* TheDayTheDinosaursDied: The last episode, "Death of a Dynasty", is about the K-Pg extinction event. The episode begins a few months before the asteroid hits and ends with the extinction of the dinosaurs as the Earth is plunged into darkness by the rain of molten rock and burning ash. However, even before this, it's stated that increased global volcanism have decimated the forest habitats and greatly increased the incidences of stillbirths among dinosaurs, giving the impression the meteor was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

** New Blood contained the deaths of all the cynodont young (one by being eaten by the ''Coelophysis'', the rest eaten by their ''own parents'' in the uncut UK Broadcast/DVD). The Coelophysis themselves are also cannibals.
** "Time of the Titans", obviously, with all the ''Diplodocus'' youngsters (called "sauropodlets" in the show), very few of whom reach adulthood, the rest having either fallen victim to other dinosaurs (mostly predators, though one is killed when it gets in the way of a Stegosaurus's spiked tail) or died in a forest fire. Even more so in the book, where [[spoiler: only one survives.]]

For the series' initial U.S. run on the Creator/DiscoveryChannel, the program was abridged to play in a 3-hour timeslot as a continuous two-hour-long special (divided into three separate episodes in reruns), and was largely rewritten to be more educational, the new narration handled by Creator/AveryBrooks. This version has remained exclusive to television and has had very miniscule appearances on streaming services. In addition, a LighterAndSofter cut aimed at children was released in 2002, ironically named ''Prehistoric Planet'', not to be confused with the [[Series/PrehistoricPlanet dinosaur documentary series of the same name]] released 20 years later (although that series is widely considered an updated SpiritualSuccessor to WWD).
