Barney & Friends

Season 7

PBS #701: All Aboard!
Barney's friends are racing to clean up the park, but Kami has trouble keeping up with the other kids - even when they pretend to be ants marching in a parade! Barney and Scott visit the Idea Bench where Scott comes up with a great idea - to show Kami that even though the caboose is the last car in the train, it's the most important because that's where the conductor rides. With Kami playing "Conductor for the Day," they learn all about trains and have fun checking out a model train. Then, they work together to clean up the old caboose in the park as they sing "I've Been Working On the Railroad." When Barney tells them how railroad signal flags are used, the children make their own flags and wave them around the park. Barney's friends learn that from the first to the last in line, everyone is special.

PBS #702: Up, Down and Around!
Tony wants to show off his handmade kite - but it doesn't have a string, so the kite isn't ready to fly. When an unexpected breeze blows it high in the treetops, Barney and the kids discuss the ups and downs of getting the kite out of the tree. The kids discover more about what's up and what's down in the world all around them as they sing "Up Is Up and Down Is Down." Playing fun games like London Bridge and I Spy also helps the kids discover more about up, down and all around. Finally, with a great idea from Tony and a little inspiration from Baby Bop, the "The Baby Bop Hop" brings the kite tumbling down from the treetop. Every day can have its ups and downs, but thanks to Barney and his friends, every day can be all around fun for everyone!

PBS #703 Tea-riffic Manners
Tea time is the perfect time to practice good manners. Gianna invites two special guests - Baby Bop and BJ! When they find the decorations they need in the caboose, the flowers make Baby Bop sneeze, and they all sing "Keep Your Sneeze To Yourself" so Baby Bop can learn the right way to sneeze. After the friends dress up like high society, it's time for tea. Baby Bop learns that the magic words "Please" and "Thank You" are the correct words to use when asking for more cookies. And singing "Clean Up! Do Our Share" makes cleaning up good manners and good, clean fun. Barney puts on a humorous presentation about bad manners with a story about some messy kids named "The Floodledoops." The silliness continues as they sing "Silly Sounds." Reminding his friends about good manners while having fun is definitely proper etiquette for their purple pal.

When BJ hears Bingo is going to the vet, he and the kids pretend they're going to the doctor too. Then BJ is back to his search for buried treasure - his missing baseball, which he suspects was buried by Bingo. Ms. Duffy introduces the kids to her guide dog, Kellie, and teaches them more about guide dogs. While getting ready for his baseball game, BJ has an unusual audience - Mr. Steele and his four Chihuahuas.

While Angela enjoys playing traffic cop in the park with her STOP and GO signs, Baby Bop gets a quick lesson in opposites - up/down, stop/go, in/out, and high/low. When Officer Phillips visits the park, Baby Bop signals her when to stop and go. Next, Bingo is the perfect playmate for Baby Bop's Stop & Go game. Barney and the kids enjoy a day of non-stop fun with a costume parade, a game of musical Stop & Go, and a display of some very vigorous body movements as they sing "Move Your Body." The fun doesn't stop when they slow their bodies down. Barney reads a playful version of "The Three Billy Goats" as the kids act out a fantasy version on the bridge.

Sarah leaves a colorful trail of footprints to guide Mario to their Caboose Color Collection. Strangely enough, Mario's flying pig fits into the red collection perfectly as the kids sing the fun song, "The Flying Pig." But how does a haystack fit into the blue collection? And where will they find more yellow objects for the yellow collection? Miss Jo paints a yellow flower, and Sarah makes yellow flowers out of crepe paper. Baby Bop contributes her yellow blankey, which leads to a search for a substitute blankey - but red and blue blankeys are just not the same as her
favorite yellow one. When Barney makes the yellow flowers magically grow, Baby Bop is delighted to get her yellow blankey back. The day is a celebration of primary colors but, like all days with Barney, it's primarily fun!

