'''''The Goodnight Show''''' is a TV show that plays between other shows on Sprout (now known as Universal Kids) that aired between 2005-2017 with the first episode airing September 26th, 2005, and ended when Sprout switched to Universal Kids in 2017. The hosts were Nina and Star from 2006-2017, with previous hosts Melanie and Leo from 2005-2006.
'''''The Good Night Show''''' is a children's television block, with segments that aired in a blockisode format between other shows on Sprout (now known as Universal Kids) starting on September 26th, 2005, with Michele Lepe "Nina" becoming the final, permanent host on December 18th, 2006 until the show was gradually cancelled between late 2016 to early 2017, shortly before the switch to Universal Kids.


==Premise==
This page covers the seasons hosted by Nina (seasons 3+). For the earlier seasons hosted by Melanie/Leo, see ''The Good Night Show with Melanie/Leo''.
''The Good Night Show'' features a variety of segments. Some of the segments were removed in 2012 for unknown reasons.


The first segment involves a different form of constellations as Nina and Star look at the sky with their telescope, and will usually have nighttime birthday remainders from ''The Sunny Side up Show''. The second segment features an animated game titled Lucy, Light the Way!, where Lucy, a firefly puppet, (who introduces the shows that come between the block), will light up and viewers need to guess where Lucy is.
==History==
The third segment involves a different craft based on the day’s theme. The crafts were removed in 2012, and were replaced by the Sandy Story segment, where Nina would tell a story and draw the pictures in the sand. The fourth segment involves Nina and Star to spin a moonbeam wheel, play a goodnight game, and translate a word in Spanish.
In September 2005, between a joint venture with Comcast, NBCUniversal, PBS, and HiT Entertainment/Sesame Workshop, PBS Kids Sprout first launched on Comcast (later on other cable & satellite providers) & The Good Night Show premiered on the same day.


The quarter-final segment deals with cleaning up, where Nina and Star put up a musical number to sing. The final segment involves Nina to encourage viewers to give their wishes to Hush, their pet goldfish, with a poem and the goodnight song, Before or after that, Sprout friends sleeping to the iconic Pajanimals song ''La-La-Lullaby''. The Pajanimals song was removed in 2016.
*Season 3 of the show Premiered on December 18th, 2006 and brought back many elements of the show that were previously suspended during the Noel Macneal season like Crafts, Yoga Stretches & Moonbeam Wheel, carried over a relatively new segment where the host asks a question and sproutlets provide answers based on the night's theme and introduced another variation of the storytime segment.
*Season 4 of the show saw some changes like bringing back Sproutlets to do Yoga Stretches alongside Nina, a new game called Lucy Light The Way was introduced and instead of a book Nina & Star do improv storytelling by using the craft they created in the previous segment.
*Season 5 however removed the Storytime segment (replacing it with Nina's Little Fables), shortened the Sign Language segment, and had a lot more repetition by doing the birthdays, gallery and Sproutlets q&a segments twice.
*Season 6, premiering on November 7th, 2011, saw a major overhaul to the show, switching from the Goodnight Garden to The You & Me Tree setting where Nina & Star would hang out in the treehouse every night, A part of the show where Nina would ask a question & sproutlets provide answers were revamped into an entire segment called "Star talks to kids" where star has a conversation with several sproutlets about the night's theme, Craft & Goodnight Gallery segments were permanently dropped, a new storytime segment was introduced called "Sandy Stories" where Nina tells & writes pictures of the story in sand while Star provides commentary, the Moonbeam Wheel had pictures of various games on the wheel itself instead of Flashcards, and a new, original clean up song was created to play near the end of every episode that encouraged the sproutlets at home to tidy up their rooms before bedtime.<ref>[https://nexttv.com/news/poppy-cat-series-sidles-sprouts-good-night-show-361338 NextTV Article discussing some aspects of Season 6 of The Good Night Show.] Retrieved 21 Apr '22</ref>  Season 6B started airing on September 27th, 2012 were not much changed except for Nina's Pajamas & another new variation of the Star Puppet.

*A few segments that would have aired in the TV version like birthday reminders and the goodnight gallery were intentionally removed for various reasons, and if any episodes were officially digitally released in the future, they would not include those segments. Still, the Goodnight Game segment that is part of every episode is missing from DVD & Digital re-releases for unknown reasons.

3rd host Nina and Star.

Status: Partially Found

The Good Night Show is a children's television block, with segments that aired in a blockisode format between other shows on Sprout (now known as Universal Kids) starting on September 26th, 2005, with Michele Lepe "Nina" becoming the final, permanent host on December 18th, 2006 until the show was gradually cancelled between late 2016 to early 2017, shortly before the switch to Universal Kids.

This page covers the seasons hosted by Nina (seasons 3+). For the earlier seasons hosted by Melanie/Leo, see The Good Night Show with Melanie/Leo.

History

In September 2005, between a joint venture with Comcast, NBCUniversal, PBS, and HiT Entertainment/Sesame Workshop, PBS Kids Sprout first launched on Comcast (later on other cable & satellite providers) & The Good Night Show premiered on the same day.

