Parque Prehistórico

With an excellent blending of computer graphics and live action filming this series brings dinosaurs to life in a way no other series has. The combination of anthropology and current day zoology makes for an enlightening look into the lives of dinosaurs. Our 5 year old son absolutely loves Prehistoric Park and watches each of the 6 currently available episodes repeatedly. Prehistoric Park has replaced Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Curious George and all his other cartoon favorites. It's all he wants to watch. All I can say is, Thank You TiVo. Without it my son would not be able to get his daily dose of Prehistoric Park. He constantly asks me to check the website to see if another episode is finally available. Even his older brothers ages 13 and 10 find this series interesting and eagerly await a new episode featuring another prehistoric animal whether dinosaur or ice age mammal. As for the adults in the family, we find the antics of Nigel and his staff as entertaining as the dinosaurs. Admittedly there are some parts that will make the more mature roll his or her eyes but that is also part of the charm of the show and what draws the younger viewers.

The series is educational, interesting and funny. I got the box set and i enjoy watching it. Alomst everyone in my family does, we have not had the disk that long but it has already been watched millions of times, and I'm surprised it hasn't broken. Each episode focuses on a different time so no matter which part of the prehistoric history you are interested in, it will be there with plenty of fun clips and facts. Another bonus is that the animation is excellent and at times believable. As well as facts there is a story with each one, sometimes sad and sometimes scary. For anyone this is a great series and well worth watching!

This series is definitely the most entertaining on TV after the end of Dr who season 2. In a world full of reality TV trash, it's good to see a TV show with some effort put into it! This series is far from perfect- the effects are lesser to those of Jurrassic park and walking with dinosaurs even though they are 13 and 7 years old! And it doesn't have that 'wow' factor that the other two had. Maybe this is because of it's odd docu-style format. The title is a complete rip-off they could have come up with a more original name, couldn't they?! After just seeing 1 episode, i'd give it 8 out of 10. I'm deducting points because it's a bit of a rip off. But i'm sad that there won't be a second series until at least 2008. I was thinking i would be disappointed by this show because of the common and annoying amount of adverts ITV has injected onto us-- and i wasn't. :) :D

This documentary series has an interesting format. It is presented like a regular zoo or animal show but it contains prehistoric animals along the lines of Walking With Dinosaurs. It makes for a very engaging and hands-on approach.

OK heres the dillio. This show is the bomb. It shows amazing CGI effects and good , slightly over-done acting. I love it. If you don't get the show torrent it. I found five episodes , the sixth should be up in a few days. Many people say that this is a rip-off of Walking with Dinosaurs and Walking with Prehistoric Beasts. Interesting theory but no. This show was done by the makers of the Walking with series. Some of the animals had a makeover ( phorusracus , meganeura) but some are the same (mammoth , arthropleura , giant scorpion , etc.). This show follows Nigel Marvin who also played himself in two other walking with specials (The Giant Claw , Land of Giants , Chased by Sea Monsters) . So , if you can stand the overacting give this show a watch.

PS. BOB ROCKS!!!
