Our Review of Jurassic Fight Club
These "documentaries" keep on getting better and better as time goes on. No longer do we have to be bored by some scientist talking about a dinosaur or some other subject while only showing us an artists rendering of an item, place or event. In the first episode, not only do experts talk about the dinosaur and events but using extremely sophisticated computer generated animation, it was almost like you were watching the real thing happen. Even if you do not want to learn anything, it is even worth watching with the sound off -- however, the show does provide a lot of details to the on screen action.
The series depicts the fighting abilities and habits of these prehistoric monsters. With some amazing detail, the paleontologists (shhh . . . here's a secret, I wanted to be a paleontologist when I was as a kid) tell us about the dinosaurs themselves and their habits. They also provide us with information about the potential weaponry possessed by these behemoths as well as their weaknesses. Using computer graphics they hone in on each of these areas to provide us with insight as to how the dinosaurs would have fought their prey or for for survival. In the first episode they reconstruct a multi-million year old in Madagascar site where fossils from a Majungatholus were found and provided details of how he died in battle and how he might have fought.
Although some of the scenes are a little bit graphic and might not be appropriate for very young children (or at least they should have parental supervision), this is a series where a wide range of people can learn something about the inhabitants of the Jurassic era. It is not only educational, it is entertaining, which is a great thing for the younger viewer and might get them interested in science -- if not paleontology, then something else. The experts use a lot of interesting tools in conducting their research and they might have some appeal to the youngster who only seemed to be excited by video games. So this series, especially being about dinosaurs will hopefully pull more people into the sciences by being something exciting.
From what I saw, the show was just very entertaining. The style was almost like CSI with a victim and possible culprit and the experts were doing their police work to find the clues to solve the mystery. The bit of suspense added to the entertainment value of an already well done and produced show. Thsi is a show that you should put into your Outlook each week so you do not miss an episode.

Press ReleaseFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Amazing CGI Animation Brings Prehistoric Natural History to Life Like Never Before in… JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB Premiering Tuesday, July 29 at 9pm ET/PT on History
Groundbreaking Forensic Evidence Leads to Breakthrough Discoveries in Understanding How Dinosaurs Battled for Supremacy
The latest tested evidence suggests that our planet’s first fighters were more than just brutes. CAT scans of fossils allow us to peer inside the bodies and minds of dinosaurs giving clues to their behavior, thought process, ability to strategize and work in groups, as well as their vision. It is even believed that Raptors possessed night vision.
How dinosaurs lived and how they fought has never been clearer. Leading scientists and experts, offer play-by-play commentary to battles that occurred 70 million years ago and CGI imagery depicts the ancient beasts sizing up their opponents and flexing their prehistoric muscles. Jurassic Fight Club illustrates in fantastic detail the crucial evidence found and the scientific research conducted, illuminating the possible motivations for engaging in combat.

