Matt Groening is his former brother-in-law. Dinosaur Train was in the rotation when mine was little. It's not a top-tier "parents will notice the layers" one, but it's very tolerable and a good show for the littles.

    There were much worse shows than Dinosaur Train. Even adults could learn something while their kid watched.
    Now Caillou on the other hand...

    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.
