Just one of the world’s most beloved children’s figures turned into a goal for loathe.
These is the dim story of everyone’s favorite chatting dinosaur, Barney. And that story will be explored in Peacock’s two-part docuseries “I Really like You, You Loathe Me,” which premieres Oct. 12.
The series will stick to “the rise and slide of Barney the Dinosaur’s furious backlash — and what it claims about the human want to dislike,” in accordance to the streamer’s description.
Since the premiere of “Barney & Pals” in 1992, the character, developed by Sheryl Leach, turned a strike. Soon after all, “What colour is happier than purple? No shade,” suggests Bill Nye in the series’ trailer.
“As her beloved character was heading into the stratosphere,” states Al Roker, “folks couldn’t settle for that this was just a show. And so, allow the bashing commence.”
The “bashing” arrived in the kind of violently destroying Barney items, spreading rumors — including one claiming that Barney actors hid drugs in the costume’s tail — and even death threats toward the show’s performers, crew and their families.

Previous Barney actor Bob West recalled such an occasion in the trailer, saying, “They have been gonna arrive uncover me and they were going to destroy me.”
“From Barney-bashing to frat functions to homicidal online video games, a thing in American modern society broke into a million items, and it is never been place alongside one another again,” Peacock’s description carries on, “or is this just who we had been all alongside?”
Hinted at in the trailer, the series may also touch upon a 2013 taking pictures involving Leach’s son Patrick. He was sentenced to 15 many years in prison in 2015 for shooting neighbor Eric Shanks in the chest.
An interviewee remarks at the conclude of the trailer, “I never feel you could at any time think somebody would go and shoot a person.”
The docuseries is directed by Tommy Avallone and executive manufactured by Rob Eric, Joel Chiodi, David Collins, Michael Williams, Tommy Avallone, Raymond Esposito, Wendy Greene and Amy Goodman Kass. Trent Johnson also serves as a producer.
