==Plot ==
The kids are in for "tens of fun" when Barney's friend, "Mr. Tenagain" visits. His passion for all "things 10" leads to playing knick-knack, counting toes, the reading of "Ten, Nine, Eight" and an account of his trip to the moon in outer space. Snack time generates some antics in a pretend kitchen, and a delightful picnic - visited by some rather unusual ants! Finally, Mr. Tenagain leaves surprise instructions on "the nicest way to count to 10".

== Trivia ==
*This episode marked:
**The final televised appearance of [[Michael]], as well as his final appearance as a regular cast member. He later returns as a guest cast member in the [[Barney's 10th Anniversary|10th anniversary]] special, [[Sing And Dance With Barney|''Sing and Dance With Barney'']].
**The first appearance of [[Mr. Tenagain]] and the only time he appeared with [[Kathy (Lauren King)|Kathy]], [[Tosha]], [[Michael]] and [[Min]]. 
**The final episode where "[[I Love You]]" is sung in D major. 
***However, the song will be later sung in D major in some home videos such as "[[Barney's Night Before Christmas]]", "[[Be My Valentine, Love Barney]]" and "[[Barney's Beach Party]]". 
**The final time "[[The Ants Go Marching]]" is sung in E and F minor.
***In addition, after this episode, the song won't be sung in its original version until "[[Itty Bitty Bugs]]" (without counting the version sung in "[[Hats Off to BJ!]]" where this song is shortened). 
**The first time [[Baby Bop]] appears without [[BJ]] since his debut in "[[Look At Me, I'm 3!]]".
*If you count the songs sung in the episode, they are ten. This is most likely done to further tie in with the episode's theme. 
**In addition, the only songs in this episode that have nothing to do with the number 10, are "Aiken Drum" and "Hello, Goodbye". 
*Min wears the same outfit from "[[May I Help You?]]". 
*The version of "[[This Old Man]]" in this episode makes the song the only song ever to be sung in B, C, D-flat, D and E-flat major. Every future song will have just a change from B major to C major.
*Although not portraying Mr. Tenagain, [[R. Bruce Elliott]] (his portrayer) will return in fourteen years portraying [[Ryan's Grandpa]] in the episode "[[Grandpa's Visit]]".
===Goofs===
*[[Michael]] has the red number 10 on the front and the back of his soccer jacket. However, in "[[The Exercise Circus!]]", [[Michael]] has the red number 14 on the front and the back of his soccer jacket. This is likely to further tie in with this episode's theme.
*Although knowing how to count to "10" in this episode, [[Baby Bop]] does not know how to count to "10" in "[[A-Counting We Will Go!]]".
