An all-new CGI-animated series from the Jim Henson Company debuts in fall 2009. Buddy, a preschool-age Tyrannosaurus Rex, takes the Dinosaur Train to meet dinosaurs of different eras and learn about these incredible creatures. These whimsical voyages to prehistoric jungles, swamps, volcanoes and oceans encourage basic scientific thinking and skills needed to learn about natural science, natural history and paleontology.

and 5:30/4:30 a.m. and 2:00/1:00 p.m. MT/PT on the HD Channel
Martha, the dog whose appetite for alphabet soup gives her the ability to speak, steps out of Susan Meddaugh’s best-selling children’s books. Using her vocal abilities and wearing disguises, Martha gets jobs, foils bad guys, wins contests and orders lots of steaks. In her vocabulary-rich environment, Martha helps 4- to 7-year-olds bolster vocabulary within the context of great stories.

Then he embarks on a day of finding answers with the help of family and friends.
