Old Time Radio - Children Kids Show - Big Jon and Sparkie
Hi! Hey! Hello there! That was the beginning to the Big Jon and Sparkie, a daily children's show featuring Jon Arthur (Big Jon) and Sparkie, "an elf from the land of make-believe, who wanted more than anything to be a real boy." (The recorded voice of Jon Arthur played at a fast speed.) In addition to the daily show, they also had a two-hour show on Saturday mornings called No School Today, heard weekly by 12 million listeners on 275 ABC stations. Although the show was intended for kids, many adults also became avid listeners due to its funny and very entertaining theme. It is Jon Arthur who did almost all of the huge cast of character’s voices; in fact, it was also him who supervised the whole show single-handedly. The show debuted in 1950 as a 30-minute program at WSAI in Cincinnati. Beginning 1951, however, it was changed into a syndicated serial that ran for 12 minutes only, carried daily on 181 ABC stations. The show had its final episode in 1958. It was sponsored by Rubels Rye Bread and Barques Root Beer, both Cincinnati home grown products. The show's theme song was "Teddy Bears' Picnic" as sung by Ann Stephens. Cincinnati's Don Kortekamp, who was working at WSAI, became the scriptwriter of Big Jon and Sparkie The shows enjoyed a revival in the 1970s introducing a second generation of children to Big Jon and Sparkie and was also a television show over Channel 9. Jon Arthur later hosted a radio teen show called Juvenile Jury.
