Am I Missing Something?
Matrixiole
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

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.

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.

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!!

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.
