Barney

1) Barney is a large purple anthropomorphic dinosaur (a Tyrannosaurus rex to be exact), who conveys learning through his songs and friendly, optimistic attitude ("I love you, you love me, we're a happy family..."). The show Barney & Friends is a popular children's television show produced in the United States, mainly aimed at preschoolers.

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. Leach then brought together a team who created a series of home videos, Barney and the Backyard Gang, which also starred actress Sandy Duncan in the first 3 videos. Later, Barney was joined by the characters Baby Bop and BJ. In the new season, due to debut on September 18, a cousin of Baby Bop and BJ will join the series. Named "Riff", he is a musical Hadrosaurid, who will teach kids about world music.

Although the videos were a modest regional success, Barney only became a mega hit when the character and format were revamped for series television and picked up by the Public Broadcasting System, debuting as "Barney & Friends" in 1992. The series was produced by Lyrick Studios. For several years, the show was taped at the ColorDynamics Studios facility at Greenville Avenue & Bethany Drive in Allen, after which it moved to The Studios at Las Colinas. Currently, the series is produced in a northern suburb of Dallas, Texas. The TV series and videos are distributed by HIT Entertainment.

Barney & Friends is now shown in other countries where it is translated if neccesary. One such example is the latin-american version produced in Mexico which is called Barney y Sus Amigos, (Spanish translation of "Barney and his Friends.")

This project started at the beginning of the year 2007 as a one-man-band and went through several formations, already participated in some compilations, have 3 releases and currently are without news, but that may at any time disclose a new sound extreme and brutal .
