Extreme Makeover: The Good Night Show edition

 

Madeline Fretz - The Good Night Show sure has changed over its eleven years of broadcast. Let's take a look at what changed over the years:

In the Leo days, a lot changed since Melanie Martinez got fired. He had a different welcome and goodnight song.

When Nina was introduced on December 18th, 2006, the Martinez welcome and goodnight songs came back, but there were also some changes made. The blue chair was now replaced by a blue crescent moon-shaped couch, even though the chair would have a presence in the Sprout floor of Philadelphia's Comcast Center (the original couch would also be in its spot a few years later). A new craft song was introduced, replacing the one Martinez sang. Crafts were dropped in 2011.

Season 4 was introduced on September 26th, 2007. This new season introduced Lucy Light the Way and inducted kids into segments such as stretches, sign language, and a new interview segment. Star would ask kids questions starting in 2011.

In 2011, not only were there new shows and the two changes I mentioned above, but the You and Me Tree was introduced, as well as Sprout a Sandy Story and the Clean Up Song. Nina also got new pairs of pajamas.

In 2015, with the introduction of Nina's World, Nina's dad(?) was introduced and in a new segment, Nina would tell childhood stories to Star in her Best Day Ever book. The blankets on the ground in the hills of Sprout were removed (see picture above).

For more changes, see here. Not only did PBS Kids Sprout launch as a channel sixteen years ago today, but The Good Night Show premiered at 6PM ET that night. This is my last post for tonight, as today I've done many posts for Sprout's sixteenth anniversary.
