Duncan took the role of \u201cMom\u201d in an early iteration of the series, a stint lasting three episodes that went straight to video.<\/p>\n
“When I got there and saw what it was, I went, ‘Oh my God, what have I done?'” Duncan joked on the \u201cNostalgia Tonight With Joe Sibilia\u201d podcast<\/a>. “We filmed it, and it was very much a [children’s] show. It ended because I had to go back to work.”<\/p>\n Duncan opted not to reprise her role after the success of the video series, which went on to become \u201cBarney and Friends\u201d on PBS, something she admits she regretted.<\/p>\n HOLLYWOOD – AUGUST 18: Barney the dinosaur greets the audience during the Hollywood Radio and Television Society’s 10th Annual Kids Day 2004 show on August 18, 2004 at Hollywood and Highland’s grand ballroom in Hollywood, California.

His son, Quinton, whom he adopted with wife Loni Anderson in 1988, was a superfan of the VHS tape.<\/p>\n “We were at a big gathering, one of those events, and somebody behind my back creeped up and whispered in my ear, ‘I wanted to kill you,\u2019\u201d Duncan revealed. It was Reynolds, and she explained, \u201cBecause he had a toddler, and he said, ‘All we have on television is you and Barney.'”<\/p>\n AUSTIN, TX – MARCH 12: Actor Burt Reynolds attends the screening of “The Bandit” during the 2016 SXSW Music, Film + Interactive Festival at Paramount Theatre on March 12, 2016 in Austin, Texas.
