The Lyons Group, meanwhile, sent out notices through the Barney Fan Club, telling parents to write letters and make phone calls to their local PBS stations to show their support for Barney & Friends. When Rifkin and other CPTV executives learned this, they wrote letters to their fellow PBS member stations urging them to get PBS to reconsider. ДЄlthough the show was a runaway hit, PBS initially opted not to provide funding beyond the initial 30-episode run.

The series was produced by CPTV and Lyrick Studios (later bought by HIT Entertainment). The show debuted as Barney & Friends in 1992. Franklin and Rifkin convinced Leach to let CPTV revamp the concept for television. Franklin and Rifkin pitched the idea to all of their colleagues with preschoolers, and they all agreed that kids would love a Barney show. He pitched it to CPTV president Jerry Franklin, whose preschool son also fell in love with it. Rifkin thought Barney had appeal because he was not as neurotic as Big Bird. Rifkin thought the concept could be developed for PBS. One day in 1991, the daughter of Connecticut Public Television executive Larry Rifkin rented one of the videos and was 'mesmerized' by it. The first three videos starred actress Sandy Duncan. Leach then brought together a team who created a series of home videos, Barney and the Backyard Gang, initially released in 1988. She came up with the idea of a children's program after noticing that her son outgrew Wee Sing Together, and then recognizing that there were no videos to appeal to her son.
