Happy Halloween, Sproutlets!

 

Hope it's a spooky one. It's also the tenth anniversary of the above picture, which I (SURPRISE!) remember watching in its initial broadcast.

My Week with Halloween

 The scariest day of the year is tomorrow - Halloween. That's right - that's the day where you dress up in fun costumes and eat candy. As part of the My Week series, I focused on Sprout Halloween happenings for an entire week.

My Week with Halloween: A Sweet Goodnight Treat

 

From 2008 to 2011, Sprout aired a special Halloween broadcast of The Good Night Show called A Sweet Goodnight Treat, in which Nina and Star would play dress up games and show viewers' Halloween costumes in addition to doing activities they normally do. From what I have heard, the set was painted orange for these broadcasts.

In 2011, the special was live, so it had to take place on The Sunny Side Up Show set due to the one from The Good Night Show either being non-existent or impractical for live airings. Chica tagged along. In fact, I remember watching the one and only broadcast of this special in 2011.

My Week with Halloween: Spooktacular

 

In 2006 and 2007, Sprout held Sprout's Halloween Spooktacular, which consisted of Halloween-themed programming and hosted segments from programming blocks. In addition, The Good Night Show would show viewers' costumes. In 2007, a Chica costume contest was held.

My Week with Halloween: Tricks, Clicks, and Treats

 

In 2013, Sprout hosted Tricks, Clicks, and Treats. This stunt consisted of Halloween-themed programming of shows like The Chica Show, new games such as My Little Sproutlet, and the popular annual Costume Parade.

In addition, singer Justin Roberts appeared on The Sunny Side Up Show and sang his song "The Princess Wore Pink" to Sean and Chica.

My Week with Halloween: Knock-Knock, Who's There?

 I'm! I'm who? I'm here to tell you about something Sprout did in 2016. Ha!

Sprout's Knock Knock Joke Halloween was a series of animated interstitials that aired on Sprout in 2016, written and directed by Marc Cantone and animated by Aaron Stewart.

BONUS! Sprout's Dream Halloween Costume, from the same year, had animated kids explaining their dream Halloween costumes. They were also written and produced by Cantone.

My Week with Halloween: The Song

 This song, "What Will You Be This Halloween?," was written by Sprout's resident Tim Burns and available on his SoundCloud. The song debuted on Sproutonline.com in 2008 on the Music section of The Sprout Sharing Show website. Here are the lyrics:

Will you be cute? Will you be spooky?

Will you be beautiful or kooky?

Will you be Blue, Red, Purple, Pink, or Green?

What Will You Be This Halloween?

When you hit the street in search of candy to eat,

Will all the little Sproutlets shout "Trick or Treat?"

Will you be something that the world has never seen?

What Will You Be? What Will You Be?

What Will You Be This Halloween?

BOO!
