The show premiered on December 6, 2009 with the first two episodes scheduled back-to-back. Clash of the Dinosaurs was poorly received, with critics citing leaps of logic and repetitive reenactments. The series also became the target of controversy when it emerged that a paleontologist interviewed onscreen had been quote-mined; the dispute was resolved by reediting the offending scene.

The primary distinction drawn is the difference between Sauroposeidon's speculated r selector method of reproduction (i.e. many offspring with no parental care) versus T. rex's proposed K selector method (i.e. few offspring with very invested parental supervision and care). This conception of T. rex as a nurturing parent borrows from popular depictions of the animal from the past decade, including Universal's Jurassic Park and the BBC's Walking with Dinosaurs series. The program also highlights the differences between the brains and senses of T. rex and Sauroposeidon, contrasting T. rex's large brain size and well-developed senses of sight and smell with Sauroposeidon's supposedly rudimentary brain and sensorium. This comparison is mostly supposition, as no Sauroposeidon skulls have ever been unearthed. Indeed, the specimen is known entirely from a set of four neck vertebrae, which have identified the species as a sauropod of the family Brachiosauridae, from whose more completely described members Sauroposeidons anatomy is conjectured. }}{{Episode list | EpisodeNumber = 2 | Title = Perfect Predators | OriginalAirDate = {{start date|2009|12|6}} | ShortSummary = This episode tells how predators such as Tyrannosaurus, Deinonychus and Quetzalcoatlus caught their prey. }}{{Episode list | EpisodeNumber = 3 | Title = The Defenders | OriginalAirDate = {{start date|2009|12|13}} | ShortSummary = The defenses used by Sauroposeidon, Parasaurolophus, Ankylosaurus and Triceratops against predators are featured here. }}{{Episode list | EpisodeNumber = 4 | Title = Generations | OriginalAirDate = {{start date|2009|12|13}} | ShortSummary = In this final episode, the dinosaurs' reproduction habits and evolution into birds is discussed. }} }} ReleaseThe show premiered on December 6, 2009, with "Extreme Survivors" and "Perfect Predators" airing back-to-back.[1] "The Defenders" and "Generations" followed on December 13.[2][3] ReceptionSmithsonian was disappointed with the program, citing reckless conjecture and repetitive CGI segments.[4][5]Quote-mining controversyAfter the series aired, paleontologist Mathew Wedel (who was interviewed for the series) strongly criticized the program, as he had been quote-mined. He was talking about the glycogen body of sauropods, mentioning the invalid theory that it served as a second brain and that its purpose is still uncertain. However, in the actual program, most of what he said had been removed, making it look like he supported the theory that it served as a second brain.[6] When Wedel contacted the show's creators, Dangerous Ltd., his dissatisfaction with their "non-apology" response led him to contact Discovery directly, who responded by mandating that the scene be removed from future broadcasts as well as DVD and Blu-ray releases.[7] Smithsonian called Dangerous Ltd.'s behavior shameful.[8] Wedel was also critical of the program's wild conjecture: there was no evidence to support that Quetzalcoatlus could see in ultraviolet (as some birds are known to do) nor that Parasaurolophus could use ultrasound defensively.[6] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Witmer to appear on Discovery Channel series|url=https://www.ohio.edu/outlook/Witmer-199.cfm|date=2009-12-03|publisher=Ohio University|accessdate=2016-09-01}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ign.com/tv/clash-of-the-dinosaurs|title=Clash of the Dinosaurs: Season 1|accessdate=2016-09-01|publisher=IGN}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://articles.latimes.com/2009/dec/06/entertainment/la-ca-tvdino6-2009dec06|title='Clash of the Dinosaurs' on Discovery|date=2009-12-06|publisher=L.A.
