Sprout Refresh Squeezebacks
Split-Screen Credits are commercials or bumpers that play after shows on channels like Nickelodeon. One notable thing about Sprout is that they used split-screen credits after shows like Barney & Friends. here is a list of split-screen credits that aired on Sprout, including those that aired during programming blocks.
2005 - 2009
Main
- Regular - The credits are played on a small white television with moving buttons above the Sprout logo. There is a later on/next sign with a picture of the show coming up later on or next directly below it. A male (later female) announcer tells the Sproutlets what show is coming up later on or next.
- The credits are played above the Sprout logo on a triangle and two cars. A picture of the show coming up later on or next is below a street sign and a stoplight.
- Sprout Diner March Menu - The same as the normal closing, but this time with the Sprout Diner behind it and Alfalfa talks to the Sproutlets in voiceover.
- The Good Night Show - The credits are played on the same screen as the regular variant, but below it is a bird's nest. Melanie, Nina, or Star talks to the Sproutlets. When Melanie was the host, there was an orange lollipop next to the Sprout logo, but starting in A Very Special Good Night, two blue birds in a nest were featured instead, though the lollipop was still seen on occasions.
