The Birthday Show

The Birthday Show was a programming block on Sprout where presenter Kevin Yamada showed birthday cards and recipes. Throughout the block, viewers' birthday messages scrolled below the screen.

At the end of the block, Elmo, Barney, Noddy and other characters sang a birthday song.


The block dissolved in 2007, and was replaced by, you guessed it, the Sunny Side Up Show!

I love the idea of it. It can siphon off crowds and gives a real vibrancy to the channel.
