I use to believe that Barney was actually a really mean person. After the camera went off he would scream at all the kids and hit them and would let them go home to their families. I would watch the show for secret crys of help from the kids so I could convince my parents to go help them. My parents were convinced that I actually liked it. They bought me sheet with Barney's face and I flipped. I don't think they ever understood me.
