Bean and Sportacus
The Super Sproutlet Show was a programming block created by Sprout and LazyTown. It aired daily from 2PM to 4PM ET in the timeslot formerly occupied by the last hour of the Daytime block and the first hour of The Sprout Sharing Show, in 2012. The block was later moved to weekday mornings from 7AM to 9AM ET the next year after Sprout's Wiggly Waffle dissolved.
Premise
- "The Super Sproutlet Show is an entertaining, interactive 2-hour programming block designed to celebrate real preschoolers and their families' active routines and lifestyles. The block features Sportacus and is co-hosted by Bean, Sprout’s newest original character, who bikes across the country with her "Bean Pod" finding everyday sproutlets who are being active and good to the Earth."
