Well, Barney's show was called Barney & Friends, that alone is a massive clue to the connection, don't you think? 😏

If you truly want to see what I mean, you probably should read the Wikipedia articles on the show and Anti-Barney humor, but basically the gist of it is that they don't really deal with actual problems that children and the younger generation should learn to deal with, friendship and good feelings trumps all, the show is repetitive and formulaic as fuck, and it's lead protagonist is a one-dimensional, generic, insipid and insufferable idiot... Still doesn't ring a bell?