List of Upcoming Episodes (with summaries)
JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB: CANNIBAL DINOSAUR (Tuesday, July 29 at 9pm ET/PT) –Majungatholus versus Majungatholus. Scientists uncover the first authentic case of dinosaur cannibalism. Paleontologists look deep into the brain cavity to give science new insight into their behavior, then by studying the behaviors of modern animals, experts recreate a scenario of what occurred when a male Majungatholus went in search of a mate, but found a non-receptive female who was more interested in protecting her young, than mating.
Tyrannosaurus Rex was the most feared predator on earth, but to one particular dinosaur, he was prey. A discovery in Montana reveals the broken and fractured bones of a juvenile T-Rex, and the teeth of its attacker. Experts measuring the size and shape of the teeth are able to identify the attacker as Nanotyrannus. As more bones emerged, paleontologists get an unprecedented look into 65 million year old battle and help answer questions about the origin of Nanotyrannus, the “Tiny Tyrant”.
JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB: GANG KILLERS (Wednesday, August 13 at 10pm ET/PT) – The bird-like predator Deinonychus takes on the large plant-eating dinosaur called Tenontosaurus. Scientists give a never before seen look into how these animals moved, fought and behaved and recreate what happened when a pack of deadly raptors took on an adversary more than twice their own size.
JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB: BLOODIEST BATTLE (Wednesday, August 20 at 10pm ET/PT) – Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus go at each other at a prehistoric watering hole that became the scene of one of the bloodiest battles in paleo- history. Scientists uncover more than 15,000 bones and discover where multiple dinosaur species fought to the death under the intense heat of a Jurassic drought.
JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB: ICE AGED MONSTERS (Wednesday, August 27 at 10pm ET/PT) - The Mega-Lion, a 750 pound giant cousin of modern lions goes head to head with the Short -Faced Bear, an 11 ½ foot tall terror equipped with huge claws and muscles. Using a detailed study of the skeletal design of each combatant, and applying modern bear and lion behaviors, for the first time ever experts recreate a blow by blow account of how these two ice aged monsters fought to the death.
JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB: HUNTER BECOMES HUNTED (Wednesday, September 3 at 10pm ET/PT) - Allosaurus and Ceratosaurus face off. Scientists reconstruct a battle that took place between the two predators, in a fight for dominance when the hunter becomes the hunted.
JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB: DEEP SEA KILLERS (Wednesday, September 10 at 10pm ET/PT) - Megalodon, a 50 foot long cousin of the modern Great White Shark battles Brygmophyseter, the “biting sperm whale”, an enormous creature equipped with 44 teeth that equaled those of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB: LARGEST KILLERS (Wednesday, September 17 at 10pm ET/PT) - Millions of years of evolution have created some of the most terrifying and monstrous dinosaurs ever imagined. Now, we get a firsthand look at some of the most deadly dinosaurs. From the man-sized Utahraptor, to the gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex; we’ll focus on their sizes, weaponry and behaviors, ultimately revealing the one killer who is responsible for more deaths than all other predators combined.
JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB: RIVER OF DEATH (Wednesday, October 8 at 10pm ET/PT) - A herd of plant-eating Pachyrhinosaurus are attacked by a pair of deadly Albertosaurus. With their backs against a flooding river, the herd must stand its ground, but when one of the members makes a break for freedom, it puts the entire herd at risk. It’s brains versus brawn on a prehistoric battleground in ancient Canada, where the power of nature is more than a match for all.
JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB: RAPTOR VS. T-REX (Wednesday, October 22 at 10pm ET/PT) - Duckbilled dinosaur Edmontosaurus battles a pack of Dromaeosaurus, deadly members of the raptor family. Using their large brains, the raptors drive the Edmontosaurus into the perfect death trap. Once he enters the valley, there will be no escape. But the raptors cannot lay claim to this death trap. It is patrolled by a predator that is unequalled in the dinosaur kingdom, the T-Rex.
JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB: ARMAGEDDON (Wednesday, October 29 at 10pm ET/PT) -65 million years ago, dinosaurs along with millions of other life forms are wiped from planet earth in a massive single event. Experts from a variety of scientific backgrounds are brought together to review the evidence and help explain the events that caused this mass extinction. What they would discover is that an asteroid the size of Mt. Everett (Everest?) slammed into the earth near South America. Reviewing worldwide evidence, and using the latest in modern scientific technology, experts reconstruct their last moments on earth and recreate the day that earth faced an unimaginable assault from space.

JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB premieres Tuesday, July 29th at
9pm/8c and will showcase dinosaurs in a completely new light.
They were the ultimate fighters—prehistoric monsters who reigned over
the earth millions of years ago, terrifying and dominating the globe
like no creatures before or since. In a world with only one rule—kill
or be killed—these ferocious beasts hunted their prey with cunning and
strategy, transforming their prehistoric habitat into an epic and bloody
battlefield, leaving behind massive graveyards of bones and other
remains. Today, archaeologists are uncovering these primeval combat
zones—and are gaining startling new insight into how quick-thinking,
maneuverability, brute force, and razor-sharp claws separated the weak
from the mighty and the dead from the living in an era when only the
strong survived.
Each
episode showcases thrilling dinosaur confrontations, all of which are based on
recent paleontological findings. There is a potential mating situation between
two Majungatholous that went awry; a gang of Raptors that stalked and killed a
large herbivore; a pair of Ceratosaurus who ambushed a Allosaurus but soon
discovered they were on the defense; a Nanotyrannus, a mini-version of the
Tyrannosaurus Rex, invaded a nesting area where two juveniles had been left on
their own while their parents were on the trail for fresh meat; and more.