  • Season 3 of the show Premiered on December 18th, 2006 and brought back many elements of the show that were previously suspended during the Noel Macneal season like Crafts, Yoga Stretches & Moonbeam Wheel, carried over a relatively new segment where the host asks a question and sproutlets provide answers based on the night's theme and introduced another variation of the storytime segment.
  • Season 4 of the show saw some changes like bringing back Sproutlets to do Yoga Stretches alongside Nina, a new game called Lucy Light The Way was introduced and instead of a book Nina & Star do improv storytelling by using the craft they created in the previous segment.
  • Season 5 however removed the Storytime segment (replacing it with Nina's Little Fables), shortened the Sign Language segment, and had a lot more repetition by doing the birthdays, gallery and Sproutlets q&a segments twice.
  • Season 6, premiering on November 7th, 2011, saw a major overhaul to the show, switching from the Goodnight Garden to The You & Me Tree setting where Nina & Star would hang out in the treehouse every night, A part of the show where Nina would ask a question & sproutlets provide answers were revamped into an entire segment called "Star talks to kids" where star has a conversation with several sproutlets about the night's theme, Craft & Goodnight Gallery segments were permanently dropped, a new storytime segment was introduced called "Sandy Stories" where Nina tells & writes pictures of the story in sand while Star provides commentary, the Moonbeam Wheel had pictures of various games on the wheel itself instead of Flashcards, and a new, original clean up song was created to play near the end of every episode that encouraged the sproutlets at home to tidy up their rooms before bedtime.[1] Season 6B started airing on September 27th, 2012 were not much changed except for Nina's Pajamas & another new variation of the Star Puppet.
  • Season 7, which premiered on July 27th, 2015 during the Nina's World era, and the final season of GNS, also saw some changes to the show, with one of the biggest being that a new element the "Best Day Ever Book" was introduced which contains Nina's childhood memories and used as a plot device for certain parts of every episode with various games & activities. [2] the Moonbeam Wheel segment was completely dropped, and Esai Morales (Best Known for playing as Lt. Tony Rodriguez on ABC's NYPD Blue, Camino del Rio on Netflix's Ozark, and President Julian in HBO's The Brink) played the role of Nina's Uncle "Tio Javier" in several Good Night Show episodes & in the prequel series Nina's World.[3] Although since almost all of S7 is currently lost, we currently don't know what episodes he appeared in & what the format is like for each episode.


Periodicity, they would also do live episodes like The 2011 Halloween episode “A Sweet Goodnight Treat”, The 2009 Mothers Day episode or the 2014 Space Episode when Astroblast first premiered, usually taking place at The Sunshine Barn.

Premise

The Good Night Show features a variety of segments. Some of the segments were removed or modified in the later seasons for various reasons.

Season 4:

  • Nina & Star introduce themselves to the audience, sing a short song, start talking about the topic and learn a word in Spanish
  • Nina & Star discuss a little more about the night’s topic, make up a short poem, then sing Twinkle Twinkle during the Sprout-O-Scope segment
  • Nina & Star Making a Craft, usually revolving around the topic of the episode
  • Nina & Star Once A Sprout A Time (Storytime Segment)
  • Nina asking a question related around the topic, and hearing the Sproutlets response
  • Nina & Star Play a Goodnight Game by spinning the moonbeam wheel

Cast

  • Nina, played by Michele Lepe, debuted as the permanent host on December 18th, 2006. and was the most popular host with audiences; she did crafts, translated words into Spanish, did ASL sign language, narrated and drew pictures in the sandy story segments, etc. and guest-hosted The Sunny Side Up Show several times.
  • Star, a star-shaped puppet, Voiced & Played by Stacia Newcomb, was the show's co-host. Star served as the child character of the show, asking questions about the evening's theme, commenting to Nina about the segment (such as the Goodnight Game), & encouraging viewers to follow him as he performed nighttime routines such as brushing his teeth or reading a bedtime story. Star debuted shortly before the departure of the program's original host, "Melanie." His puppet was changed several times & appears as a character in the prequel animated series Nina's World, living with Nina, even though Star began with the two former hosts before her.
  • Lucy The Firefly, who was originally a firefly puppet in seasons 2-5, updated once in Mid-2009, then completely animated in Seasons 6 and 7, used to introduce show segments, featured in such as "Lucy Light the Way"; in this game, viewers were shown parts of a picture (as though they were illuminated by a firefly's light) and then guessed what the picture represented, In Seasons 6/7 She was also used in the "Sprout-o-Scope" segments to help Nina & Star find constellations in the night time sky, She also appears as a character in the prequel Nina's World, living with Nina, even though she was introduced alongside Leo before Nina arrived.
  • Hush was a real-life goldfish who was originally used to introduce shows with the original host, but quickly went from a main character to a minor character who would mainly appear at the ending segments of every episode just before & after star goes to sleep with Nina closing the show by saying goodnight and reciting a poem in which viewers were encouraged to "make a wish." He also appeared in the prequel animated series Nina's World living with Nina as a child even though Hush also began with the two former hosts.
  • Nina's Friends and Sproutlets, On The Good Night Show, Melanie or Nina would teach the viewers a Sprout stretch, often based on a show in the fourth season. In 2007, Nina's Sproutlet friends were added to the segments. Originally, the girls wore purple pajamas with stars and the boys wore blue pajamas with moons, but then they wore blue and pink pajamas with either Star on the moon or white and yellow sparks. While still technically counting as stretches, Nina often did poses in the third season. Some of the Nina's Friends and Sproutlets include: Christopher Convery, Jaden Betts, Delaney Jones, Madalynn LeClair, Kamiah Johnson, Giovanni Aponte, Christina Sims, Scout Latshaw, Asa White, William Sum, Deysha Nel, Grace Kelly, and Jeremiah Jackson White.

  • A few segments that would have aired in the TV version like birthday reminders and the goodnight gallery were intentionally removed for various reasons, and if any episodes were officially digitally released in the future, they would not include those segments. Still, the Goodnight Game segment that is part of every episode is missing from DVD & Digital re-releases for unknown reasons.
