The Sprout Sharing Show is a programming block on the Sprout cable channel. The show premiered on May 5, 2008, airing on daily afternoons (3PM-6PM EST) in the lineup formerly occupied by The Let's Go Show. However, The Let's Go Show moved to a weekend lineup (6AM-7:30AM and 9AM-11AM EST) until September 2010. It features three new programs which encourage viewers (referred to on the channel as "Sproutlets") to send in photos, videos, artwork, and stories. Programs and segments are introduced by the show's puppet hosts: Patty (a pig voiced by Kelly Vrooman), Ricky (a rabbit voiced by Kevin Yamada), and Curtis E. Owl (voiced by Brendan Gawell), whose first name and middle initial are a pun on the word "courtesy". Other characters include Patty's mother, Ricky's father and Curtis' younger brother, Otis, who plays the ukulele. It ended on May 11, 2014.

Original programming

In Pic Me, a co-production with Nickelodeon UK, head-shot photos of children are superimposed on animated bodies, and these new hybrid animations are used as main characters in animated stories. Other segments include viewer-submitted videos, and a feature where drawings sent in by viewers are animated and made into stories themselves.
