Dinosaur Train New PBS Series Chugging To Your TV This Fall

We are huge fans of PBS in our house and amongst their favorite shows are Sid The Science Kid. I have always loved this series because they can actually learn things from it.  I have always loved the things that Jim Henson Company has done and was a huge fan of The Muppets when I was a kid so when I hear his name, I am always interested in seeing new programs.

PBS KIDS will debut an all-new CGI-animated series, DINOSAUR TRAIN, this Fall.   The new series embraces and celebrates the fascination that preschoolers have with both dinosaurs and trains while encouraging basic scientific thinking and skills as the audience learns about natural science, natural history and paleontology. The series will join other top-ranked PBS KIDS preschool series including The Jim Henson Company’s series SID THE SCIENCE KID, which premiered in fall 2008.  I can’t wait to show this to my boys because they adore  anything with trains and have a whole collection of dinosaurs that they play with.

DINOSAUR TRAIN is seen through the eyes of Buddy, a preschool-aged Tyrannosaurus Rex. Buddy and his adoptive family of Pteranodons go for adventures on the Dinosaur Train to meet all kinds of dinosaurs in different eras and learn fascinating new facts about these incredible creatures.

This looks like this might be a big hit amongst my twins and for any preschool aged child.  I am looking forward to watching this with my boys.  The best part about it, is I can watch all of this stuff as an adult and enjoy it with the excuse that I have kids!  I am a big kid at heart so it doesn’t take much to excite me.

PBS and Jim Henson have always offered quality kids entertainment in my opinion so I have high hopes that this will be yet another great show.  Keep and eye out for Dinosaur Train chugging to your tv in Spetember of 2009!
