The dinosaurs did have a highly successful multi-million year run.
In news that has rocked the entertainment industry, JBC is to cancel its most popular show,
The Dinosaurs, after a run of only three geological periods.
We obtained a rare interview with Jay Hoover, the reclusive creator of
The Dinosaurs, to ask why he was walking away from his biggest hit.
"In the end, it was just getting stale", he explained. "We've been making them bigger and adding more spiky bits, but in the end we were trapped inside our own formula --- you know, a perforated acetabulum, an elongate deltopectoral crest, a tibia with a caudolateral flange, episode after episode. The viewers deserve better than that."
The show was already losing its audience share after the extinction of some of its more popular stars, the Ceretopia, and, as Hoover explained, studio executives felt it was "time to pull the plug". But JBC is promising that
The Dinosaurs will have a jaw-dropping season finale. "There'll be real fireworks," promises Hoover. "It'll be explosive".

The Birds is expected to continue for at least one more geological period.
Asked about his plans for the future, Hoover hinted that he had been working on a concept involving "mammary glands and viviparous reproduction", but refused to be drawn on the details. "Nothing is set in stone," he explained, "except the Archean, the Cambrian, the Ordovician, the Silurian, the Devonian, the Carboniferous, the Permian, the Triassic, the Jurassic, and most of the Cretaceous".
