Or is my memory failing me? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-40763 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 15:18:11 +0000 Mrs.KMM 40763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched Barney all the time as a kid. I know I told my mom for a while that I really wanted to be one of the kids on the show.</p> <p>I could have been Selena Gomez!! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-40756 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 15:11:41 +0000 Mrs. Marbles 40756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: Haha. You're right. The dinos were kind of odd looking. I liked the baby dino! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-40746 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 15:02:09 +0000 HabesBabe 40746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Marbles: OMG that show was horrrrrrible. And those dinos were definitely not cute. That little baby dino drove me crazy. CRAZY. I think it was on TGIF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-40742 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 14:57:35 +0000 mrbee 40742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hola abejita: Haha, no I only know because I've seen some of the videos sooo many times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-40737 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 14:47:50 +0000 hola abejita 40737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stand corrected. I've only seen parts here and there and it seemed like no kids ever appeared multiple times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-40736 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 14:45:29 +0000 polkadots 40736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always loved barney when I was little, until I met some guy dressed up like him, scarred me for life. We just started to sing the song to LO who is 3 months and everytime we sing, "I love you, you love me. Were a happy family." she gets tears in her eyes and has a pouty lip. If we stop singing she will be fine. So we do this over and over.. Its funny because when she does this it seems like the song means so much to her that she tears up. (its not a sad cry. more of an emotional cry) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-40735 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 14:41:33 +0000 mrbee 40735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hola abejita: you do see the same kids a lot! Selena Gomez was in a bunch of eppies... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-40671 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 13:33:09 +0000 Rosie Girl 40671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hola abejita: hahaha! That is funny :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-40670 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 13:32:51 +0000 Rosie Girl 40670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry, but I can't handle him! I think the reason why though is because I used to babysit my neighbor during the summer when I was in like the 8th grade, and she watched Barney NON. STOP. Barney overdose for sure. Now I cringe when I hear him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-40641 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 13:11:00 +0000 hola abejita 40641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think about what happens off camera when Barney gets hungry. Isn't that why you never see the same kids twice? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-40106 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 15:52:38 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 40106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watched Barney all the time when I was a kid. My parents hated it! I loved it when he pulled out the Barney Bag! This is a little embarrassing to type out... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-40024 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:54:46 +0000 Mrs. Marbles 40024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. I love this list @mrbee! I don't like Barney because his voice irks me. And he's just not an attractive looking dinosaur. There used to be another dinosaur show (though not educational) that had cute dinosaurs... I think it was called "Dinosaurs" and they had a cute baby dinosaur who would say "Not the mommy!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39989 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:34:20 +0000 mrs. wagon 39989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: the bow tie did it! ;)</p> <p>Barney. Good for kids. Bad for Tina. Haha. and Wondermommy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39983 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:28:56 +0000 mrbee 39983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Wondermommy: I think I lost my street cred when I started posting to a parenting site. :-)</p> <p>I think Barney is good for kids (in limited quantities). That's my primary criteria for whether or not I let Charlie watch a video or two here or there... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39982 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:28:21 +0000 Mrsbells 39982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: He's scary because he's so big and has really weird white teeth lol and just seems odd to me lol hard to explain </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39977 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:22:19 +0000 mrs. wagon 39977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Wondermommy: YES. You are awesome. Virtual high five. My eye twitches too! And my gag reflex starts up. Seriously. Physical reaction. And I love the "No Barney." brainwashing. Seriously love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39969 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:10:50 +0000 Wondermommy 39969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Your street cred is officially, undeniably, gone. I'm with Tina on this one. I heard too much of it growing up with my younger cousins watching it ALL.THE.TIME. My eye twitches when I start to hear the song. Our LO even knows we don't watch it in our house-when the intro starts (it comes on right after one of his fave cartoons), he immediately says, "No Barney." We have taught him well, our young grasshopper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39955 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:43:55 +0000 BSB 39955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I admit that I don't hate Barney when I was a kid. I didn't think he was that bad. If I had to watch it with my nephew, I wouldn't mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39952 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:41:54 +0000 mrs. wagon 39952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I definitely am. Are dinosaurs a race? it's not species-specific... I hate Baby Bop as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39951 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:36:39 +0000 mrbee 39951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: You are kind of racist towards Barney. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39950 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:35:54 +0000 mrs. wagon 39950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I can't do it!! I almost have a physical reaction when I hear his voice and see the previews for his show on Sprout. </p> <p>RJ's shows of choice now are The Wiggles and Blue's Clues. I also let him watch Dora, Wonder Pets and Sesame Street but he asks for Wiggles and Blue's Clues the most. I know some people find The Wiggles totally creepy, but I love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39947 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:23:41 +0000 mrbee 39947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tina: Give him a try, seriously. Charlie loves to sing and dance along to Barney. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39940 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:11:44 +0000 Rock n Roll 39940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Barney ok, but I HATE Baby Bop. (I haven't watched the show since she was still the same size as Barney. I'm pretty sure they made her smaller later.) But her voice was so grating and she was always going on and on about her blanky.</p> <p>My little sister was a big Barney fan, so I used to watch it quite a bit. My LO has never watched it though. She's really into Blue's Clues now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39938 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:10:40 +0000 HabesBabe 39938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3. He is a really good dancer, considering he's wearing a fricking dinosaur costume.<br /> 6. That costume must be hot, but Barney never complains.</p> <p>Don't ruin the magic!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39937 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:10:30 +0000 mrs. wagon 39937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate Barney and it's not allowed in my house because my little cousin was addicted to him so I had to watch hours and hours when I was in middle school and high school. Not cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39907 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 12:36:30 +0000 mrbee 39907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I don't like the other dinosaurs either.</p> <p>But Barney is awesome, why does he scare you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39903 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 12:34:50 +0000 Mrsbells 39903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol Barney scares me, the other two little dinosaurs that run around with him are scary too lol.. and I cant stand that song, I dont know why but I'm just not a fan of the show at all. sorry </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39900 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 12:33:16 +0000 Adira 39900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not going to lie... I thought this post was going to be about Barney from How I Met Your Mother.</p> <p>I've never been pro- or anti-Barney the Dinosaur as I don't much about him. He can't be that bad, in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/confession-i-really-like-barney-the-top-ten-reasons-i-like-barney#post-39896 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 12:30:27 +0000 mrbee 39896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Top ten reasons I like Barney:</p> <p>1. He's a dinosaur. Who doesn't love dinosaurs?<br /> 2. He only shows up when you use your imagination. Using your imagination = good.<br /> 3. He is a really good dancer, considering he's wearing a fricking dinosaur costume.<br /> 4. His voice sounds like an adult mostly, not like a really really young kid (I'm looking at you, Elmo).<br /> 5. There was a cute kid on the show and it turned out to be Selena Gomez (hat tip to YouTube Top Comments). Barney is changing lives!<br /> 6. That costume must be hot, but Barney never complains.<br /> 7. Kids are always getting sad on the show, and Barney makes sure to cheer them up. He actually gives really good advice.<br /> 8. In one episode, he traveled to outer space using his imagination. I used to do that too, and then I forgot how.<br /> 9. Charlie loves Barney and I love Charlie. Transitive property?<br /> 10. At least he says words, unlike Teletubbies.</p> <p>Seriously, I have been into Barney lately and I feel like he gets unfairly slammed. So I am officially declaring myself on Team Barney.</p> <p>I think he is super-dee-duper and stuuuu-uu-pendous! </p>
