Title card

"The Grass is Always Dinner" is the eighth episode of Yabba-Dabba Dinosaurs season one. It aired on September 30, 2021 on HBO Max. It was written by Steve Clemmons, produced by series creators, Mark Marek and Marly Harpen-Graser, and directed by Erik Knutson.

Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm invite a cow-like dinosaur from the Crags to eat his lawn, so Bamm-Bamm can get out of doing his chores, but it ends up eating everything in sight over both families' gardens, including Wilma's precious flowers.

Behind the scenes

• The episode title is a reference to the saying "The grass is always greener." You're welcome.
• This feels like it was written to be the pilot. The style is fairly different from the rest of the series; Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm act relatively new to the Crags, the Crags have a leader, who is presence is largely reduced in other episodes, and Barney attempts to do a Family Guy-style cutaway joke.
• National Jurassic is a parody of National Geographic.
• Dino does a dab dance, which seems to have been the sole reason for Boomerang SVOD dropping it from its planned 2019 streaming, after animation fans negatively responded to it. Sigh.

Everlasting influence

• King T-Rocks reappears in "Bammnesia" and then several other episodes.
