Sorry, but as someone who grew up with this show, I _cannot_ and _will not_ accept Dinosaur Train slander.

As for me, my parents completely despise Spongebob Squarepants, and would never let me watch it when I was younger (I was more of a PBS kid). Nowadays, I watch it on occasion, and…it’s alright. Nothing absolutely groundbreaking, but I still get some chuckles out of it.

I too will rise to the defense of Dinosaur Train. It’s funny, educational (about dinosaurs…the train is actually a time machine that allows them to meet dinosaurs of all the various epochs) and we liked that the main characters are an adoptive family (a family of pteranodons that adopted a T. Rex).

The one I could never tolerate sitting through was _Babar the Elephant_. So bland and mind numbing.

I absolutely loathed _Little Bear._