Whitney, Beth and Scott enjoy playing catch with the ball, as well as leapfrog, but they're surprised to learn from Barney that they are exercising while they play. Soon more children join them for a game of jump rope. Baby Bop loves dancing and skipping - and thinks she will like hang gliding when she grows up, and BJ loves basketball. But everyone loves giggling and wiggling as they sing "The Giggle, Gaggle, Wiggle Dance." A rain shower moves the fun and games indoors, and the kids learn that you can have fun while you exercise indoors as well. Barney invites the TV viewers to run in place with him and reminds everyone of the importance of stretching.

Everyone is excited about the evening concert with Mr. Boyd's brass band. Angela is learning to play the trumpet but needs a lot of practice before she can join the band, and BJ hopes to drum up a gig with the band. In the meantime, the kids view Mr. Boyd's collection of horns on display in the caboose. As they learn about French horns, trumpets, trombones and tubas, Barney admits that he has tooted a tuba tune a time or two in his time and breaks into a fun tuba instrumental. When the kids offer to help Mr. Boyd decorate, they find themselves searching for missing band posters - which leads to nursery rhyme fun with "Little Boy Blue" and "Old King Cole." As the band practices, Barney - the Grand Poobah of the tuba - and drummer BJ get to play along. Making music with friends is always fun with a musical purple dinosaur!

It's always fun to make new friends, but it's not always easy to be the "new kid." When Mr. Boyd's niece, Colleen, visits the park, Barney guides the kids through a series of fun activities to help Colleen go from being a "new kid" to a "new friend." As Barney sings "I Put A Smile On" and "Misty Moisty Morning Manners," the kids learn how to smile and say hello to new friends. As the kids share their favorite things to do, they find that like "The Lion and the Mouse," friends don't always have everything in common. Scott, Kami and Mario take turns showing their new friend their favorite places in the park. Even though Colleen must leave with her parents, everyone is excited to have her as a new pen pal. Barney reminds them that whether friends are near or far, friendships can reach around the world.  (Guest Star: Claire Burdette as Colleen)

Looking inside the caboose, they discover that numbers are everywhere they look. Adding a little fun to the number hunt, they play Number Limbo and Six Shake Pudding. Barney leads the group in several musical numbers as they sing "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe," "There Are Seven Days In A Week," and Baby Bop's favorite, "Look At Me, I'm Three."

She searches the caboose for things to put in the box to make the caterpillar more comfy but can't find anything until Barney suggests her yellow blankey to keep the caterpillar nice and warm.

Spring showers bring more than flowers; they bring out the creativity in Barney's friends. While it's raining outdoors, the kids paint birds, butterflies and caterpillars indoors. Then Barney displays the changing seasons on his computer. Grabbing their umbrellas and singing, "Rain, Rain, Go Away," puts an end to the spring rain and a beginning to the sunshine and a rainbow. The kids are ready for a spring fling and have fun blowing bubbles and enjoying nature. Beth can't decide what she likes best about spring, but she definitely doesn't like the sneezing it brings. The kids join Barney for a picnic, including some unexpected ant helpers who clean up as the group sings "The Ants Go Marching." Beth decides her favorite part of spring is the birth of baby birds and animals in the spring season. It's always the right season to learn and grow with Barney.

PBS #714: Play It Safe!
Baby Bop wants to play nurse to BJ and put bandages all over him, but BJ is not injured. It does, however, provide the perfect opportunity for Barney to remind the group that bandages are for real boo-boos and to review safety rules for playgrounds and parks. As the song says, "Saying Be Careful Means I Love You." There are rules to remember when playing ball, swinging, sliding and climbing. While putting on a puppet show, the kids find that Mother Goose rhyme characters, such as Humpty Dumpty and Jack & Jill, weren't always careful enough. Baby Bop continues to eagerly await a real boo-boo so she can play nurse, and a rambunctious BJ isn't very careful about being careful. When BJ trips over a toy, Baby Bop finally gets to bandage a real boo-boo. Accidents may happen, but when they do, a little love from Barney is just what the doctor ordered.

