Most of us may be familiar with Barney & Friends, which was a PBS staple during the 90's and early '00's. What you might not know is that there was a DTV series that preceded the show by 4 years.
Barney & The Backyard Gang was a series of videos produced periodically between 1988-91. Actress Sandy Duncan (The Hogan Family) starred in the first three as the mother, but departed prior to the 4th DTV, a Christmas themed entry about Santa Claus.
Barney's theme song was a riff on "Yankee Doodle". The producers of Roger Ramjet did the same thing for their theme song more than 20 years earlier.

No rating. Just a public service.
