barney be about imagination what you guy do not have if my preschooler never want to play pretend like they do in that show then i would be worry . what 2 or 3 year old actually get all that anyways it all about the color and the singing . for those of you say that all they do on barney be eat junk food and recommend sesame street well well what about cookie monster thats all he eat but i haven not see anyone comment that one . i do agree that sesame be a good educational show but barney be just like a show for fun do not be too serious if you do not like your child watch tv and worry about them understand thing you do not believe then you shouldn not be prop them down in front of the tv in the first place because all of that be fake everything be fake actor be fake so why do not you take your fake brain and put it to use and think if you have a problem with a fake television show for kid then turn it off and play with them yourselves and teach them what you want them to learn not big bird or bert and ernie or barney someone who use to watch all those show and turn out fine .
