''Barney and the Backyard Gang'' is a direct-to-video series produced by The Lyons Group and was produced from October 13, 1988 to October 20, 1991. This series launched the PBS television show ''Barney & Friends''. The first three episodes from 1988 and 1989 include Sandy Duncan as Michael and Amy's mother. Music for the ''Barney & the Backyard Gang'' videos was created by Stephen Bates Baltes and Phillip Parker (as with the television series), and Lory Lazarus wrote the first original song produced for Barney, "Friends Are Forever", sung by Duncan. In the first five videos, "I Love You" was sung at the beginning. (It was sung at the end of ''Barney Goes to School'' and ''Barney in Concert'', and later frequently sung only at the end of all episodes of ''Barney & Friends''.) The series was a regional success, but only a moderate success throughout the rest of the country. Then one day, in 1991, Larry Rifkin, then head of Connecticut Public Television, rented a Barney video for his daughter Leora. He liked the concept and talked to Leach about possibly putting Barney on television through the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). ''Rock with Barney'' was the last video in the series before the television show debuted. Also, only four of the kids from the videos (Michael, Derek, Tina, and Luci) were carried over to the television show. ==Video list== In order of release date: * ''The Backyard Show'' (Pilot) (October 13, 1988) * ''Three Wishes'' (January 27, 1989) * ''A Day at the Beach'' (April 6, 1989) * ''Waiting for Santa'' (January 6, 1990) * ''Campfire Sing-Along'' (June 8, 1990) * ''Barney Goes to School'' (August 15, 1990) * ''Barney in Concert'' (July 29, 1991) * ''Rock with Barney'' (Series Finale) (October 20, 1991) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barney and the Backyard Gang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
