i be a little to old for this show i be 6 when it first come out . first off when i be a young child there be a few child show that be on sesame street which i do watch and learn from and but other than that there wasn not much else . my cousin be all bear a few year after me 7 year be the first one more come latter . barney be a very big part of what they watch . when i first saw this show i tell my grandmother how it doesn not teach anything just use magic to fix everything . i be 9 at the time and how many 9 year old have any idea what be really go on with a tv show . more and more that i saw or hear what the teaching of barney be the more and more i tell people how bad the show be . the funny thing be my parent who have a young child in the mid to late 80 which be me by the way . they agree and say the same thing a i do . the sad thing about this be my cousin who be old now 13 and such still agree with what they saw . it not cheat it creative and it not right to think differently than what someone tell you to . it o. k to steal if the person wont find out or mind that it be go . let be honest with ourselves and barney be out to make money not teach child anything . the more flashy the program the more inclined child will be to watch it . child be stupid not because they be not educate they just do not know any good and second barney put on a show and parent buy it . i never believe that tv could affect people the way barney do . if you have a young child read to them watch a show that teach them number and do not let them get involve in this show . barney be like smoke once be to much and smoke a few and your hooked let your kid watch this show they be hooked and one day their kid will watch the same crap and buy the same crap you buy .
