Finally, after waiting years for several shows to come out on DVD from Discovery Channel. Yes, we get these shows all on two DVDs! Including the very popular Dinosaur Planet. Here is a list is a shows that are one the two DVDs.

- Valley of the T-Rex

- When Dinosaurs Roamed America

- Utah's Dino Graveyard

- Dinosaur Planet (includes all 4 episodes!!!)

- The Mystery Dinosaur

- Dinosaurs: Return To Life

- T-Rex: New Science, New Beast

Trust me, this is a must have for anyone who loves dinosaurs and loves to learn about them and be entertained. Buy this set! It's worth the cost, which is pretty good. It's eight hours of pure entertainment!

5.0 out of 5 stars Do not confuse with Wilking With series..., November 9, 2008

This review is from: Discovery Essential Dinosaur Pack (DVD)

The Essential Dinosaur Pack is more than 8 hours of dinosaur programs by the Discovery Channel. Lots of dinosaur action, groundbreaking discoveries, dinosaur facts, stories and just plain fun. Great for the kiddies and adults and something that makes a great gift for anybody, anytime, anywhere. The shows cover everything from telling us the story of the T. Rex, and the mystery of how he lived his life, to the ideas of bringing dinosaurs back to life via the DNA of birds. Raptors, fossils and birds, this is a wonderful peek into dinosaurs and how we see them.

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECT COMPANION TO THE BBC DINO SERIES!, September 6, 2009

This review is from: Discovery Essential Dinosaur Pack (DVD)

Where as the BBC series "Walking with Dinosaurs",(also including "Chased by Dinosaurs", "Walking with Monsters" and "Allosaurus", nicely takes us right there amongst these glorious beasts,(many amazingly convincing and lifelike), the "Discovery Essential Dinosaur Pack" brings us neatly back to the present so we can understand the "study" of dinosaurs.
Therefore, not only do we get to see even more "convincing" dinosaurs rampaging all over the place,(don't worry, there's plenty!), we also get a great deal of scientific "hands on" documentary insight from many of the best known paleontologists around, as well as plenty of step by step analysis and documentation.
This goes perfectly with the BBC series.