Barney's friends are playing hopscotch - but with a twist! It's Triangle Hopscotch because Whitney is learning about triangles in school. When Mario arrives in his new hiking boots, he explains that he's going on a camping trip. While talking about the adventures they can have outdoors, Barney encourages them to look around for triangles - on the playset roof, the caboose door, and the toy sailboat. The Tee-rrific Triangle Detective Team sings "The Wonderful World of Shapes" as they search for triangles and make fun crafts from triangular shapes - from butterflies to fish to jack-o-lanterns. When Mario makes a triangular adventure hat, Barney takes them on an imaginary camping trip. And there's nothing like triangular S'mores to start the trip off right, as they continue to discover triangles in the world around them. With Barney, it's always fun to learn new things!

Baby Bop rides up on her tricycle and proudly shows off her riding skills as she sings, "By Myself." Barney reminds them that whether you have one, two, three, or four wheels, riding bicycles and tricycles is good exercise. They soon discover there are lots of things with wheels - from unicycles to rickshaws to bicycles built for two. Nick is impressed with professional bike racers, which leads to a discussion with Mr. Boyd about bicycle safety. Baby Bop helps decorate the bikes for the parade, and they begin by making license plates. When Nick's bike is fixed and Barney adds the finishing touch with balloons - the parade is ready to roll!

PBS #717 It's A Happy Day
It's an extra special day when Beth invents a new holiday called "Happy Day." The kids can make a wish for something that will make them happy - and the others try to make the wish come true. Barney and the kids discuss faces and feelings and the ways people show they're happy - by laughing or hugging. Dogs wag their tails, and cats show they're happy when they purr, which leads to singing "Three Little Kittens." When the kids pretend to be robots, they discover that sad feelings are better than no feelings at all. BJ's wish to take a fishing trip changes when Beth has an unexpected accident that makes her "Happy Day" a sad one. When BJ throws a surprise party for Beth, everyone is happy. Barney reminds the kids that the best happiness of all is doing things for others.

Whitney's treasure is a bracelet her grandmother gave her, and Gianna's treasures are teddy bears - which leads to singing "Teddy Bear Picnic." Mario's family treasure is a book given to him by his brother. As the children discuss types of families, they learn that families might even include pet dogs! Barney explains that no matter the size, families are people who love one another. Arriving at the picnic, they discover that Barney sent their invitations and that he has a special surprise; it's a family picnic, and their families were invited too!

PBS #719 Splish! Splash!
A "too hot" afternoon becomes a "totally cool" day when Barney introduces his friends to the wonderful world of water. A cool drink at a water fountain leads to a discussion that water is everywhere around them. Water is important for drinking and bathing, and it's fun for playing in - as Captain BJ proves with the help of his toy boat. Droopy flowers in the park get water from the kids, and hot kids get nice cool lemonade from Angela. As they listen to the watery sounds of an aquarium, they sing "The Fishing Song" and "If I Lived Under the Sea." The ultimate way to experience water is to get into the swim of things with a real swimming pool - which makes a big splash with the kids and is a good opportunity to review swimming safety rules. Water is everywhere, and fun is anywhere with Barney!

PBS #720 BJ's Really Cool House
The park is a home away from home for Barney and his friends, but BJ wants to build his very own "totally awesome, completely cool" house. While BJ works on his house, Barney teaches the kids about houses and homes through songs such as "That's A Home To Me" and by using his laptop computer to show them a variety of homes from around the world. Following is an impromptu show about fanciful nursery rhyme homes. When a picture puzzle of rooms in a house triggers a series of make-believe activities, a toy kitchen yields yummy macaroni and cheese, and a bubbling bathtub is the right place for Baby Bop's bath. BJ thinks his house is finished but discovers he's forgotten something and needs to make room for someone he loves - Baby Bop! Barney reminds them that a family and loving friends make a house a home.
