About a month ago I blogged about Madame's favorite show, Jack's Big Music Show on Noggin, and that post has generated the most comments I've had so far on this blog. People love the show, and with good reason, it rules. Anyway, I thought I'd try to give out some more links to stuff related to the show. LET'S ROCK THIS CLUBHOUSE!
- Check out the JBMS episode guide on the new TV for Tots blog. It seems like we're always watching the same episodes, but I guess there are a few I haven't seen yet (though don't get me wrong, I'm always up for some Bongo Bird). Check out the rest of Bill's site too - a good idea for a blog if you ask me.
- Here's the Laurie Berkner official site and the Laurie Berkner Band Fan Club site. And best of all (for me at least) is a message board of guitar tabs (sheet music) of Laurie Berkner songs. I'd love guitar tabs for the songs they play in the clubhouse, but I can start with this at least.
- Here are the official sites of some of the other artists featured on JBMS. The Dirty Sock Funtime Band, Music for Aardvarks, and Rebecca Frezza.
- The JBMS page on Internet Movie Database and of course, the official JBMS page on Noggin.com and Jack's Clubhouse.

Jack's Big Music Show (09-29-2005)
Holiday gifts. Kids. Jack's Big Music Show. (12-01-2005)
Jack's Big Music Show has become a favorite in my household. I babysit 3 boys under the age of 4 and we all look forward to seeing what Jack, Mary, and Mel (Love Mel!) are up to. My favorite episode was their super swell dance party.....YIPPPPEEEE!

My sons, ages 4 1/2 and 11 months absolutely love Jacks' Big Music Show. Does anyone know if they are going to put the episodes out on DVD? I would love to get them for the kids.
Thanks!!!

Going through trial and tribulation, I reached Spiffy Pictures office and got the scoop: one new episode is coming on February 6, another new one will come in April, and then their next season of 13 episodes will come in the fall. As far as marketing of dolls, etc., that will be before next Christmas.

I just recently discovered Jack, Mary & Mel. They are great and my 8 mo. old absolutely loves it! It's so much better than Barney, the Teletubbies, and the Wiggles. (I just can't watch those.) Sometimes I think we like it better than our daughter. Cathy Richardson and The Dirty Sock Funtime Bands are not only our favorites, but our daughters too. She just lights up and dances (rocks back and forth) the whole time the show is on. I guess I'll have to go old school and dust off the VCR if I want to be able to put it on whenever. (Although, Comcast on Demand is great). I keep sending emails to Noggin telling them they need to sell DVD's and toys. I think everyone should start flooding them with emails about it. Long live Jack, Mary & Mel! YIPPPPEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a 6 month old and her favorite show is Jack's Big Music Show and I do have to say that this is the best kids show EVER. I love the music and the characters are great.
Such a diverse group of music is played which is not only entertaining to a 6 month old but a 35 year old dad.

went looking yesterday for the tv show Jacks Big Music Show on dvd at babies-r-us. I have a 9 month old girl that is her absolute favorite show. All I could find was a Laurie B dvd. So Does anyone know if you can buy it yet???

OK, I have good, reliable info for all of you. #1 - me, my husband, and our 14-month old son are huge fans. We have all of the episodes TIVO'd and I LOVE Bongo Bird!!!! #2 - my dad is on the production crew of JBMS and that is how we discovered the show when my son was itty-bitty. My "source" (dad!) told me that they are striking a deal with one of the big-box giants (I don't know if it's ok for me to say the name of the place...??) and that they will have videos, music, toys, dolls, & the whole marketing caboodle. I think they are working on the line right now. My dad has told me that I (meaning you, too) will not be able to find any of the JBMS stuff online or anywhere else until it is available at this store. Also of interest is that they are shooting new episodes right now - they started a few weeks ago and crank one out every few days or so. I got to go to the set one day and it was waaaay cool to see Jack, Mary, and Mel "in person." They were rehearsing and setting up the scenes, but it was still cool. I can't wait for the new ones to come out. Hope this helps all of you other JBMS fans!! ~Jennifer

I sent an email to Spiffy and just heard back from them. Here is their reply to my inquiry on new episodes and toys:
"Thanks for your letter.
Unfortunately, we don't have any "Jack" merchandise for sale at this time.
Hopefully, by the end of next year there will be stuff in stores to buy,
including DVD's, CD's and toys. It's coming, but no definite word.
Writing directly to Nickelodeon and Noggin might help speed up the
process. We agree, we think Jack, Mary, and Mel would make super swell
holiday gifts!
This summer, we started shooting 13 new episodes of Jack's Big Show. They
won't be put into rotation at Noggin until January 2007. We think it's a
long time to continue watching the original 13, but it's also going to be
a great 13 episodes, when they do start. New songs, new dances, new
friends!"
Best Wishes,
Spiffy Pictures

2) 13 New Episodes to start airing on Noggin in January, 2007
3) "Do you want "Jack's Big Music Show" to come to a clubhouse near you? If
