In Nov 2021, it was announced that a three-part Barney documentary series will premiere in 2022 on Peacock.[12]

Origin and evolution

Barney was created by Sheryl Leach of Dallas, Texas.[13] She came up with the idea of a children'due south plan afterwards noticing that her son outgrew Wee Sing Together,[fourteen] [15] and then recognizing that there were no videos to appeal to her son. Leach then brought together a team who created a serial of home videos, Barney and the Backyard Gang, initially released in 1988. The first three videos starred actress Sandy Duncan.[16]

One solar day in 1991, the girl of Connecticut Public Television executive Larry Rifkin rented one of the videos and was "mesmerized" by it. Rifkin thought the concept could be developed for PBS. Rifkin thought Barney had appeal considering he was not equally neurotic every bit Big Bird. He pitched it to CPTV president Jerry Franklin, whose preschool son also savage in love with it. Franklin and Rifkin pitched the idea to all of their colleagues with preschoolers, and they all agreed that kids would love a Barney evidence. Franklin and Rifkin convinced Leach to let CPTV revamp the concept for television receiver.[17] The testify debuted as Barney & Friends in 1992.[18] The series was produced past CPTV and Lyrick Studios (later bought by Hitting Entertainment).[19]

Although the show was a runaway hit, PBS initially opted non to provide funding beyond the initial xxx-episode run. When Rifkin and other CPTV executives learned this, they wrote letters to their fellow PBS member stations urging them to become PBS to reconsider. The Lyons Grouping, meanwhile, sent out notices through the Barney Fan Society, telling parents to write letters and make phone calls to their local PBS stations to show their support for Barney & Friends. Past the time of the yearly member stations' meeting, station executives across the country were up in artillery over the prospect of one of their most popular shows being canceled. Faced with an temper that Rifkin after described as "like an insurrection", PBS ultimately relented.[17]

For several years, the show was taped at the Colour Dynamics Studios facility at Greenville Avenue & Bethany Bulldoze in Allen, Texas, later on which it moved to The Studios at Las Colinas in Irving, Texas, and then Carrollton, a suburb of Dallas. The Television receiver series and videos are currently distributed by 9 Story Media Group, HIT Entertainment and Universal Studios, while the TV serial was produced by WNET from 2006 to 2010.

Reception

Several people accept concluded that episodes contain a great deal of age-appropriate educational material, including Yale University researchers Dorothy and Jerome Vocalizer, who called the program a "model of what preschool telly should be".[26] Others have criticized the show for a lack of educational value, too as being repetitive.[27]

The bear witness is often cited as a contributing factor to the perceived sense of entitlement seen in millennials, who grew up watching the bear witness.[28] [29] Ane specific criticism is:

His shows do not assist children in learning to deal with negative feelings and emotions. As ane commentator puts it, the real danger from Barney is "denial: the refusal to recognize the existence of unpleasant realities. For along with his steady nutrition of giggles and unconditional beloved, Barney offers our children a one-dimensional world where anybody must exist happy and everything must exist resolved right abroad."[thirty] [31]

The creator and performer of the San Diego Chicken mascot, Ted Giannoulas, chosen Barney a "ubiquitous and insipid fauna" in a 1999 court instance.[ commendation needed ]

Barney & Friends ranked No. 50 on Telly Guide 's 2002 listing of the fifty worst Idiot box shows of all time.[32] The bear witness has also been parodied in many forms; come across Anti-Barney humor.

In a 1993 newspaper article, Jerry Franklin, the head of Connecticut Public Idiot box, which co-produced Barney at the time, was quoted thus:

When adults say they practise not like Barney, Franklin says, 'in a way, we take that as a compliment. Barney is not designed for parents, whereas Sesame Street is designed for parents and children. We made a witting decision to brand Barney simple. It is non a plan for parents. Barney relates to preschoolers. We think he speaks to them at their level, which is in simple terms and with music.[33]

Howard Blumenthal, producer of Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?, said "Even the most knowledgeable people … can't really empathize why that [Barney] phenomenon happened and some other didn't".[34]
