Dinosaurs
One of the biggest legacy shows being coming to Disney+ this month is “Dinosaurs”. This show from the 1990’s follows a family of dinosaurs residing in the modern world.

From the Jim Henson Company comes a late-night talk show hosted by alien commander Ned and his lieutenant Cornelius, who call off the invasion of Earth after they fall in love with human culture. Broadcasting from the bridge of their spaceship, hidden deep underground, Ned and Cornelius interview Earth’s greatest resource, celebrities. With the help of the ship’s artificial intelligence, BETI, and the destructive CLODs, Ned must keep his show a secret from his home planet or suffer the wrath of his father, the Admiral of the Galactic Fleet.
Disney added 10 new episodes of this series on Friday 1st January, featuring guests such as Ginnifer Goodwin, Alan Tudyk, Kevin Smith, and Penn & Teller.
