The Good Night Show: Goodnight Stories

This was an amazing show! My son and I used to watch this show almost every night before he went to bed. He was born 2010 and we started watching Sprout around 2012 when we discovered the Good Night Show. We both fell in love with three show and it became apart of our nightly routine. He grew out of the show over the years as he got older and we slowly stopped watching Sprout. Well, I had my second son in 2018 and I couldn't wait to watch Sprout and the good night show with him. I was so sad to find out that not only was the show done but the entire network was gone!! I was desperate to relive some of those memories with my new son and I came across this dvd and bought it immediately. The nostalgia that hit me when I watched this dvd was so strong it almost made me cry. Anyway, this was a great find, i only wish there were more dvds to purchase as this only has 3 blocks.

I am SO THRILLED to find this, that I'm giving it five stars despite the fact that the dvd lacks a menu! I so wish Universal Kids would make all of these available digitally. There are only three episodes on this dvd, and we need more!! Nina and Star are favorites in our house; the Goodnight Show is a sweet and gentle way to wind down the day. My kids (even the older ones) love to sign along with the sign language, get up for the yoga-inspired Sprout stretches, and sing the clean up song as they tidy up the room. For anyone else who loves - and misses - this show as much as we do, the actress who plays Nina has a YouTube channel where she reads stories. Her name is Michele Lepe (and I think that's the name of her channel).

Great video for night time for my 1.5 year old. It helps entertain him without stimulating him to sray awoke. He eventually drifts off asleep after a while of watching this video (not because it is boring, as it is actually entertaining) as it is soothing. Even I find the video soothing to watch. The great thing about this video is that the play time is like 1 hour + of episodes and it repeats playing the entire dvd from the beginning automatically at the end of the video. So if I drift off asleep before my child and they somehow are still awoke (this happens occasionally if he napped too long during the day) than I don't have to worry that the video stopped and my child being bored. Great benefit. I wish there were more children's dvds like this.

My 3 year old missed Nina and Star so much. We found this DVD and when I put it in she ran for the tv. She watched the entire DVD with a smile and didn't move once. The poor kid started to tear up when it was over. She has autism and Nina and Star were such a big part of our night time routine. We sung the songs and practiced sign language together. She remembered it instantly. We are both so happy to have aninw and Star back. We also listen to "Nina's" YouTube books often. We also bought Star so she has a cuddle buddy while watching her favorite show.

(For those who know about The Good Night Show, feel free to skip to the 3rd paragraph).This disc from Ncircle Entertainment is quite an interesting addition to its lineup. To explain WHY it's interesting--well, you might need a little background.The Goodnight Show (GNS) is the evening offering on Sprout, a 24-hour cable network for preschoolers. Its name is a bit of a misnomer though, because it's not technically a SHOW, but rather a block of programming--much like Disney Junior is a block on the Disney Channel. Sprout, however, does something decidedly different with this and other blocks it has, such as The Sunny Side Up Show for mornings, in that the segments between the shows actually have a continuing PLOT, if a loose one. In GNS's case, the block is hosted by a woman named Nina and her puppet pal Star, who live in an elaborate treehouse called the You and Me Tree, and spend their evenings discussing different things, such as camping, circuses, or the Spanish language. In between episodes of various Sprout shows, Nina and Star do various activities related to the theme, which include yoga exercises, stargazing connect the dots games, and bedtime stories told through sand art. It was Sprout's first block, and is arguably one of its most famous.This DVD is a collection of 3 GNS "stories"--which translated means 3 collections of the Nina and Star segments of GNS blocks, with the themes of birthdays, shadows, and gift-giving. On the surface, this seems like a cash grab on Sprout's part, but if you are a fan of GNS, of course, you can now visit Nina and Star 24/7 and even take the show with you on trips when you're away from your cable. More importantly, for people who may be investigating Sprout, this is a GREAT--and very cheap-way to do it. As a bonus, the Sunny Side Up Show characters of Chica, Carly, and Dennisha make appearances after the Sprout-a-scope stargazing segment of each "episode."There are two slight cons with the disc. One for GNS fans is that the Goodnight Game segment of each block did NOT make the cut on this DVD, most likely to ensure enough space for 3 episodes. The other, at least for me, is that being an Ncircle DVD, the disc has no menu at all, not even an episode selection. For parents of preschoolers though, this could very well be a pro--just put it in, and off ya go. :)So, for Sprout parents--yes, after YEARS of asking, GNS has FINALLY made its way to DVD; in abbreviated form, of course, but it's there. For those who've heard of Sprout and want to check out how it works, this is $7 well spent.

I watched " Nina and Star " and " The Goodnight Show " on the " Sprout Channel right after my daughter was born in 2011 and we watched this religiously every night as a family before bed . It was so amazing to be able to find this again and relive these beautiful memories!!! Thank you !!!

My oldest being 10 we wanted to do sprout with our 3 and 2yr old. So this DVD is part of their everynight routine. We miss watching sprout so much! Have not watched the channel since it changed.

Miss the sunny side up and goodnight show! My 5 year old loves this show. I play it and then we watch shows that relate to that night theme like they did on sprout :)

My 2 1/2 year old granddaughter really enjoys these stories. A nice way to wind down at the end of the day.
