Trivia
2004 like a 2005 one.
 * This season marked:
 * The first season to be in the  Barney and Friends' Fourth Era  (January 21, 2006-October 11, 2016).
 * The first season to feature the 4 dinosaurs (Barney, Baby Bop, BJ and Riff).
 * The first season to be produced by WNET New York.
 * The first season in which Karen Barnes is the executive producer, replacing the last new executive producer Randy Dalton.
 * The first season appearance of Riff.
 * The final appearances of Jackson,
 * The first appearances of Ryan, Olivia, Amy, Lucas and Claire.
 * The only appearances of Sophie, Ethan, Allison, Emma, Lindsey, Sadie, Bethany, Lacey, Melissa, Peter, Scott, Josh, Danny, Haley, Riley, Samantha, Abigail, Jason, Matthew, Jessica, Madison, and Patty.
 * Originally, a small cartoon segment was placed between the first and second episode in each whole episode. However, before Season 11 introduced "Barney's Music Box" segment, the cartoon was scrapped and re-airings of some episodes of this season has the "Barney's Music Box" segment.
 * Set Renovations:
 * The Park: The roof of the gazebo is now taken off & magical musical stepping stones are added.
 * The Caboose: The green closet now appears inside.
 * At a 47 kid cast, this season has the largest cast of any season. However, the kids are significantly downplayed, so that this season could focus on Barney and the dinos. The kids rarely have any lines or get to sing. In fact, Jamal and Michael are the only two kids that get to sing this season: Jamal sang "Look at Me I'm Dancing!" and Michael sang "I Can See It on Your Face" with Barney.
 * Like in Season 9, Barney comes to life during the end of the theme song, not during the actual episode.
 * The reason Season 10 (and 11) got episodes cut in half was so that it could air on BBC in the U.K.. If the episode length didn't get changed, Barney would have gotten dropped. BBC has gone to a format where all the shows were 10-15 minutes long.
 * The following episodes this season have alternate endings that did have the song I Love You sung, that can either be seen in HIT Favorites episode videos, the U.K. iTunes, Late 2010 re-runs of this season, Netflix for Extra and The Kindle:
 * Winter (HIT Favorites: Winter Wonderland/Late 2010 re-run)
