Sunny Side Up (previously known as The Sunny Side Up Show) is a defunct television programming block which premiered on Sprout on September 26, 2007[1][2] and ended on August 11, 2017. Each week, a new theme was introduced,[3] including food, Halloween, animals, construction, fall, opposites, and birthdays. Sunny Side Up aired at 9:00 a.m. Eastern/8:00 a.m. Central until 12:00 p.m. Eastern/11:00 a.m. Central each weekday morning. The hosts of Sunny Side Up played games, sang songs, told stories, and showed birthday cards or artwork.
Sunny Side Up was Sprout's morning program. It was produced live every weekday, and hosted by a human host along with Chica, a chicken puppet who later got her own show. Before moving to a "city apartment" set, the show took place on a set dubbed The Sunshine Barn and decorated with farm-themed objects. The hosts were Carly and Tim. Each hosted the show for one week with each week's host being announced late in the previous week. Each week's host introduced programs, read birthdays, led activities related to the week's theme, and read messages sent in by individual "Sproutlet" viewers through the Sprout website. There were daily activities such as "The Good Egg Awards" (renamed "The Kindness Kid Awards") celebrating viewers' accomplishments, and "Sproutlet Stories" allowed "Sproutlets" to tell different stories with different plots, characters, and settings.
The theme tune from 2007-2013 was Brand New Day. From 2013-2015 it instead was Chica's Here.
Some episodes of the show were supposedly archived by IMDb and on-demand services since Sprout rebranded, and a few can be found on YouTube.
