My Week with 2009: Fire Prevention Week

 


September was Fire Prevention Month, which I missed a mark on, but still mentioned in a post. Sprout celebrated Fire Prevention Month with a week on fire safety on The Sunny Side Up Show all the way back in 2009, which was probably a little while after the network rebrand.

I'm guessing this picture was from that week.

The week was hosted by Kevin Yamada (during his last few Sunny hosting months) and Chica, with special guests firefighter Dayna Hilton and Sparkles the Fire Safety Dog, who I mentioned in the aforementioned Sprout birthday post, and the CGI episodes of Fireman Sam commenced. Previously, only the stop-motion episodes of said show aired on Sprout.



Hilton and Sparkles also hosted fire safety tips sponsored by State Farm (the videos are from 2010, but whatever).

Anyways, for Sprout this was a great start to airing new episodes of Fireman Sam! Though the Sproutlets probably wouldn't notice the animation change… The Sam CGI episodes aired until May 11, 2014, the day The Sprout Sharing Show dissolved and a day before Lily's Driftwood Bay premiered.
