You know what is suspicious?  Police search an apartment at 2AM in the morning because a car door is ajar. I wonder what was going to happen in that apartment?  Assault with a friendly weapon?

I'd be happier if "barney" was arrested~ sorry kiddies but that show sets my teeth on edge.

Let's see, the name of the band is "Bare Naked Ladies." Who in their right mind thinks these guys are kid-friendly? There name is not kid-friendly, for pete's sake.

And as I understand it, at least one Barney costume wear-er was arrested as well.

LOL~ fry barney! That's one case where I am for the death penalty!

The first link goes to Jason's blog where he explains how there is a crossover going on with "adult" groups or singers doing "kid" CD's.

I know what you mean about Barney, Sage.  I like the underlying message but the delivery is way too syrupy.

As someone who remembers all but my first ten months of childhood, I would not have liked Barney.  He lays it on much too thick.

MisterRogers was children's programming done right.

ApolloDawn~ the message is great... I have long maintained that if we all watched Mr.Rogers the world would be a better place.

That's funny~ I remember my crib,a few snippets here and there,around 3 years old the memories are very clear.When I can recall where I put them! lol

honestly, because i work with kids, i often bring up "purple like barney" or "yellow like big bird." the kids look at me like, "what are you talking about lady..." kids today don't even know what Barney and/or Sesame Street is these days, nor do that have the slightest clue as to the characters.

 

then again, if i made my living by wearing a big purple dinosaur costume, i'd probably turn to drugs, alcohol, or Mickey D's...
