Barney's Talent Show is really cute. My baby likes the music, however too much dialogue defers her attention. She is only 8 months old. I like this video though because it encourages children to express themselves, be creative and use their talents.

This video is an older one, but a great one. My two year old loves it. It has such a variety of songs with such different themes it really keeps her attention. Along with a couple of different verses to 'puttin on a show', there are some different songs that I have not seen on any other videos. This tape is a definate must for your barney library.

Video arrived in a timely manner and in good shape.

We got this video probably in 2000. It didn't get much use with my oldest child, as it's pure entertainment and I concentrated more on educational videos for her limited TV/video time. I find I limit TV and videos even more now that I have 2 children (2 and 5), but try to do more of the education myself. This is their current favorite! Interestingly enough, it's Shawn's magic show attempts that capture their imagination the most and they now put on pretend magic shows with their hats, toys and mineral rock collection ("magic minerals" - don't ask me how they came up with it) every evening with their daddy. My older daughter even wants to put on her own show like the kids in the video. My only question mark with this video is, what happened to "Min's Flapper Song"? There are references to it in the video, a picture of Min's face in her flapper costume on the back of the video and it's even listed in the songs/acts on the back of the box. Such a mystery!

When I First watched this video I was very dissapointed because I thought when Barney and his Friends did the talent show there was a real crowd clapping and cheering for them. But when I first saw this video I found out It was just stupid sound effects. Don't buy this stupid video for your child.

All this video is about is how to get over stage fright. Shawn, Min, Jason, and Alissa & Ashley help Stage Fright Steven get over stage fright. It doesn't even have any education in this dumb video. I do like it when Alissa and Ashley play Copycat Sisters in the talent show, though. That part tears me up! Don't even get this video with Shawn, Min, Jason, Steven and Alissa and Ashley because this stinken movie has no educational skills.
