License to Parent (Dinosaurs)

License to Parent is the eighth episode of season three of the Disney sitcom Dinosaurs. It is the 37th episode overall.

Plot
Earl loses his parenting license after getting so many tickets from Officer Bettelheim. Until he retakes the parenthood test, he is unable to parent for a month. Fran's license gets revoked as well when she is also labeled a bad parent. In the end, Fran and Earl realize that true parenthood comes from the heart.

Why It Should Be Parenting

 * 1) It was a total torture Earl and Fran episode.
 * 2) The story is badly written, as it is set in a very dark tone.
 * 3) There are many very bad reasons as to why this episode is a bad torture episode:
 * 4) *Earl's parent license was taken away by Bettelheim.
 * 5) *Earl is being sent to Parents Ed's, as the Parent Examiner Officer Brazalten teaches the fathers about bad parenting.
 * 6) *Brazalten orders Earl not to parent for thirty days until he retakes the test.
 * 7) *Bettelheim writes Fran a ticket, which is angred her.
 * 8) *Fran loses her parent license for being mean to Robbie.
 * 9) *Fran's license was suspended, for yelling at Baby Sinclair for causing the folded clothes unfolded when he "wanted to help".
 * 10) *Earl and Fran are being banned for parenting by Bettelheim. See the image above.
 * 11) Baby Sinclair, Robbie and Charlene are extremely unlikable.
 * 12) Countless and pointless plot holes.
 * 13) Poor directing, from Bruce Bilson.
 * 14) During the post-end credits, Charlene is the only one that does not get any punishments for her actions and gets away scot-free for tattling on her brother Robbie.

Redeemed Qualities

 * 1) There's a few very funny moments, including the scene with Earl stealing the cupcake and ate it.
 * 2) The animatronic, voice acting, and music composition are overall decent.
 * 3) Earl's funny line, "Oh, smoo", was a very good throwback of the previous third season episode, "Baby Talk".
 * 4) Baby Sinclair has a few funny moments.
 * 5) Good Ending: Earl and Fran rips out the parenting line, finally punished Officer Bettelheim for pulling the gun on Robbie and Charlene, as Earl and Fran brought back their parent licenses.
