If you are not already hip to "Jack's Big Music Show" on Noggin, you need to be.

Yes, it's on Noggin, which means that it's for pre-schoolers in the same way that "The Muppet Show" was intended for kids; that is, it's intended for kids AND adults.
The puppeteers are Henson's Muppet Workshop alum, so Jack, Mary and Mel are amazingly well articulated for what are essentially sock puppets. The music videos they show have been made for Noggin especially for these episodes; yes, this is MTV for the Pre-K set. That having been said, the music simply rocks. In addition to regular video appearances by uber-MILF Laurie Berkner, there is a band called the Dirty Sock Funtime Band which is a Ska band. Yes, Ska for the Pre-K set.
Coolest Episode honors just got a lot more difficult. You see, I thought "Mel's Super Swell Dance Party" was fairly kick ass, especially with a character called Dancey Nancy bouncing up and down to the Mel Polka. My daughter, Hadley, is a big fan of doing the Mel Polka. I thought this one was in the bag because of Dancey Nancy and Laurie in the same episode, but now I've seen "The King of Swing" episode, with Buddy Guy as the King. Buddy freakin-Guy.
Yeah, this is "for kids."
