"[1] In 2008, the show was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Pre-School Children's Series.

The series focuses on music-loving Jack, his best friend Mary, and his drumming dog Mel, all of whom are puppets.

The show takes place in Jack's backyard clubhouse and centers on the characters' passion for music.

Sometimes, Jack leaves and tells his mom what they did today, while other times they continue to play music in the clubhouse.

Other possible name references to Jack Benny Program regulars include Sheldon and Leonard (Sheldon Leonard), Phil the Coo-Coo Bird (Phil Harris), and Gertrude the Groundhog (Bea Benaderet's recurring character Gertrude Gearshift).
