Question ID: 378723
In the late 1980's my son had a copy of a video about dinosaurs.
The man who narrates the documentary type show, gradually changes into a
dinosaur.  (This was not a cartoon.) The last shot of the narrator is of him
walking away and he has a tail.  I would like to know name of this show or video
and how I could find a copy of it. I have searched dinosaurs and videos for
a few weeks and I have had no luck.

Hello.

I believe that the video was "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs."

From RottenTomatoes.com:

"Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs (1987)
As they search frantically for a way to stop Gary from turning into a
prehistoric creature, hosts Gary and Eric stumble onto the latest
dinosaur discoveries! They meet an Ultrasaurus, see a Dinosaur Street
Dance, travel to London's Crystal Palace Park, explain how dinosaurs
became extinct and decide what they might look like if they were still
around today. But the big question is: can they find the solution to
Gary's transformation in time?"

Also see:
"Is it possible that your host Gary Owens is undergoing an astounding
metamorphosis? Could the unthinkable, incredible truth be that he is
actually turning into...a dinosaur? Join Gary and his sidekick Eric
Boardman as they journey into the mysterious world of dinosaurs."

Wow! You are phenomenal ! You gave me the correct answer to a question that
my son has been bugging me about AND I received your reply in less
than 24 hours. I sent your information to my son, (he's in college)
and he said that was it! That is the video that he was looking for. 
Thank you for your help.  If I had known about you sooner, I wouldn't
have wasted so much time.
