Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

dr_not My grandson watches this show every day...he is enthralled by it... you can barely get his attention when it on and he's only 18 months old..the humor is great for the adults watching with their kids (or grand kids... as it were)...the music is great too...such a wide variety is hardly ever seen on kids t.v. ...my grandson mimics the clapping and singing...even the animal noises on the "Mel thinks he's a cat" episode...which happens to be one of MY favorites...this show is one the whole family can enjoy...over and over ...as it is in my house...we can't wait for the new episodes to arrive...bravo to the creators of this show and please put it out on video soon!!!!!!!!!

drewandem My daughter is only 2 and begs to watch the show. We TIVO it regularly and she goes nuts over the show. I have seen every episode thus far at least 10 times each. It beats the heck out of Booh Baah and other trash like that. The music in it is cool. I even can live with it. My daughter would rather watch this show than any other on TV. She usually doesn't even watch TV but goes nuts when this is on. At least it teaches values and counting etc... It is a great show. The fact that Jack is such a music freak is really cool as well. He likes all kinds of music. My favorite is the Schwarzman Quartet those guys are really cool. They are in every episode and sing really cool songs. Laurie Berkner is really cool as well. There are other kid friendly groups that perform as well. Lot's of fun!!!

Heather I just watched this with my 3 year old daughter and could have closed my eyes and seen Grover, Prairie Dawn, Baby Bear and all those lovable characters. A show consisting of 3 puppets, and special guests. They have music videos throughout the show with child friendly performers and other children dancing around. Jack has a club house in his backyard and invites the viewers and his friends to come over for musical fun. They have guests like the Schwartzman Quartet, baby Wolf (from the big bad wolf family), and many others. They discuss different musical instruments and generally engage children through music. I like this show and am convinced that Mary is the same puppeteer who plays Praire Dawn on Sesame Street. Enjoy the show!

boisenewbie 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!!
