TIL that Craig Bartlett, the creator of the PBS Kids animated series "Dinosaur Train", also created the classic Nickelodeon cartoon "Hey Arnold!" (Which actually originated from Sesame Street)

I liked the way they'd introduce non-dinosaurs (and sneakily, the main pterosaur family are not technically dinosaurs either) from the fossil record, like the giant snake. There were definitely WAY worse things that I sat through, but PBS kids of that era had a ton of good shows (and now too? I dunno because it doesn't have Hatsune Miku and friends so therefore my daughter doesn't care). She actually still has an "Odd Squad" lore book in her backpack.
