Barney is a big purple dinosaur, he often where's revealing or more often than not no clothes at all. He can also be very frightening with his happy yet unrealistic songs. He also kisses kids who are like 5. Since he is a dinosaur he is also like a 20 million years old. He also got fired once for swearing at a kid. He also probably takes little sips from a flask in between takes, how could anyone be that happy if he didn't.? He also gives unrealistic outlooks on life and I think kids should know early on that life isn't all hugs and puppies and friendship. You can have enimies and there is war and famine. It disgusts me. Plus there is no real plot.

I hate this show. Me and my friend made up a song, "Barney is a dinosaur with no imagination, stepped into a doctors office and had a vaccination"

Funny show adults, but too mature and violent for my children.

Kid's are smart. So, why do we allow them to watch dumb shows like Barney? They love it, but they also love cookies and ice cream - doesn't mean it's good for them! This is the "junk food" of educational kid's shows. Sesame Sreet showed that you can teach kids without talking down to them - which is all that Barney does. Should you keep your kid's away from it - no! But, at least let them see other quality shows, like Sesame Street for education and The Upside Down Show for REAL imagination.

I have a 3 year old - she loves the show - but I have to point out (since I am 30 - not like the tennage reviewers and notice more things) Barney sends conflicting messages(why I said not good role model- only somtimes though). We have a DVD and Barney sings about important of indoor voices(which is awesome) but then the next song he talks about getting excited and using it indoors for a party - which is it Barney -are you going to teach them to use indoor voie or scream - it doesn't go both ways. Little things like that in a lot of the episodes - they contradict each other. I would recommend avoiding Barney and watching other shows on PBS that are both more educational, fun for adults to watch, and your toddler will love even more than Barney. Highly recommnd Dinosaur Train, Sid the Science Kid and Super Why - all are great, extremely educational and will hold the attention of even most 2 year old - I love all of those myself because they are fun and easy on the nerves.

Don't bother. Barney swears a lot and does drugs. You don't want your kid watching this garbage

i dont like barney but little kids definetly will. It is a great show for little kids to watch.
