## History on Sprout

Big Bird

**Big Bird** is an 8'2" yellow bird who lives on Sesame Street. Since *Sesame Street* premiered in 1969, Big Bird has entertained millions of preschool children and their parents with his wide-eyed wondering at the world.

The world-famous bird has been a central character on *Sesame Street* for the program's run, debuting in the first episode. The big yellow bird can roller skate, ice skate, dance, sing, write poetry, draw and even ride a unicycle — pretty talented for a character described in the TV show's writer's guide as a 6-year-old. But despite this wide array of talents, he's prone to frequent misunderstandings, like thinking that the alphabet is one long word.

Big Bird lives in a large nest behind 123 Sesame Street and next to Oscar's trash can, and he has a teddy bear named Radar.

Big Bird helps children feel all right about not knowing everything because he himself does not know everything, and encourages them to inquire: a common Big Bird phrase in recent years has been "Asking questions is a good way of finding things out!" He also teaches other life, alphabet, and numerical lessons: "I guess it's better to be who you are. Turns out people like you best that way, anyway."

## Notes

* Both Carly Ciarrocchi and Kaitlin Becker called Big Bird their "favorite Sesame character" in interviews at SproutOnline.com.

Brenda loves her work and knows that she is handling a very special fleet of planes, and therefore she has a personal relationship with every one of them.

## Notes

Baby Bop is a good friend of Barney's and the younger sister of BJ. She is also Riff's cousin.

Baby Bop is like many precocious children her age. She loves to carry her yellow blanket around and is almost never even seen without it, calling it her "blankey". She sings about her blankey at times with the songs "My Yellow Blankey" and "Baby Bop's Blankey". Baby Bop's favorite toy doll is her stuffed teddy bear, something she loves almost as much as her blanket.

She is an avid dancer, and has taken many ballet classes to pursue this hobby. She also loves to hop, as seen through the song "The Baby Bop Hop".

Baby Bop's favorite food is macaroni and cheese, but she still likes many other foods such as apples and bananas, popcorn, and even pizza. She loves tea parties, and will try to host them with as many of her friends as she can. One of her favorite animals at the zoo is an elephant and she has an elephant doll named Nelly. She also loves to ride on her tricycle, which she got when she turned three.

Because HiT Entertainment co-owned Sprout when the channel was launched, it aired a variety of shows from its archive library on Sprout, including reruns of *Captain Zed and the Zee Zone*.

## Storyline

When children go to sleep, it is Captain Zed's and his partner PJ’s job to prevent children from having nightmares in the dream zone.

## History on Sprout

The show was one of many that seldom aired on TV as of 2005 (although it is alluded it did), but episodes were still often featured on Sprout on-demand, and it was listed as one of Sprout's VOD programs at Sproutletsgrow.com. However, the show did not hold up well since it was aimed at an older audience than preschool, and Sprout entirely removed it from the linear channel, its website, and on-demand sometime in 2006, alongside other shows.

Bumpers and Commercials

Along with its long-form and short-form shows, the PBS KIDS Sprout channel aired a variety of bumpers and commercials that advertised itself, on-demand, and its website.

Barney

*This article is about the character. For the show, see here.*

**Barney the Dinosaur** is a character and the main protagonist of the television series *Barney & Friends*, and its home video predecessor *Barney & the Backyard Gang*. A two hundred million year (two dinosaur years) old, six-foot (sometimes seven-foot) tall purple tyrannosaurus rex with a green belly and green spots on his back and his tail and yellow toes, he comes to life through a child's imagination, springing up from a doll to full size. In turn, Barney opens children's eyes to the joys of learning and discovery, to the wonders of make-believe, and to the beauty of unconditional love. Dubbed as the "Elvis for Toddlers" in the early days, he is best known for his silly and optimistic attitude.

His birthplace is Dallas, Texas (as he was created there by the creators), however, he lives and resides in one's imagination. His place of residence would later be expanded in the video *Come on Over to Barney's House* (2000).

Created by former teacher Sheryl Stamps Leach, Barney first appeared in the video titled *The Backyard Show* (1988), which was the first episode of the *Barney & the Backyard Gang*home video series.

David Voss originally performed as the costume for Barney from 1988 to 1990, and was succeeded by David Joyner, who would later define the costume mannerisms of the character. The character has been succeeded by many other costume performers during Joyner's time and after his resignation. The Barney character was originally voiced by Bob West from 1988 until 2000, but since his resignation has been voiced by many other voice actors, including Duncan Brannan, Tim Dever, and Dean Wendt.

Barney generally appears with his dino pals BJ, Riff and or Baby Bop, among others.

Barney was ranked at #3 for the highest paid entertainer, a list compiled by Forbes Magazine, in 1993-1994, following Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey.

From 1996-1998, Barney ranked as Billboard's top children's artist.

## Notes

* Barney was originally going to be a clown, a blanket, and a teddy bear until Sheryl Leach took her son to a dinosaur exhibit in winter 1988. He was also going to be a female sea serpent named Cecelia.
* Barney was originally going to be called "Cosby," "Colby," and "Danny," until Dennis DeShazer picked the final name.

Birthdays

**Birthdays** were a major staple on Sprout since its launch in 2005. Sproutlets at home were encouraged to send in a homemade birthday card featuring drawings or pictures of Sprout characters and the birthday child and see them on TV. If not, there would be a name scroll at the bottom of the screen. This tradition began with *The Birthday Show*, which launched when Sprout did, where Mr. Mailman delivered the cards to host Kevin. Birthday cards were often shown online and in segments, which aired during *The Let's Go Show* and *The Good Night Show*.

On *The Sunny Side Up Show*, birthdays were celebrated again with name scrolls, cards, birthday wishes, and a song. Wishes were originally shown on a balloon and a letter. Once again, Mr. Mailman delivered the cards, usually on his tractor, bus, or helicopter. He was dropped in 2015 with the move to an apartment somewhere in the big city. As of 2016, requests for birthday cards were diminished and the birthday segments relied more on birthday wishes. Kids whose birthday card and wishes were shown that day also had their names included on the bottom-of-the-screen scroll. Celebrities who participated in birthdays included Faith Evans, Willie Garson, and John Green.

On *Sprout House*, which superseded *Sunny Side Up* in 2017, birthday wishes were shown as part of a segment called "The Birthday Parade," in which an announcer would read the wishes in lieu of the host. These segments were dropped in 2018.

## Notes

* Birthday announcements were limited to two to six year olds.
