And, here's a more recent effort.



You can see Josh in the Tar Pits portion of the "Dinosaurs; Then and Now" special feature on the "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" DVD, or you can meet him in person at the 2nd Jurassic Con this October 13th. Check the Jurassic Con Facebook page for more info.

In the early 90s, Midwich Entertainment was approached by a major software developer to come up with an idea for an interactive computer program somewhat based on the Gary and Eric dinosaur shows. Basically, it was going to turn your monitor into "Dinovision" = dinosaurs producing and starring in all television programming. Everybody loved the idea, but it turned out that the technology wasn't up to speed yet. Too bad, it would have been fun. Below, the Garyosaurus is the host of a game show in presentation art by Charlie Chiodo.
