"Let's get busy in the kitchen with Noodle!"
―Sean

Noodle and Doodle is an original series created by Sprout. When the show was made, it was the channel's first long form series to differentiate itself in the market.[1] The show premiered on September 25th, 2010, the same day The Sunny Side Up Show began to air every day including on weekends. It was hosted by Sunny's Sean Roach and a puppet named Noodle McNoodle, who ride on a double-decker bus and make things for children usually preparing something like a vacation or birthday party.

Noodle and Doodle continued to air on Sprout until May 14th, 2017, shortly before the launch of Universal Kids on September 9th.

Plot

"Hosted by Sean, one of the hosts of The Sunny Side Up Show, "Noodle and Doodle" showcases arts-and-crafts ideas and healthy recipes for children and their parents. The crafts and recipes are inspired by real preschoolers' experiences. Sean is assisted by his new friends -- Noodle, a lovable puppet who likes to help in the kitchen, and Doodle, a virtual friend who lives in a tablet-style device. The cooking and crafting takes place in a double-decker bus in which Sean and his helpers provide step-by-step instructions on how to make the creations. Also along for the ride is Sean's dog, Doggity."

History on Sprout

Andrew Beecham, who formerly worked at a McDonald's, grew up watching shows with a similar format, and when he moved to The United States of America, he believed there should be one just like them for preschoolers. The show was a massive success when it premiered on September 25th, 2010 (a day before Sprout's fifth anniversary) at 9:20 AM ET, and was one of Sprout's flagship properties. The show debuted within The Sunny Side Up Show and, to promote its premiere, Cooking and Crafts was the weekly theme. Shortly after, a digital podcast on iTunes was released containing clips from the show.

Noodle and Doodle initially aired every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20AM ET, later moving to 9:30 and later 9:40, and again at 11:30AM. [2] It also later aired at 3PM during The Super Sproutlet Show.

The second season premiered on November 24th, 2011, which also expanded the show to weekdays. The show's crafts and recipes were posted on SproutOnline.com and it had its own website. The show also aired on NBC Kids.

The show also got an app, "Doodle Dots," and two DVDs - Noodly Doodly Things to Make and All Aboard with Noodle and Doodle, both released by NCircle.

The show was the highest-rated on NBC Kids, gaining 862k viewers.[3]

The series survived Sprout's tenth anniversary rebranding in 2015. However, it stopped airing in May 2017, a few months before the launch of Universal Kids.
