Barney: My Favorite Things | October 12, 1993 (S02E12)

In this classic 1993 episode, Barney and the kids are spending the day sharing their "favorite things." It’s a simple but sweet premise that allows each child to show off their personality, whether it's a favorite toy, a favorite book, or a favorite hobby. This episode is particularly nostalgic for 90s kids because it features the "original" Season 2 cast—including Kathy, Min, and Tosha—at the height of the show's popularity. It’s also a great episode for Baby Bop, who is still riding high from her 3rd birthday and wants to show off her favorite blanket! Highlights of this October '93 Episode: The "Favorite" Song: The episode opens with a classic Barney-style rendition of "My Favorite Things" (made famous by The Sound of Music), setting the stage for a day of sharing. Baby Bop’s "Yellow Blankey": Baby Bop brings her signature yellow security blanket. Barney uses this to talk about how certain things can make us feel safe and happy. The Kids' Treasures: Each child brings something special to the treehouse. From a soccer ball to a collection of colorful rocks, it’s a great lesson in respecting what others find important. The "Guessing Game": Barney plays a fun game where he describes a "favorite thing" and the kids have to guess what it is based on the clues. BJ’s Cool Stuff: Having just debuted two episodes prior, BJ is still showing off his "cool" gear, including his red sneakers and his baseball cap. Song List: Features "The Barney Bag," "Growing," and the iconic "I Love You" finale. Watching this on its original 1993 VHS release (often found on the Barney's Favorites tapes) is a trip back to a simpler time. It’s an episode all about the joy of being yourself and celebrating the small things that make life fun.
