Jack's Big Music Show

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.

As a child, I eagerly anticipated watching Jack's Big Music Show every week. This show was unlike any other I had seen before, as it introduced me to various genres of music and different musical instruments. The characters, Jack, Mary, and Mel, were all unique and entertaining. Jack, the host, had a vibrant personality that made the show exciting to watch. Mary, the puppet, brought charm to the show with her quirky antics, while Mel, the drummer, added a cool edge to the whole experience.

However, as I grew older and rewatched the show, I realized the plotlines were simplistic and predictable. Jack and his friends often solved problems through music by centering their stories around it. While this was enjoyable to watch as a child, it needed more depth and substance for an adult viewer.

Moreover, some of the songs and performances felt forced and cheesy. The show had a formula that followed every episode, which sometimes made the performances feel repetitive. While the show did a great job of introducing kids to various musical instruments and genres, it could have delved deeper into the nuances of each genre to make it more educational and exciting.

I rate this Nick Jr. Show a 6 out of 10. While it was an excellent show for kids, it lacked the depth and substance to keep an adult viewer engaged. Nonetheless, I will always cherish the memories of watching this show as a child, and it will always have a special place in my heart.

My son is 16 mo. and loves Jack's Big Music Show. The characters are funny, and the music is great. There are many special guests including Buddy Guy. After about the 100th time we know all the quirky things to say along with the show especially the Schwartsman Quartet. "Mel the dog just says ....." It's wholesome and somewhat educational. The songs are about counting, self esteem, music appreciation, etc. And jack And marry model social skills such as politeness and sharing. Even though it is kids music you'll find yourself singing the songs to yourself in the car. I only wish there were more products such as DVDs and CDs to buy. Some clothes would be cool too.

Jack's Big Music Show just started on Noggin. It is a lot of musical fun for the kids. The characters have a very Muppet-style feeling, the kind that seem a bit smarter than average 'toons or puppets, enjoyable for both kids and grownups. Jack, his friend Mary and Jack's dog Mel get together in their musical clubhouse and play instruments and sing together. The show is apparently going to have guest musicians, and each show has a music video from the Laurie Berkner group. My 6 year old was looking forward to the show after seeing the preview spots on Noggin, and was happy with it. I think it should be a good fun-type family show that helps kids explore music and learn about different instruments and styles.

Jack's Big Music Show is the greatest! I have 2 nieces (2y/o & 1y/o), and since the eldest was born, Noggin has been the child-friendly programming of choice in their house. JBMS was a hit the first time the girls saw it. The puppets always play very nicely together which has taught the babies how to share; as well as how much fun it is to play with another child, which is great for young siblings. With kid friendly music videos that range from clever to super-silly, the girls love to dance and sing with the children on the TV. JBMS is also great for adults because there is enough of a variety to the music to prevent it from becoming tedious (like other children's programming.) We love the Schwartzman Quartet and they girls always ask for Jack, Mary, and Mel.
