The show was one of many to premiere on PBS Kids Sprout as it launched on September 26, 2005. Six months prior, it premiered on Sprout on Demand under the "Children's Favorites" label and eventually in its own.
The show got its own Sprout Diner snack, ShishkaBoohbahs, and a Birthday Show activity, Boohbah Colorful Surprise Ball. The former was rethemed to The Hoobs and Babu from The Mighty Jungle, and the latter was themed after Chica in 2008.
The show left Sprout in December 2009.
You may be asking yourself, why am I blogging about this show today? Well, Boohbah is a special one because, on September 26th, 2005, when the clock struck 6AM ET, PBS Kids Sprout launched on digital cable. As a the ever resourceful Wayback Machine shows, Boohbah became the first show to air on the new channel.
