Barney & Friends is a children's television show produced in the United States, mainly aimed at preschoolers, starring a large purple dinosaur named Barney.

Barney, a large purple dinosaur with green spots, was created in 1987 by Sheryl Leach of Dallas, Texas. She came up with the idea for the show, while considering TV shows that she felt would be educational and appeal to her son. She then brought together a team which created a series of home videos, the first being (Barney and the Backyard Gang) which also starred actress Sandy Duncan. Barney has joined in with Baby Bop and B.J.
