode seems like a mix between The Mating Dance (Fran being unhappy, and Roy suggesting that Earl spend some time with the kids) and Fran Live (Fran getting a job). 4 stars.
The Clip Show II The second clip show, and it's actually better than the first one. 5 stars.
Earl, Don't Be a Hero One of the few last season episodes that I actualy saw during the shows original run (along with Nature Calls). For the last few years I had wondered if the Captain Impressive action figure was really the Earl toy dressed up, but then I looked at my toy while watching this, and it's obvous that they are different, even if they are similar. The Captain Impressive toy looks more like the model of Earl Sinclair that was seen in one of the features (it might have been an easter egg) on the first set. It's also interesting that the Captain Impressive action figure has a removable costume that would reveal Earl's identity. Also, in Leader of the Pack, whenever Captain Action Figure was talkign about his products and the product names appeare don screen, they all had trademark symbols next to them. In this episode, whenever the name of Captain Action Figures products appeared on-screen, there were no trademark symbols. 5 stars.
Driving Miss Ethyl A funny epsiode, with Earl driving Ethyl to her high school reunion and Fran trying to get the kids to pose for a portrait. However, it seems like at the end, while Earl and Ethyl seem to ahve become friends, Ethyl wasn't as friendly to Earl as I had remembered (though I do remember seeing Ethyl hit Earl before the picture was taken). And I think this was the only epsidoe to specifically mention that it's the year 60,000,002 B.C., instead of 60,000,003 B.C. (the year is listed on a baner at the reuunion). Also interesting that Ethyl expected all of her friends to be there, considering that she chose not to be hurled in Hurling Day. 3 stars.
Terrible Twos A really funny episode, with the Baby turning two and becomming a demon. I liked it when Baby broke Robbie's present because it wasn't bought at a store, and when Bbay watches Blarney. And with this episode, all three of Baby's birthdays were celebrated (even if the thrid one wasn't really his birthday). 4 stars.
Changing Nature The Dinosaurs last episode, and a rather disturbing last episode for such a family series. However, it should have been nominated for an emmy. It also should have had audio commentary. 5 stars.
Into the Woods This episode is a lot better than I had remembered it, though I stil don't think it deserved audio commentary in place of the episodes that I previously stated should have had commentary. I like it when Earl Robbie, and Roy get stuck in the tar pit, and I like the creature who Baby meets. This must be one of the few Dinosaurs characters who Steve Whitmire voiced. And it's great to see the man who is probably Roy's father. 4 stars.
Variations on a Theme Park One of the best unaired episodes, and this one also should have had commentary. Lots of great Disney parodies here. 5 stars.
Earl and Pearl One of my least favorites, though it is also better than I remembered it. I wonder if the shows producers actually built a Pearl costume, or if a previously-used Earl body was reused, or if blue-screen technology was used (though I couldn't tell if Pearl was matted in her scenes with Earl or not). This episode was probably produced and/ or written and meant to be aired before Driving Miss Ethyl, since Pearl was mentioned by either Robbie or Charlene in that episode, yet in this one they had hardly even heard about her. And when Roy first meets her, he acts the same way he (usually) does whenever he's talking to Monica (though he soon stops this attitude around Pearl). It's probably one of the most musical episodes. 3 stars.
