I'll agree there. I'd much rather have Elmo on than Barney. Heck, 3 years
ago I'd be in 100% agreement with you. It's funny that me, my wife and my
sister-in-law and her husband as well as many more of our DINK friends were
all anti-Barney and swore that we wouldn't have Barney around -- that is
until we had kids. Now, it's just a part of all of our lives.
I have a whole new respect for the actors and actresses that take the time
to do work with CTW and Sesame Street now that I have kids.
