I have vivid memories of two tv show episodes that I saw between the ages 6-8 (2008-2010) that I believe aired on Sprout (Other possible networks could be PBS or discovery kids ), for further context I live in the US
The show followed a cgi animal-like girl and her family and the episodes couldn't have been longer than 5-10 minutes each
the first episode follows the main character refusing to eat her dinner, saying she wants to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches instead. her parents say she'll get sick of eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches if that's all she eats but she doesn't listen. days go by and every time the family sits down for a meal she gets a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, eventually the family is having pizza and the main character is sad she has to eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich instead of pizza. she climbs under the table and starts talking to the audience about how she's sick of eating peanut butter and jelly but is afraid to tell her mom. soon she comes out from under the table and tells her mom that she'll start eating her vegetables again and the episode ends.
the second episode opens with the main character packing her stuff getting ready for a day at the zoo. she runs downstairs and starts rushing her family out the door, exited to leave. they don't get very far before it's revealed that the girl's little sister is sick and that the family won't get to go to the zoo that day. the girl is visibly upset and her parents tell her they can go once her sister is feeling better. later there's a shot of the girl sleeping in her room with the hall light on, you can hear her sister crying while her parents try to soothe her. the mom says "honey, get the bucket" in a panicked voice as the dad runs across the hallway and puking noises are heard the dad sighs and says "i'll get the mop". even later in the episode the girl goes under the dining room table and starts talking about how angry she is that her sister ruined the trip to the zoo and about how her parents are spending all their time with her sick sibling soon she signs a song to the tune of "Georges Bizet -Carmen Habanera"
from what i remember the lyrics go as such:
" Little sisters / they are a pain/ they're worse than clouds/ and they're worse than rain/ little sisters/ when they get sick/ having sisters is ych ych ych/ they like to cry/ and cry and wine/ and take the toys that are really mine/ they like to yak and yak and yak/ sometimes I wish I could send them back"
finally the little sister is fully healed and the family is getting ready for the zoo again, the girl comes downstairs ready to leave but she's sneezing and coughing. her mom checks her temperature and says she's sick. the episode ends with the family not going to the zoo again because she's sick.
I've tried looking up the lyrics from the song but nothing comes up so i'm not 100% sure if these are correct
I also recall Pajanimals shorts airing between/ after these
that's pretty much all I can remember if anyone knows what I'm talking about then I'd love to hear about it
