Ep 5. Jurassic Pooch / Orgon Grindor / Dimwit Dexter

In Dexter's Laboratory season 1 episode 5, viewers are taken on a wild ride in three different short stories. The first short, "Jurassic Pooch," showcases Dexter's latest invention, a time machine dog collar that he uses to bring his dog back from the Jurassic era. However, when the dog returns to current day, it brings back a hungry and vicious dinosaur alongside it. In an effort to fix his mistake, Dexter frantically tries to send the dinosaur back in time, all while keeping his lab a secret from his mother.

The second short, "Orgon Grindor," follows Dexter as he attempts to create the perfect romantic match for his lonely best friend, Douglas. Using his mad scientific skills, Dexter creates an Orgon Grindor machine that is supposed to find a soulmate for Douglas. However, when the machine malfunctions and starts wreaking havoc on the city, it's up to Dexter to save the day and help his friend find love the old fashioned way.

The final short, "Dimwit Dexter," explores the ramifications of Dexter's experiment to increase his own intelligence. After creating a helmet that is supposed to enhance his brainpower, Dexter accidentally switches the settings and ends up becoming a dimwit instead. With all of his smarts wiped away, Dexter must rely on the guidance of his little sister Dee Dee to help fix the machine before he becomes stuck in his newfound stupidity forever.

Throughout the episode, viewers are treated to the signature zaniness and wit that made Dexter's Laboratory such a beloved cartoon during its original run. From Dexter's frantic attempts to hide his lab from his mother to his goofy antics as a dimwitted scientist, there's never a dull moment in season 1 episode 5. With bright colors, fun characters, and plenty of laughs, this episode is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike.
