Watch Jack's Big Music Show Online - Full Episodes

Jack's Big Music Show is a children's program that airs on Nick Jr. Created by Spiffy Productions, Jack's Big Music show features a puppet named Jack, who gathers each day in his backyard clubhouse to play music with his best friend, Mary and his dog, Mel.

Each day brings new visitors to the clubhouse, usually with some sort of problem that the friends solve through music. For instance, when Sheldon the grumpy squirrel comes and steals the friends' instruments, Jack, Mary and Mel figure out the reason Sheldon is so grumpy is because he is sleepy. They sing him a lullaby and after a nap, he happily returns their instruments.

Each episode also features two music videos, one by the popular Laurie Berkner Band, and the other by various artists from the kids' music genre. The songs that are featured in the videos are somehow related to the theme of the episode. Artists whose videos have been played on Jack's Big Music show include The Dirty Sock Funtime Band, Milkshake, Music for Aardvarks and Other Mammals and Hot Peas 'n Butter.

The visitors to Jack's clubhouse are an eclectic mix of puppets and live guests. Some folks that have appeared on the show include Buddy Guy, Yolanda Adams, Jon Stewart and Cathy Richardson. Richardson is also the voice of Jack's mother, who is heard at the beginning and end of every episode.

According to David Rudman, the voice of Jack and one of the Spiffy producers, Jack's Big Music Show was influenced by The Jack Benny Show, hence the names Jack, Mary and Mel. There is also the Schwartzmen Quartet, a play on Benny's The Sportsmen Quartet.

In 2008, Jack's Big Music Show was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding preschool television series. Though the last new episode was filmed in 2007, the show still airs in reruns on the Nick Jr. channel.
