I don't find it bad as some people make it to be. Any ways, I love this show. Sorry, but you have to respect my opinion if you dislike it. I watched this show since I was small, and still like it. I find the I Love You song great. To people who diagree on this, I respect their opinion. By the way, everyone has their own opinion. We Barney fans respect opinions and know them. I love the BYG/Seasons 1-3, I thought Season 4 is OK. Stranger is not a cuss word you know. It's not Barney's fault that he sings his I love you song. I thought it's a good show to me and my favorite little kid show ever, the seconds Blues Clues, and the third is Sesame Street, and the fourth is Wonder Pets. Peoples opinions are different, and we have our own tastes of our own. It is one million times better than Dora the Explorer to me. If you like Dora, I will respect your opinion. That is all.

Barney has gained reception as being one of the worst TV shows ever. The main reason being that everybody is too "cool" or too "mature." "I can't watch Barney because I'm too cool!" You don't understand that it is a kid's show only. You don't remember what it is like being a kid that young. You don't even know what Barney contains!!!Something I will say is that Barney overstayed his welcome. It was on the air for almost 20 years and got very repetitive and stale the last half of his run. But the older episodes are the good ones. Unlike, say, Sesame Street, Barney's age range is smaller like under the age of 7. Everybody talks in cheesy and juvenile voices. That is because it is a juvenile show! Many kid shows are like that! Barney is no different. "Why doesn't Barney teach things like counting and not dangers of drugs and everything?" Tell me, what kind of 3-year-old is hooked on drugs? Give an example of a toddler that does not need to be taught how to count. because I watched Barney and listened to his lessons, I was way ahead of most students by the time I got into school. What I really hate is when people say Barney is one dimensional because everybody is too happy all the time and there's no seriousness involved. A: that is 100% false. B: why not have a happy show? Every show for kids tries to be as happy as can be!!!! There's lots of bad things in the world today, so good thing Barney can provide the happy escape that is much needed. I wish I was that innocent and happy all the time! And saying Barney is one dimensional because it is just happiness is plain false. I remember there was almost an entire episode dedicated to Steven losing his favourite stuffed animal. That was depressing! I'll never forget when Chip got all angry when Baby Bop accidentally busted his tower. Here's some proof that you're all wrong. I remember seeing a couple of reviews about the dangers of"A Stranger is A Friend You Haven't Met" episode. THERE IS NO SUCH EPISODE!!!!! He has a song about the dangers of talking to strangers. It's not just that, people say Barney sends the wrong message to kids because they only teach that everything can be solved with magic and imagination and that's not how the real world it. *facepalm* Sure everything is imaginary, but is an allegorical message about what can happen when you put your mind to things. Let your mind and imagination soar and you will be surprised with what can accomplish. Since this is a show for kids, the magic is imaginary friends that help kids. All you Barney haters are probably struggling to find your next batch of weed.

I can't believe that we live in a world where movies and TV Shows that are considered the worst by critics are being praised by people who don't even have brains. No TV show can define the true meaning of the words "brain-dead", "mentally challenged", "annoying", and "tedious" than Barney and Friends. Why should you avoid watching this sad excuse of a TV show? Get ready, readers, it's gonna get ugly...Like I said for Barney's Great Adventure, the main character, Barney, is an utter p---- who has the IQ of Homer Simpson from the Simpsons and is as selfish as Mr. Krabs from Spongebob Squarepants. I feel sorry for all the adults who were held hostage in this show. I know what they're thinking: "Stop this piece of s---, I wanna get off!!!" The rest of the characters are either stupid, selfish, vain, greedy, lifeless or have no regard for how much damage they're causing to the viewers. The song at the end is like gay bashing for kids. I mean, if I have to hear one more of that stupid and annoying song, I'd just wanna climb into my TV and say "For the love of Nayru, SHUT THE HELL UP!!!"I'm ashamed to admit it, but I used to watched Barney when I was a kid. Now that I'm 21 years old, I hated this TV Show with a passion. Now I know how Yakko, Wakko, and Dot feel. Bottom Line: Unlikeable characters, annoying musical numbers, and lack of educational values are the reasons why you should avoid Barney and Friends like the Flu.Update: Don't let dancermcm's review fool you because apparently, she's butt-hurt by criticism and TOO OLD for the show.

I really don't see the problem with Barney. I don't see too much underlying political correctness as in other shows for kids. The show doesn't brainwash children with some sort of social agenda and I really think that is why some people hate and go after the show. I don't understand why a dinosaur that sings songs with children about farm animals and candy can initiate so much hate.As far as the content, it is the only show my 1 year old loves to watch. I tried many and they most of them are geared for a three year old audience. This show is excellent for a one year old. I let her watch one a day and when I put it on, she jumps up and down and says, "yea, yea, yea." I really don't like how the songs stick in my head but you know, it is for the kids. The best one by far is the "Sing and Dance with Barney."
