Travis Fox, who staged a Barney bash event at the University of Nebraska in 1993, suggests it was jealousy that drove “Barney” haters. “Barney is so impossibly wholesome, people like to pop the balloon.”īob Singleton, music director for “Barney,” said he was threatened with the death and dismemberment of his family over his involvement in the annoying-to-some-but-ultimately-benign children’s television series. “When someone is so implausibly happy all the time, unfortunately, in the darker corners of all our spirits, there is a desire to find joy in tearing that down,” Burns says. Some of the most interesting observations expressed in “I Love You, You Hate Me” come from Steve Burns, the original host of “Blue’s Clues.” (“I Love You” does not get into another reason to hold a grudge against “Barney:” Its role in the cancellation of PBS critical hit “Wishbone,” made by the same production company.) Hatred of Barney flowed freely in AOL forums in the show’s heyday. “It hit a nerve at the dawn of the social media era when the world learned to love to hate,” says Bob Curran, founder of the I Hate Barney Secret Society. The San Diego Chicken beat up a faux Barney on the baseball diamond.
BARNEY ERROR SERIES
Most of the series is about the creation of “Barney” – Sheryl Leach was inspired to create “Barney” by her then-preschooler son Patrick’s interest in “Wee Sing Together” VHS tapes - and reactions to ”Barney,” particularly “Barney” bashing, which was both rhetorical and literal: College kids disemboweled stuffed Barneys.
But why even make it two one-hour episodes? Why not just a two-hour documentary? Or better yet a 90-minute documentary?)
(And let’s take a minute to acknowledge Peacock could have stretched the “Barney” story to the breaking point, as streaming services are sometimes wont to do, but two hours, while still probably 30 minutes more than necessary, is not atrocious. There is an invasive ick factor in the show’s second hour when it reaches for that true crime element – “Barney” creator Sheryl Leach’s son, Patrick is involved in a shooting crime almost two decades after she ceased working on “Barney” – that left me uncomfortable even as I leaned in during the more salacious parts of the story. Is the cautionary tale of fame and its side effects a part of the “Barney” story worth exploring? Or is it included because true crime is a popular genre and adding an arguably gratuitous element was the only way to get this program sold? With Phase 1’s Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk, and Thor taking place in the same week – called “Fury’s Big Week” – multiple MCU projects taking place in the same brief period would not be novel to the brand.ĭisney+ now has She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Thor: Love and Thunder available for streaming.There are some interesting ideas explored in Peacock’s “I Love You, You Hate Me,” a two-part docu-series about 1990s PBS phenomenon “Barney & Friends,” the kids’ show starring a loved and loathed purple dinosaur.īut the series, now streaming, veers from its nostalgia lane into true crime territory. In light of this, it is unlikely that this resulted from an accident and more plausible that She-Hulk, Ms Marvel, and Love and Thunder occur within weeks. Recently, The Direct discovered that Marvel Studios had employed its official timekeeper to maintain the MCU consistency. The group may use that moniker simply because both are Asgardian warriors rather than calling her by her real name. Or, on the other hand, maybe the so-called “Lady Thor” Intelligencia is alluding to is Valkyrie and not Jane Foster’s Mighty Thor. The Asgardian sequel’s action takes place throughout a season, probably several weeks or months. Perhaps She-Hulk, Ms Marvel, and Thor: Love and Thunder all take place around the same period for a more plausible explanation. The first, possibly most likely, explanation is that the chronology sequence on Disney+ is just erroneous after all, mistakes have been discovered in the past.
