Jack's Big Music Show

I am in my 30's, but I am not embarrassed to admit that I really enjoy watching the occasional "children's show". (Especially now that I am a proud aunt of a very smart toddler) Jack's Big Music Show is one of the best children's shows I have seen!! It is very entertaining and the music is great. I love how it mixes segments of music videos into the show.(Some of the songs stay with you for days! I haven't been able to get "Under a Shady Tree" out of my head for a week now ... but that isn't such a bad thing!) I also really enjoy some of the characters that I have seen so far on the show. Like the LITTLE Bad Wolf (BIG Bad's baby brother) and who can not smile over the Schwartzman Cortet!!

Hardcore children's show fans may recognize the voices. The voice of Jack is also the voice of Baby Bear on Sesame Street and Mary was the voice of Julie and Sizzle the Cat on Puzzle Place. (I had to come on to IMDb to find that out because it was driving me crazy! The voices were so familiar!!) If you are a Muppet Fan and a music lover, you just might enjoy this show ... no matter how old you are. BUT I Guarantee THE CHILDREN WILL LOVE IT!!!

I am editing this comment because since I have submitted it, I have read some things about this show that I want to address:

Although I made the comment that adults will love this show, we have to remember that THIS SHOW IS INTENDED FOR PRESCHOOLERS. I have read comments that go as far as complaining about the music on the show saying, "The music is frenetic and emphasizes rhythm over tune and lyricism" ... Does this person even KNOW a preschooler??!! When is the last time you heard your 3 year old comment about a song's lyrics? (Unbelievable!)

My opinion is my opinion and I can't convince anyone to like something they don't - but it is just not fair to compare a show for children to that of adults. But I happen to know that I am not the ONLY adult who feels like a good children's show is worth it's weight in gold ...

This show is really good!!

My daughter just turned one back on June 7, 2006. Jack's Big Music Show has been her all time favorite TV show for at least half her life. She sits in front of the vibrantly colored set and "cast" and is just taken in by it. She can watch episode after episode (even back to back) and not get bored with it. We can't say that for many other TV programs for her age bracket. The music is wonderful, the screenplays are adorable and Jack, Mary, Mel and Earl the Squirrel are just the best. If you have a Tivo, and a child that is six-months-old or above, this program will be perfect for them. We have it on Direct TV on Noggin and can't live without it. I say that it's entertaining for six-month and above, and i mean it. My Son, wife, myself and even some friends can sit in front of this show and thoroughly enjoy it. It's that good. Please take a moment to enjoy this show with your child. You will not be disappointed.

The best kids program on TV! A must see for anyone who wants their child to love great music. Laurie Berkner, the cornerstone musican on the show, is talented and diverse in the spectrum of children's indie rock tunes. In one episode the legendary guitarist Buddy Guy appears as the "King of Swing", whom Jack gets a special visit from because he finds a "golden ticket" in his new "King of Swing" CD. Other children's music notables such as Milkshake, Music for Aardvarks & Other Mammals, and Rebecca Frezza have fun music videos that provide some engaging eye candy to dance around a room to. With at least two music videos per episode and a number if other original songs preformed by the Muppet cast it has an exciting pace and will get even the most apatetic indivigual moving! So watch it and get moving! The best part is as a parent you will love it too!! Exciting, fun, and Joyous entertainment filled with some of the best music on TV. Jack, Mel and Mary are adorable characters that inspire the best in young children and their parents. A rare find in a sea of flat uninspiring children's programing that is flooding the air waves.

I just watched this with my 3 year old daughter and could have closed my eyes and seen Grover, Prairie Dawn, Baby Bear and all those lovable characters. A show consisting of 3 puppets, and special guests. They have music videos throughout the show with child friendly performers and other children dancing around. Jack has a club house in his backyard and invites the viewers and his friends to come over for musical fun. They have guests like the Schwartzman Quartet, baby Wolf (from the big bad wolf family), and many others. They discuss different musical instruments and generally engage children through music. I like this show and am convinced that Mary is the same puppeteer who plays Praire Dawn on Sesame Street. Enjoy the show!

My grandson watches this show every day...he is enthralled by it... you can barely get his attention when it on and he's only 18 months old..the humor is great for the adults watching with their kids (or grand kids... as it were)...the music is great too...such a wide variety is hardly ever seen on kids t.v. ...my grandson mimics the clapping and singing...even the animal noises on the "Mel thinks he's a cat" episode...which happens to be one of MY favorites...this show is one the whole family can enjoy...over and over ...as it is in my house...we can't wait for the new episodes to arrive...bravo to the creators of this show and please put it out on video soon!!!!!!!!!
