"My Family's Just Right For Me" is the second episode of the first season of Barney & Friends.
Plot[]
It's the eve of "Family Night" at school. A super time for Barney and his friends to celebrate all those wonderful folks (and even pets!) at home. With paintings, books, songs, and dances. There's just one glitch to the gala; Kathy's not sure her "small" family measures up. It's just her mom, her grandmother, and herself. But, after Barney gets through with his fun and games, the children realize that a family is defined by love, not by size.
