Sprout's Special Valentine Delivery

 

Madeline Fretz - In 2007, Sprout celebrated Valentine's Day. Not with cards and chocolates, but with Mr. Mailman. You see, Sprout was celebrating the Season 2 premiere of its first original series The Many Adventures of Mr. Mailman, which premiered in July last year. From 6AM to 6PM on Valentine's Day (February 14th), Mr. Mailman would deliver both on-air wishes from characters like Barney, Elmo, Caillou, The Hoobs, and the Teletubbies and virtual cards from Sproutlets and their Big Sprouts.

The following year, The Sunny Side Up Show celebrated Valentine's Day by inviting Sesame Street's Prairie Dawn to join the fun. It was around this time that viewers could get a chance to call Kelly and Chica LIVE! from 9AM to noon.

Sprout described this opprotunity(sp?) as:

"Join Kelly, Chica and special guest Prairie Dawn from 9am-noon and again at 3-6pm ET for Sprout's Special Valentine's Day Delivery Celebration LIVE during The Sunny Side Up Show. Call Kelly, Chica & Prairie Dawn LIVE today from 3-6pm at (877) 91-CHICA - your call may be on Sprout!
