live performance of big john and sparkie
Children's radio (1950 - 1958)

Big John and Sparkie looking coyAlthough Jon Arthur created and produced Big Jon and Sparkie for kids, it is a wonderfully inventive and gently humorous show that many adults will find utterly charming. It may be for its opening theme, The Teddy Bear's Picnic. Big Jon is the regular mild-mannered father figure that loves and cares for Sparkie. "Ukie" is the pretty goofy but adventurous cabbie who is their friend. But the show really revolves around Sparkie who sounds like a little "elf from the land of make-believe" but acts and thinks just like a real boy. In that earlier time, a "live" voice like a cartoon that was a part of a "real" show was something special for kids. It's still special to listen to today, as Jon Arthur's gentle and witty writing about a small town's characters (although it's Cincinnati!) makes this show great fun. For the record, Jon Arthur did nearly all of the voices and oversaw the show's production single-handedly. His use of sound effects and interlude music is exemplary. He was quoted as saying that all the ideas on the show were from real life, or were sent in by the show's thousands of young fans. They even had a "What Does Sparkie Really Look Like Contest", and the accompanying photo is Jon

Big John and Sparkie outside performanceThe show began as a half hour, and was changed to a syndicated twelve-plus minute radio serial format in 1951. These rare episodes are from that period. Mayor Plumpfront, is getting married to the "fabulously wealthy" Florida widow Daffodil Dilly. We are with the boys coming back from an adventure-packed trip to Africa, and as the wedding plans near completion, kidnappers take Daffodil Dilly! The boys work to crack the case. The second major adventure in this group is a mystery involving Bunny, Sparkie's Boston Bulldog. It's called "The Canine Mutiny." The small-town qualities of so many old time radio favorites such as Fibber McGee and Molly, the Great Gildersleeve, Vic and Sade and are mirrored in The Further Adventures of Big Jon and Sparkie. And it's not a stretch to say that Jon Arthur liked I Love a Mystery. What radio adventure serial after Morse's I Love a Mystery wasn't influenced by its finely drawn, individual characters dealing with unexpected twists of plot?The Further Adventures of Big John and Sparkie developed through the 1950s and went to a longer format broadcast on Saturday mornings as "No School Today." Sparkie's irrepressible sense of belonging in a real if slightly wacky world, is very involving. John Dunning, in "On the Air, The Encyclopedia of Old Time Radio," says "It remained, for those who heard it, one of the "

For more charming children's adventure serials see also: Air Castle, Cinnamon Bear, Magic Island, and Little Orphan Annie. For older kids, there are many action-packed old time radio shows, some of them in the15 minute serial format. A few are Air Adventures of Jimmy Allen, Speed Gibson,Cisco Kid, Captain Midnight, Superman, The Green Hornet, Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, and Space .

    I listened to the show. I loved it. I saw Big John and Sparky live in Las Vegas when I was very young. I still have the souvenir booklet from that show somewhere.

    I used to listen to BJ & S when I was 4 years old, some time before TV was common household entertainment. I had a habit of sucking my thumb and was about to enter day school when I was listening to BJ & S on my birthday. All of a sudden I heard my name being mentioned on the air, and it was Big John wishing me a happy birthday and telling me to stop sucking my thumb because big boys going to school do not suck their thumbs! I immediately stopped sucking on my thumb. Apparently my mother had written to the radio station and mentioned both my birthday and my thumb sucking habit but BJ & S took care of both! Seventy three years later I still remember that day, so thanks Mom and thanks Big John, where ever you are!

    I am trying to locate "The Three Litle Fishes" by Big Jon and the No school today gang. I have the 78rpm record we played as a child, but it is in terrible condition. I have 27 grandchildren and would live to share it with them.

    Debra Verified Purchase

    Hello-my kids and i loved listening to big john and sparkey when they were little - there was a woman who told stories on the 2nd half of the show, if my memory is correct-about clouds and rain drops and animals, etc.

    Sandy Verified Purchase

    Big John and Sparky is a fantastic show, very creative and engaging. I grew up listening to the broadcast on Family Radio, which included the singing of hymns and bible verses, all centered on kids. I loved it, and often taped the broadcast. I must have listened to those tapes a thousand times, to the extent that I memorized a lot of my favorite shows. I just re-listened to the 160 episodes available here on OTRCAT. Please acquire more Big John and Sparky!

    I found the episode where Eukey decides to go to the Land of Make-Believe to find Sparky. It's roughly episodes 108-113. I taped that sequence when I was a kid, and I must have listened to it a thousand times. Great to hear it again! Here's the kicker, though: unfortunately, there is a segment of episode 113 that is lost! And to make matters worse, it is the climax of the whole sequence, where Eukey jumps down into the Tangly Tower, flees the Swamp Wamps, and then wakes up out of his dream. But, hey, at least the rest of the episodes are in good condition. I know that these old recordings degrade after a long time. I haven't found the sequence where Sparky thinks the neighbors are Martians yet, but I'll let you know if I find it.

    My big sister and I saw them at the Cow Palace What a great adventure that was! I think Dad liked this show more than we did, LOL.

    Lois Verified Purchase

    This show helped me get through when I was bedridden for months with rheumatoid arthritis when I was 11. I loved them before that, and they were wonderful companions and something to look forward to each day.

    Marshall Verified Purchase

    I was a little too old to listen to this one much, but, my younger brothers and sisters loved it. It was on 6 days a week. It was from Cincinnati.

    Daryl Verified Purchase

    I have gotten my dad the big John and sparky cds and he is looking to find the songs from the show...the theme song, the birthday song and other various songs from the show.

    Megan Verified Purchase

    I remember being a faithful follower of the radio show and attending a live show in Santa Cruz, CA with my Mom and little sister. Would you have the date of the show? Thanks!

    Douglas A Dean

    Enjoyed listenint to Big John and Sparky. Laughed out loud!!!!

    Paula Verified Purchase

    I remember most of these shows--especially Big John and Sparky-- from when I was a kid in the 50s and no one we knew had a TV.

    David Verified Purchase

    I didn’t know Sparky was a dummy... I thought he was real... it was hard to see him on the radio...even when one looked inside the radio from the back

    Diane

    It didn't matter. You would still ride the magic carpet. Love that memory, and Cincinnati's Dancing pig.

    Dale Verified Purchase

    they did have a Saturday show of "No School Today". I believe it ran on ABC from 9 to 10 am and it was sponsored by Reubels Rye Bread and Barq's Root Beer, both Cincinnati products because that is where the program was broadcast. I was listening to it while we lived in Central New Hampshire and my mother told me that I was born in Cincinnati. Big Jon played a lot of children's records and even had a marching song played by Gil Houlihan and his Leprechaun Marching Band. You would march around the breakfast table. It also was on WCPO TV in Cincinnati during the Fifties.

    Mike Verified Purchase

    The show was off the air by the time I was old enough to remember what I heard on the radio. I've heard one of Big Jon & Sparky records (Little Red Caboose/Run, Rabbit, Run). But I do remember Rubel's Rye Bread--that was my dad's favorite rye bread. I wish they still made it--it was delicious.
