A Circle's Shape is Round" (also plays instrumentally during the end credits)." This Is The Way We Wash The Bike" (also plays instrumentally during the end credits).BJ (Voice: Patty Wirtz Costume: Jeff Brooks).Baby Bop (Voice: Julie Johnson Costume: Jeff Ayers).Barney (Voice: Duncan Brannan / Tim Dever Costume: David Joyner).Finally, everyone is back in the treehouse putting the finishing touches on Robert's newly renovated bike. As Pop Wheely's magical machine cranks out a new wheel for Robert's bike, he lets Barney and his friends test new wheels for his bus, his horse wagon, his ship, his train, and airplanes as they learn about street and bike safety along the way. Pop Wheely absolutely loves wheels and anything that he has to do with transportation-and he just happens to run a wheel factory. As for how much the adult finds this entertaining, it would be equal to how much the adult likes the television show.When Robert bends a wheel cleaning his grandfather's old bike, Barney suggests him and the other kids visit with his friend, "Pop Wheely". If your child loves the Barney TV shows then s/he will love this show. It is very much like the TV shows in content and quality. Overall this is typical Barney fare: inclusion of many ethnicities, trying to be fair by showing multiple celebrations of various peoples, and making the main focus something that is not secular. Christians may not like that the central focus of this Christmas show is not religious despite the title containing the word "Christmas". One scene asks what is best about the holidays and the boy says "wrapping presents, giving presents and opening presents". (Typical of Barney shows, Barney is more of an authority figure and more capable than the human adults, and "saves the day".)Overall this show is very much centered on presents and decorations such as the Christmas tree. They take it to the park, sing a new song about the star to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and Barney helps put the star on top of the tree since none of the adults can reach it, even with a ladder. Santa comes down the chimney and eats cookies that have been left for him while two children watch.BJ and Baby Bop appear out of nowhere and eventually they find the star. Barney finds a copy of a picture book version of "The Night Before Christmas" and reads it aloud while images of Santa on his sleigh are shown. Classic toys such as Raggedy Ann, drummer boys (soldiers), and teddy bears are found with glee. They sing songs and talk about what they find and sing non-religious Christmas songs. Grandma sends Barney and the children back to her house to look for it in the attic.Once in the attic, Grandfather gives them free reign to search for the missing star. Soon they realize the star for the top of the tree is missing. They are off to help out and sing "O Christmas Tree". ![]() The girl invites everyone to help decorate a big Christmas tree in a public park that her great-great grandfather planted many years ago. A girl enters and announces it is snowing and they all go outside to play, they sing songs about winter and snow, and build a snowman. Then Barney sings a generic song "I love the holidays". This is where all references to the religious aspect of the holidays and Christmas end. There are two boys and two girls.This show starts with Barney discussing the holidays and they show and sing about each of three tables: one with the nativity scene for Christmas, one for Hanukkah, and one for Kwanzaa. There are four children: one African-American, one Asian and two Caucasian. "As usual, the show opens inside of Barney's Playhouse.
