Family TV Round-Up: Barney Live on Valentine's Day, New 'Suite Life' Movie and More

Welcome to the Family TV Round-Up, a recap of all kid-friendly programming across the television universe. We'll sum up all the news related to children's programming, as well as profile the people and shows that your kids, tweens and teens are talking about.

Last week we spoke about Valentine's Day-themed family programming that would be appearing up to and including the actual holiday. This week, we can add one more program to the list of those who will be offering up love-themed shows.

On Monday, starting at 9AM, PBS Kids Sprout's 'Sunny Side Up Show' will be highlighting the holiday with an appearance by everyone's favorite purple dinosaur, Barney.

The lovable dino, who has been with PBS for nearly 20 years, will answer Valentine's Day voicemails, emails and video questions from viewers from the start of the show until noon. And once 'The Sunny Side Up Show' ends, Barney will be joined with another dinosaur, Dorothy of 'The Wiggles,' for 'Sprout's Dino-Mite Valentine's Sing-A-Long. Running from 12-3PM, the show will feature the two singing about love and friendship while introducing craft projects and holiday-themed messages.
