Main roles

Barney & Friends

"Waiting For Mr. MacRooney"

Robert is waiting for Mr. MacRooney, the mail carrier, to arrive. His cousin, Mateo, has promised him a special surprise and, in the past, it has always come by mail. Barney and the children help Robert keep busy while he waits. When Mr. MacRooney arrives he has something for everyone but Robert. Robert is happily surprised when his cousin Mateo shows up in person for a visit.

"Let's Eat"

Today is a very special day for Robert. It's his mom's birthday and he is going out to a fancy restaurant for the very first time. Barney and his friends help Robert get ready for his big night out by creating a pretend restaurant. Meanwhile, when Robert realizes that he forgot to get his mom a birthday present, the other children offer the placemats they made to him as a special gift for his mom.

"Birthday Olé"

It's Robert's birthday, and Barney and the others are throwing him a surprise birthday fiesta.

Round and Round We Go

Keesha, Emily and Danny help Robert clean and fix up his grandfather's old bike in the treehouse. As Robert fixes the front wheel of the bike, it pops off and becomes broken. Barney suggests that they visit his friend Pop Wheely, who has a factory that makes all kinds of wheels. Pop Wheely notices Robert's broken wheel and tells him that it's not going to work because it's not round. While Pop can't fix the old wheel, he's able to make a brand new wheel for the bike. After everyone has fun with different modes of transportation, Robert's new bike wheel is ready. Back at the treehouse, Robert is pleased to know that the new wheel fits with the bike. Barney and the children eventually put the finishing touches on Robert's newly renovated bike.
