Big Jon and Sparkie changed my life


(5 stars)

I cannot find the show, but I know it was out there. I remember it, to this day. Jon describes what an atom is. He describes the planetary model of the atom, the nucleus, and the shells of the electrons. WOW, I thought that WONDERFUL. Here I started my life with Physics. Meanwhile, I grew up, got a BS, MS and PhD in Applied Physics with a specialty in Laser Physics at Stanford. Well I still think the atom is wonderful, and it started right HERE, with Big Jon. I think I was 4 , and am now 74. It has been a good trip, all these years with my friend, the atom. My thanks to Big Jon and Sparkie, long may their programs play.

Other "lost" shows?

My seven year old daughter loves these. She has listened to every one of the "Adventures" (doesn't like No School Today so much). I have heard that that there are additional installments of the Adventures floating around including a story arc in which the gang visits Europe. Apparently, it played on a Christian station several years ago. Does anyone know where these can be found? We are certainly willing to pay.

Sparkie is special!

I really enjoy and recommend this charming children's serial. It features a good-hearted but recalcitrant, obstreperous, smart-alecky and romance-hating little boy from the 'Land of Make Believe' and the highly-imaginative adventures he shares with his adopted guardian Big Jon, who works for a radio station in Cincinnati. Many thanks to whoever furnished us these hard to find episodes!
