Madeline Fretz - Mr. Mailman was a character created by Sprout who debuted on The Birthday Show in 2005. Mr. Mailman originally delivered birthday cards to host Kevin, a trait he later did on The Sunny Side Up Show, which launched in 2007.
In a December 2005 article, it was announced that Sprout executives were developing four interstitial series about geography, healthy eating, music, and creative storytelling (source). The geography series would later become The Many Adventures of Mr. Mailman.
Many Adventures would follow Mr. Mailman as he would deliver letters, packages etc to his Sproutlet friends' relatives and other people like their teachers. The show premiered in July 2006, making it Sprout's first original series. The channel wouldn't make a full-length one until 2010.
The show also had an online presence on Sproutletsgrow.com (later SproutOnline.com). Here, you could download a personalized passport and cutout of Mr. Mailman, join Mr. Mailman's Travel Club, and play games such as dressing Mr. Mailman for the weather.
The show also got a Sprout Diner recipe, Mr. Mailman's Pita Pocket.
The show later aired on Musical Mornings with Coo and The Sunny Side Up Show, and continued to air as late as 2010.
