Kaylee, 22 month old, is addicted to Barney. It was cute at first but now it is just annoying. That girl could watch barney all day every day. She almost does. First thing she says when she gets up in the morning is "Barney again, Barney again, Barney again?" She will lead me to the tv for me to turn it on for her. In the mornings I usually give in because that is when I am eating breakfast and getting ready for the day. The second the show is over she is running around the house yelling, "Barney again, Barney again, Barney again,...?" When she finds me she leads me back to the tv to start it over.
All day long she is asking to watch Barney. That purple dinasour has brainwashed my little girl. I try hard not to give into her request so much but whenever she asks to watch "barney, again?' and I say "no." She immediately starts to cry and throws herself on the floor like she always does when she is upset.
The fun part is that Kaylee loves the songs and loves to dance to the songs. I need to stop enabling my daughter and get her out of the Barney phase because those songs are so catchy that I find them stuck in my head all day.
Aaron is addicted to Christmas. He loved Christmas this year and doesn't want to let it go. He has to watch Polar Express everyday. He is constantly asking me to draw a Christmas tree with presents for him. He is always talking about how Santa brought him train tracks and trains for Christmas and how Santa needs to bring him some more. Right now we are watching a Christmas Thomas the Train show. :) Wow, it is February and this kid is still stuck on Christmas.

We don't have tv except for netflix, which doesn't have Barney. But it does have Scooby Doo and I feel the same way about Scooby Doo as you do about Barney. At least Barney is somewhat educational. Scooby Doo just teaches about monsters and ghosts and being scared.
This is why we don't let our kids watch or listen to anything that we don't want to watch or listen to! No barney, wiggles, etc. Good luck!
I need to comment about Aaron's addiction to Christmas. My 3 year old is also addicted to Christmas. Alyssa sings "Here Comes Santa Claus", "O, Tannanbaum", or "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" very loudly when we go out. The "oh how cute" looks that she got in December have been replaced with "dirty" looks lately when we are out in public.
Barney really is magical! :)
Try getting your kids to watch "Beauty and The Beast." Rebecca was stuck on that for at least two years and would watch that 3 times a day before she fell in love with Barney. Good luck. Rebecca was about 5 before something else took Barney's place.
