The Gon series features the completely wordless adventures of the irascible title character, a tiny fictional dinosaur, as he interacts with the natural world. Gon somehow survived the extinction of his fellow dinosaurs and interacts with paleolithic animals.

Note: Episodes 16-22 aired as "GON Waku Waku Special," combining anime and live-action segments. Episodes 37-40 also aired special segments, including a mini-program with Sandwichman and viewer-selected episode digests.
