[QUOTE="Mean Purple, post: 3099880, member: 72660"] Wow. Awesome. I was at a mall up in the twin cities area (St Paul) early 1990s when that show first made the leap from home video to PBS. Was familiar with it because I had worked a way too early internship at a local Texas tv station and our boss knew the guy who went all in to get PBS to pick it up. I think it was '92 or something when they opened on network. The home video was out before that. (Think they shot it in the DFW area.) I go up to see family and am at a mall in the Roseville Maplewood area about late 93. That show was getting pretty popular and they were pimping the heck out of it. I'm in a store picking up a Twins cap and a Puckett jersey. near the main court they start some goofy music and I go out and see a person walking with some poor soul in the cheapest looking Barney costume to see some kids. I go back in the store. Few minutes later hear kids screaming and a whole ruckus. Step back out to check it out and see some teenagers sprinting down the mall with one of them holding a big purple object. Those [ Finebaum ] s had some how got the costume head off the guy, in front of the little kids, and bolted. A few days later we were up top of the Radisson eating at the Carousel up in Duluth and my cousin and I were still laughing about it. Heck, we still laugh about it when it comes to mind. [/QUOTE]
