Hi! Hey! Hello there! That was the beginning to the Big Jon and Sparkie, a daily 15 minute 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." In addition to the daily show, they also had a two-hour show on Saturday mornings called No School Today. Big Jon and Sparkie featured a huge cast of characters over its run from 1950 to 1958. The shows enjoyed a revival in the 1970s introducing a second generation of children to Big Jon and Sparkie.
