"Smallville" does it pretty well. That's the only one that comes to mind.
LBT is definitely not the worst offender of this, though. I agree the average background dinosaur is usually little more than an uneducated armchair-complainer who seems prone to side with Cera's dad on everything from water rations to the luckiness of guest stars, but some of the closer relatives serve multiple purposes. Littlefoot's grandparents are definitely voices of reason, Cera's dad never fails to cause internal strife and heighten the conflict, and Ducky's mom, whenever she has a large part, usually provides cousel for Ducky in times of need.
