Allosaurus wife. Their two adolescent children are Robbie (Jason Willinger), the 14-year-old with unconventional
beliefs, and Charlene (Sally Struthers), the 12-year old, two-ton epitome of a material girl who never finishes
talking or shopping. Completing the family are Baby (Kevin Clash), the attention-grabbing newborn, and Grandma
Ethyl (Florence Stanley), Fran’s mother who opposes Earl on everything. They’re joined by Roy Hess (Sam
McMurray), Earl’s best friend, co-worker and a confirmed bachelor Tyrannosaurus, and B.P. Richfield (Sherman
Hemsley), Earl’s ferocious Triceratops boss.
