[[Dino Dan]] is a live action television series on Nick Jr.
It follows the adventures of a young boy named Dan who is obsessed with dinosaurs. He lives and breathes dinosaurs. He seems to be the only one who is able to see the dinosaurs in his neighborhood, though it's never explained how he's able to, be it due to his active imagination or he's hallucinating them.
