Around-the-clock preschool network PBS KIDS Sprout is its augmenting its line-up with a new afternoon block titled The Let’s Go Show. Starting Monday, June 25, young viewers and their caregivers will be able to tune in every afternoon from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. (ET) to catch episodes of Bob the Builder, Angelina Ballerina, Jim Henson’s The Hoobs and other Sprout favorites as the block’s hosts encourage kids to ask questions, be curious about the world around them and participate in a daily musical adventure.
The Let’s Go Show is hosted by Miles (played by actor Milton Barnes) and his puppy friend Banjo (voiced and puppeteered Ali Eisner), who loves to play her homemade banjo. Each day, they will hop in their cardboard car, Carla, and embark on a musical journey of discovery. Among other things, kids will learn how to create age-appropriate science experiments at Wonder Why Valley, become “Sprout Scouts” by helping Miles and Banjo find their way to each location by asking questions, and discover all the things they can make and do at home with their parents and caregivers.
Questions will be posed on-air during each show and viewers will be encouraged to try to figure out the answers at home or by visiting SproutOnline.com to find out more. The Association of Children’s Museums (ACM), a professional service organization representing more than 350 children’s museums around the world, worked with member museums to provide child-friendly and scientifically accurate explanations on SproutOnline.com for all the experiments featured on season one of The Let’s Go Show.
