An invitation to step into the humorous and imaginative world of James Thurber
A series based on a selection of his famous stories and cartoons
[Starring] William Windom as John Monroe, Joan Hotchkis as his wife Ellen, Lisa Gerritsen as Lydia

This week: The Human Being and the Dinosaur
What is the sense in being superior if you can't take advantage of it once in a while? Take the dinosaur. It stands to reason that if it had not been inferior to the human being it wouldn't extinct. It would still be around to enjoy the wonderful things the human being has made of the world. You have to be careful though because all inferior creatures have a nasty habit of being very smart when you least expect it. Maybe the dinosaur was just being smart and quit while he was ahead.
