My Week with Split-Screen Credits: Gen1 Blocks

 

Madeline Fretz - I talked about the split-screen credits of The Good Night Show in a previous post, but I'm going to talk about them again today along with the other programming blocks squeezebacks that aired during the first generation.

The Good Night Show squeezebacks were a bit similar to the regular squeezabacks, but the lollipop was replaced by a bird's nest as time went by.

The split-screen credits played on the set of The Sunny Side Up Show, on the pink toaster-like screen. With the set renovation in 2009, the credits played on the purple screen. During split-screen credits, the hosts would usually read viewers' messages.

On The Sprout Sharing Show, the credits would play on an easel while Patty would talk to the viewers, generally assisted by other characters.

On The Let's Go Show, the credits would play on an overhead screen between trees, while Miles and Banjo would watch the end of shows while driving Carla the Car. To me, this seemed like a throwback to the old "drive-in movie" thing.

...And this was the squeezeback used during Sprout Diner March Menu. Slightly resembled the regular squeezebacks, except with healthy food instead of lollipops.
