My Week with Split-Screen Credits: Second Generation

Madeline Fretz - The second generation daytime block squeezebacks came in two forms.

In this one, the show credits would play on a frame by a tree. Hanging from a branch on that tree was a milk carton birdfeeder which would show the words "next" and "later on" and a picture of the show coming up next or later on.

In the other, the show credits would play on a yellow frame hanging from a tree, next to a ladybug on a flower. A tire swing adjacent to the frame showed the words "next" and "later on" and a picture of the show coming up next or later on.

This squeezeback practice aired during nighttime and early mornings, and supposedly took place in the Goodnight Garden. The credits would play on a blue and purple screen, a blue star would read the words "next" and "later on" and show a picture of the show next or later on, and the Sprout logo was on a full, Kix cereal-like moon.
