April Fools: Sprout's 2nd or 4th Anniversary

UPDATE (4/2/2025): For my April Fools day prank yesterday, I decided to tell you about Sprout anniversary stunts that never existed for what would've been the network's 20th this year, inspired by ToughPigs' prank in 2019, where they reviewed forgotten Sesame Street anniversary specials for the show's 50th that year. I was going to include the Stage Mice in this picture, but forgot to.

As you probably know, Sprout rebranded on September 21, 2009. Not only that, but the third season of The Good Night Show premiered with Nina appearing on The Sunny Side Up Show for New Adventures week, Rubbadubbers joining the nightly lineup, and on the day of the 2nd anniversary on the 26th of that month, a special programming block was held from 12PM to 3PM ET, called "Sprout Celebrates 2 Years of Fun!." It was supposed to teach Sproutlets about the number 2, counting up to it, and things we see two of, but after Sesame Street (this was the third link), Kevin reminded Kelly and Chica that this was supposed to be 4 years since the years 2005 and 2006 existed, so Sprout apologized for the inconvenience and this stunt was never seen or heard from again ... or until now, as I recently found out about it.
