. The series focused on a purple tyrannosaurus rex named [[Barney]], and a group of kids known as [[The Backyard Gang]], and the adventures they take, through their imaginations.
The series, for the most part, was for entertainment, having little to no education incorporated. Some tapes, such as ''[[Campfire Sing-Along]]'' and ''[[Barney Goes to School]]'', are really the only ones of the series to teach educational lessons. All the other tapes only focus on the caring and imagination aspect of Barney. It wasn't until ''Barney & Friends'', when the songs incorporated lessons and morals.
