Anything Jack's Big Music Show get's a 5 star rating in my book. My issue with this product is it is claiming to be "season 1" however when you receive the dvd it is only 4 episodes, 1 of which was just released in 2007. Episodes actually on the DVD are Ground Hog Day, Little Bad Wolf, Jack & the Bean Stock & How Mel Got His Groove Back.

Season 1 actually consists of the following episodes:
Little Bad Wolf
How Mel Got His Groove Back
The Music Genie
The Bongo Bird Laurie Berkner
Marching Band
Bug Love
Mel's Super Swell Dance Party
Space Opera
Grow Daddio
The Grumpy Squirrel Laurie Berkner
King of Swing
Milkshake
Silly Show

Seasion 2 episodes:
Snow Day
Leonard the Country Squirrel
Spunky the Alien
Jack Bunny
Phil the Coo-Coo Bird
Jack's Big Oops!
Jack's Big Orchestra
Scat Cat
Groundhog Day
Super Swell Sing-Along
Comic Book Heroes
Mel's Bath Day
Jack and the Beanstalk

We also have all these shows from the first two seasons on our DVR and had emailed the company long ago when we were waiting for the second season. I can't believe they're finally releasing this show on DVD but they're only putting 4 episodes on one DVD. Why not the whole first season? I'd pay more and have all of it because $15 for four short episodes is too much. And I don't think they're even the best episodes. The groundhog one was one of the weaker shows, we thought. The only reason to buy this would be to get the Jack and the Beanstalk episode, and I'm not sure that's worth the price. We're really disappointed that they're releasing this great show in bits and pieces.

My 2 year old loves Jack. When I saw this dvd I was so excited because now she can be on the go and take this along. I have all the episodes Tivo'd but this is nice. I agree with the other reviewers that 4 episodes were not enough, but they will probably release several discs. I don't care for Groundhog Day either, but the other episodes are great.

Thank you Jack's Big Music Show! This show entertained our youngest daughter from the first moment she watched it when she was about 6 months old. Not only that, but my older daughter loves it just as much and she was 5. I have to admit that my Husband and I love the songs as much as our kids and sing them quite often...especially the Laurie Berkner songs and The Dirty Socks Funtime Band songs. We have been waiting for this to come out on DVD for a long time now. I'm so glad it will be out soon for us to buy and we can finally free up some space on our Tivo....there was no way we were going to delete these without a DVD backup. Btw, the first season of this show had such great reviews and had parents begging them for more that they couldn't put off making a second season any longer. Hopefully, they are working on the third season now. I have been buying from Amazon for a very long time and this is the first review I've ever written....that's how much we love this show.

My 2 year old loves Jack and I bought the DVD Let's Rock for a long plane ride to Hawaii. When I got the DVD turned out there were only 4 episodes. Strange they didnt do a whole season. I would wait for a larger set to come out. 15 dollars is too much to spend on 4 episodes.
Spiffy Pictures replied to my email saying it was up to Noggin so please please send emails to Noggin asking them to release more episodes and some merchandise, Dora is pasted all over the place so why isnt JBMS being shared???

We wouldn't have survived the first two years of our very "spirited" son's life without this show. It is the ONLY, ONLY thing that calms him down and captures his attention when he's having a bad tantrum or night terror. We've watched this on the DVR at 3 in the morning, 4 in the morning, all hours of the day and night over the past 2 years. It NEVER gets old, and I find that really amazing. I can quote all the episodes verbatim, sing all the songs, but I'm not even sick of this show. As an adult I still enjoy watching it.

It's bright, colorful, moves along but doesn't get boring. There is no mind-numbing repetition (a la Dora) and the dialogue is intelligent enough to entertain adults. They manage to teach a lot without banging you over the head that they're trying to teach you (another problem I have with shows like Dora, etc.) Jack and Mary & Mel make learning about different types of music, instruments and even life lessons FUN and memorable.

Our guy is only 2, so obviously alot of it goes over his head. But he is mesmerized by the colorful characters and loves dancing to the music. Lately he's been trying to sing along with the songs too, and has picked up many new words from the show. He's been a difficult (but sweet) kid his whole life, and the only time I ever get a break is when Jack is on. It really engages him and he never seems to get tired of it either.

We owe Spiffy Pictures our undying gratitude for creating such a brilliant, smart, funky and fabulous show. IMO, it's better than Sesame Street was in its heyday, but that's just my opinion. Your mileage may vary, but there is no better show for children out there, period.

Our kids, my wife and I love this new puppet show. Jack's Big Music Show premiered on Noggin shortly after our twins were born and they love it. It has the everything a kid's show could offer. Fun characters, music, and enough grown up gags to entertain the whole family (found out that the set up is based on the Jack benny show - even older than I am!)

The one draw back to this DVD is that there are only 4 shows (2 from season 1 and 2 from season 2). We were hoping to clear our DVR because we have every episode aired.

I hope Spiffy pictures and Noggin are listening to the feedback. Everyone wants more Jack!

If it weren't for Jack's Big Music Show...I would have grey hair by now.
Our daughter Jillian loves Jack, Mary, and Mel and all of their special guests!
She loves the full songs that are showcased between the show segments...those are actually her favorite. She's been a Jack lover since she was 2 months old...like other have said, the colors and the songs are what attract her.
We have Comcast OnDemand that allows us to watch Jack over and over again, but we give the DVD to family when she goes to visit. As soon as she hears Jack's mother...if she's crying, whinning, or whatever, she turns towards the TV and starts to giggle and bounce around...I love to see her happy!

She's a great baby, but when Jack is on...she looks at me like I'm a great Mommie!

Thanks Spiffy...you're Super Swell!

You have to suffer through 5 solid minutes of promos for other Nick shows before you can get to the Title Menu. Simply unacceptable.

Our 15 mo DD loves JBMS. It was the first tv she showed any interest in & it's the only thing that will calm her down when she's at meltdown point. This'll read like deja-vu to some when I say we've got every episode on Tivo, actually two Tivos, in the house & are thrilled to be able to take Jack on the road. Wiggles & Teletubbies get a little old, but DH, myself & our 14 year old son all sing along with JBMS. I ordered this for our 8 hr drive to Seattle for the holidays, but I am dissapointed that some of the most boring episodes are on the dvd. I put it in the dvd in the car this morning & she kicked & fussed until I changed from episode to episode & then finally changed the whole disc. I think when she's going thru Jack withdrawls on a week-long vacation, this dvd will eventually make her happy, but I hope next time they'll give us a full season or another 4 of the more exciting episodes.
