ahhh, RIP Barney. You will always make us laugh and feel better. You were and are the greatest. I do wish, however, he would not have made guest appearances in the color version. He just wasn't as funny then, to me. I think the writers made him look goofy sometimes but in the black and whites, he was the best. I purchased all the black and white DVDs and Barney and Andy do the commercials. Funny stuff.
