Sprout Sharing Show

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sprout Sharing Show is a programming block on the PBS KIDS Sprout cable channel. The show premiered on May 5, 2008, airing on weekday afternoons (3PM-6PM EST) in the time slot formerly occupied by the Let's Go Show. It features three new programs which encourage viewers (referred to on the channel as "Sproutlets") to send in photos, videos, artwork, and stories. Programs and segments are introduced by the show's puppet hosts: Patty (a pig), Ricky (a rabbit), and Curtis E. Owl, whose first name and middle initial are a pun on the word "courtesy".

[edit] Original Programming

In Pic Me, head-shot photos of the children are superimposed on cartoon bodies, and these new hybrid animations are used as main characters in cartoon stories. Other segments include viewer-submitted videos, and a feature where drawings sent in by viewers are animated and made into stories themselves.
