Dino Dan is a Canadian TV show that first aired on Nick Jr. in 2010. The series stars Jason Spevack as the titular character, Dan Henderson, a 10-year-old boy who is obsessed with dinosaurs. Throughout the show, Dan imagines himself interacting with dinosaurs in his everyday life, often pretending that the creatures are right in front of him.

The show is set in present-day with Dan navigating the challenges of elementary school, friendships, and family while being accompanied by CGI-rendered dinosaurs. Dan is always eager to learn more about dinosaurs, and he takes every opportunity he can get to explore their world.

One of the most impressive features of the show is the blend of live-action and CGI elements. Dan interacts with real actors, while the dinosaurs are brought to life through computer-generated imagery. This combination makes for a convincing and immersive experience, allowing viewers to feel like they too are playing and interacting with dinosaurs in the great outdoors.

The show has an educational bent, with each episode focusing on a specific type of dinosaur or prehistoric creature. Whether Dan is studying a Tyrannosaurus Rex, a Stegosaurus or a Triceratops, viewers will learn fun facts and interesting information about the creature in question.

Dino Dan is designed to be an entertaining and educational show for kids aged 4-8, and it achieves this goal admirably. While the show is in many ways a fantasy, it also takes care to remain grounded in reality. Dan's character is well-written, and he is shown to have strong parental relationships with two caring and involved parents who work as zoologists.

Another aspect of the show that parents may appreciate is that the interactions with the dinosaurs never feel overly violent or aggressive. Instead, the dinosaurs are depicted as imaginative playmates who help Dan learn about the world around him.

Overall, Dino Dan is a fun and engaging show for young children who love dinosaurs. It balances its educational elements with engaging characters and situations, making for a show that's both enjoyable and informative. Fans of the show will be pleased to know that it has spun off into a number of other series, such as Trek's Adventures, Dino Dan: Trek's Adventures, and Miss Persona.

Dino Dan is a series that ran for 5 seasons (80 episodes) between October 18, 2010 and on Nick Jr.
