Purple and green creatures are few and far between, but there's one in particular that comes to mind....
I have to tell a story about Barney -- when my kids were in prime Barney age, I convinced them that I was afraid of purple dinosaurs and that was why we couldn't have him on the screen. They were quick to switch it off and reassured me that it was "only a guy in a suit, Mommy." Thus we enjoyed a Barney-free existence. And, my kids looked out for me, cool cats that they are.
