8/10

very likable show

One of my favorite shows as A kid, But its serious enough to be enjoyed by adults as well with A modern family getting trapped in A prehistoric world and helping a prehistoric family get along usually applying some modern technology and know how to solve various problems, couple that with the children adding to their problems you have A very entertaining show for both the young and young at heart, I only wish it had A longer run (I believe it was 16 episodes or so) than 1 season and I would like to see it released on DVD soon, lord knows there are some shows released to DVD that are A lot worse and not near as enlightening as this show!
