Yes, this is actually real. It's not fake, it's real.

The Three Friends... and Jerry (1998-1999) is an animated series created by the Swedish illustrator Magnus Carlsson. The series aired on Nickelodeon in the United Kingdom. It was also produced in association with Nick, according to the end credits.

It was produced by Happy Life from Sweden and TMO Film GmbH from Germany.

The Three Friends... and Jerry Life is not easy at age 10. And Jerry can attest.
Jerry is the new kid at school and he doesn't really fit in with his classmates. The "Three Friends" (Frank, Eric and Thomas) reluctantly hang out with him...as long as he helps them with their day-to-day problems. The guys are usually joined by their girl counterparts Linda (Frank's cousin), Mimmi, and Tess.
The series was distributed by HiT Entertainment internationally. In 2005, HiT Entertainment partnered to launch PBS Kids Sprout and The Three Friends and Jerry was made available on Sprout on Demand. (Really. Here's the original article confirming it.) The show was a bit of an outlier there, as the rest of the shows were preschool-friendly, while Jerry was more for older kids.

According to the PBS Kids Sprout TV Wiki, the show seldom aired on the linear channel as of 2005, but select episodes were still featured on-demand as part of "Children's Favorites" and it was listed on Sproutletsgrow.com as one of Sprout’s on-demand programs. However, the show did not hold up well since it was not for preschoolers at all.
The show was criticized for its child-unfriendly content, including sexual references, racial stereotypes, illegal and morally questionable actions that children might see as fun to imitate, and offensive language (one episode had the kids get in trouble for swearing), and was one of many to be eliminated from Sprout in 2006.

I couldn't find any images of the show airing on PBS Kids Sprout and I couldn't even find some footage of the show airing on that channel, which is a shame.

So, I decided to do a recreation of the show airing on PBS Kids Sprout.

And in case you're wondering what episode this is, it's Work Experience.

Sorry if the image looks low-quality, but it's okay.
