Description

BJ is a main recurring character on the television series, Barney & Friends. A seven-year-old yellow Protoceratops, BJ made his first appearance in season two of the show with the episode, "Look At Me, I'm 3!", in 1993. He debuted as a six-year-old, but eventually turned seven in the national stage show tour of Barney's Big Surprise (1996-1998). BJ is a good friend of Barney's and the older brother of Baby Bop, whom he frequently calls "Sissy", though on rare occasions, he does call her by name. He is also Riff's cousin and his best friend. Like the other dinosaurs, BJ comes from the imagination of children. At the end of most episodes of Barney & Friends, he (alongside Baby Bop and Riff) disappear into a burst of magical sparkles. BJ is described as an impulsive dinosaur but is always eager to help his friends. As an active seven-year-old, BJ also likes to run, jump, and ride around on his red scooter. Although he loves baseball, basketball, and soccer, it's safe to say that he has never met a sport he didn't like. He also likes to play the drums and the guitar. It was established in Come On Over to Barney's House that he also played drums in his rock band, 'BJ and the Rockets'. BJ enjoys pretending to be Captain Pickles, his superhero alter-ego, with the name being a nod to his favorite snack, pickles. BJ's theme song is none other than the titular, "BJ's Song".
