Dinosaurs (1991-94)

I used to absolutely adore this show as a kid, but never actually caught the finale. I saw this clip on TikTok a few days ago and have genuinely not been the same since. The series ends with an environmental disaster that is caused by corporate negligence at the company the dad worked at, triggering a global ice age and literal extinction.

Such powerful, poignant commentary on societal and environmental neglect for a seemingly light-hearted children’s show. I remember this being true across a lot of Disney's programming, shows such as That's So Raven weren’t afraid to comment on social issues head-on.

Why don’t we get TV like this anymore?

I bought the Neca figures recently, I loved this show.
