Programming note: 'I'm in! I'm in! I'm in the Dino Squad!' Dino Squad coming to KidsCo on weekdays from September.


Five kiddos from Kittery Harbour go on a field trip, come into contact with primordial ooze, and each acquire the power to turn into a different kind of dinosaur.

Now Roger, Max, Caruso, Fiona and Buzz must work together to save their home and the Earth from global warming. New Captain Planet/Turtles/Might Morphin whatzamacallits are here and they're called Dino Squad on KidsCo (TopTV 255/ DStv 308) weekdays at 06:25 and 17:10 from September.

Catchy theme song (with words)! Cool premise! And the evil place? oooh ... Raptor Dine (below). KidsCo was awesome enough and likes their channel's new acquisition enough to courier over the first few episodes of Dino Squad for me. Lots of cool exposition in the first episode to explain everything, then ... action.

Dino Squad has a secret laboratory in a lighthouse (actually the secret lab of their science teacher Mrs Moynihan who's actually a good Velociraptor).
