    Why would people want to hate so much on Barney. Ive got a 27 year old daughter that grew up watching him, and now my 19 month old likes him. He's just been positive, educational, and loving. Shows just what an evil world we live in.

      I have to agree with you. I mean I’m 30 years old and I still love the purple guy and I grew up with him and as far as the voice actor goes I’ve never met the guy but from what I’ve heard in interviews he’s a nice genuine warm person I mean, I don’t get it anymore than you do. It’s crazy.

      @@dad7275 OK now that is adorable that is definitely adorable but no, you’re right. I mean I think it’s died down now but when you look back then and you see how they just hated on a lovable huggable purple guy it’s insane and then to threaten voice actors who were just doing their job and to my knowledge have never said a bad word about anybody fans or otherwise I mean wow.

      @@catvoncrimson666 oh yeah…he occupied each of my children during their toddler years as cooking was my preference so we could sit and interact over our meals versus running through Mc Donald’s, a maid or nanny wasn’t an option so someone had to clean and wash my darlings clothes. Barney’s videos ran about an hour…just enough time to throw food on the table. Yup…he was doofy and cheesy but spoke of kindness, love and sang songs.
      What’s your “super powers”? I’d prefer my kids watching him for a short span rather than placing an iPad in front of children to keep them out of my hair and never converse with their family. I literally observed parents sit in restaurants while each can’t get their phones out of their faces while the children are doing the same the entire meal! Parenting changes with each generation and it looks far worse today than it did 30 years ago. When I was a kid, we looked forward to Saturday morning cartoons so our parents could sleep in, other than that we were forced to play outside all day. 😂

    Like, these threats came from actually kids. Which made this more dumb. This guy was my childhood and the death threats he received didn't just affect him, it affected all those whom wree bog fans. Junior high kids told kids way younger horrible things just to crush their spirits and torture them and a popular child entertainer. And it's really sad, mostly because there was never any true reason why they'd want to resort to that. My older cousin actef like this back then when I worshipped Barney or Teletubbies or Clifford the Big Red Dog. It's so sad innocent people have to endure this behavior for no reason
