What Season 4 of Dinosaurs

The fourth season of Dinosaurs keeps the show's premise. The Sinclairs, a family of anthropomorphic dinosaurs, live in 60,000,003 BC in Pangea, with TVs, home appliances, and cars, and lead a middle-class life like that of the 1990s. Earl pushes trees for Wesayso under the orders of B.P. Richfield, and at home he has to deal with Fran, their three kids, and his mother-in-law Ethyl. Conflicts range from an imaginary monster under Peanut's bed to a workplace accident that ends up in a lawsuit. Earl also falls into toxic waste and wants to become a superhero to impress his baby. The satire of everyday customs ties each story together.
