BARBIE AND BARNEY BACKLASH DAY – December 16

Barbie and Barney aren't the only toys and television shows of childhood, but these two characters do have a nerve from time to time. Parents are able to put off the enthralling cartoons and songs on the day. Parents may want to read at bedtime with a different book. Put away the tumultuous toys. If you dare.

Barney & Friends was founded in 1987 by Sheryl Leach. The show first aired on PBS in 1992 and was targeted at children aged 1 to 8. Many of his educational messages were performed and danced by the friendly, purple tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur. Although children adored Barney, many adults found him troubling. Barney & Friends aired for 14 seasons, as well as several reruns, amid the adults' feelings.

Barbara Millicent Roberts is Barbie's full name, and Ruth Handler created the fashion doll. Barbie's boyfriend Ken Carson was introduced in 1961 by Mattel. Barbie was one of the first toys to have a marketing plan based heavily on television advertisements, which was surprisingly good. Barbie dolls have been sold in over 150 countries around the world, according to estimates.

Barbie is often chastised for being an unrealistic image of a woman. Her figure alone is unrealistic. Barbie has morphed both in style and shape over the years. The Barbie brand honored pioneering women from many decades, as well as current ones.
