Pic Me

Pic Me is an Irish children’s television show which originally aired on RTE and later aired on TG4 and Nick Jr. channels throughout Europe. Episodes of Pic Me last for approximately five to ten minutes. Pic Me is an innovative show in that it allows its viewers to star in each episode. Every episode has one viewer's photograph superimposed on a cartoon body. These characters then roam around the story, walking, running, jumping, and physically interacting with the main cartoon characters. The viewer characters never speak, and the other characters do not refer to them by name. Instead, they are referred to as "Little Boy" or "Little Girl" as is relevant. Since the start of 2007, many new episodes of Pic Me have involved two viewers, instead of just one. These "best friends" type episodes have the main star viewer holding, or looking at, a picture of their real-life "best friend". Another episode starring the "best friend" is shown at a later date, with the situation regarding the pictures reversed. Since mid-2008, episodes of Pic Me have begun to air in the United States on PBS KIDS Sprout. Also, in the United States a Spanish-dubbed version airs on V-Me.
