Barney's Back (Oh Boy)

[Mark Jeffries]

The notorious purple dinosaur is back, this time as a CGI animated character in a CGI world (this time there won't be future stars in his young charges like Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato in the original "Barney and Friends") on the new series "Barney's World," dropping Oct. 14 on Max and then making its linear premiere on Oct. 18 on Cartoon Network (thank you, Daddy Zaslav):

The Texas Republicans behind the original home video and PBS series are not involved here, as the character is now owned by Mattel. None of the original voices of Barney and his sidekick Baby Bop are involved either, as the show's produced by Canada's Nelvana.
