Barney was created in 1987 by Sheryl Leach of Dallas, Texas. She came up with the idea for the program while considering TV shows that she felt would be educational and appeal to her son.

Sid and Marty Krofft were a product of the 60s and 70s. Their shows HR Pufnstuf, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, the Bugaboos, and Land of the Lost did show the influences of the day.

I didn't know you had to be on acid in order to create a purple dinosaur to help kids learn.

I can't say conclusively, but it's a fact that the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous - Bill Wilson - tripped on acid when he was trying to find a cure for alcoholism. He also hung out with Timothy Leary.

So far, I haven't found anything wrong with Barney. It's just an innocent show for children, it's not intended to be adult entertainment. Let's let our children be children instead of us treating them like adults. There is enough entertainment for adults but not enough good, clean, political agenda-free entertainment for children.
