Customer Reviews of The Judy Garland Show, Vol. 01 (Shows 1 & 3)
It doesn't get better than this... These two early episodes of Judy Garland's weekly T.V. series show her at her absolute zenith....looking slim, glamorous, and gorgeous, and singing like no one else could ever come close to! Her versions of Old Man River, As Long As He Needs Me, Come Rain or Come Shine, and When The Sun Comes Out are so emotionally charged and soulful and show her unmatched ability to rip her heart out for her audiences. Mickey Rooney is also very enjoyable, and very affectionate with his old MGM pal. Hearing them ad-lib to old photographs of themselves when they were teenagers is simply charming and full of wit. Liza is also fun to watch in this very early stage of her career, as she is so energetic and full of spunk! These television shows are simply classic, and if some of the intervening segments lag (like the scenes with Jerry Van Dyke), they don't override the greatness and brilliance of the musical numbers.
As long as we need her.
Judy Garland's one foray into series television was not perfect, but that was not entirely her fault. She was more anxious than anyone to make this a success, but the show's producers tweaked and ravaged the show's format so much that it ended up a 'flawed gem' as someone so accurately described earlier. Audiences would've been more than happy to see Ms. Garland just belt out one song after another, but early on her show was a musical variety hybrid, co-starred with 'second banana' dimwit Jerry Van Dyke, and featuring an uneven roster of guest stars. In early 1963 she hit paydirt by featuring her teenage daughter Liza Minnelli, who showed early, raw, talent of her own. Impressive as they are together (performing in burlesque and a medley of pop songs), it is the solo efforts of the 41-year-old mother that really stand out: an up-tempo version of "Come Rain Or Come Shine (staged full-frame to better show off her slimmed down figure)," and a torchy rendition of "As Long As He Needs Me (staged behind a trunk on a darkened runway)." The black-and-white DVD renders a marvelous picture, as these shows are digital transfers from the original, show quality, 2-inch videotapes. Kudos to Pioneer Entertainment!!
Judy Garland Show Volume 1
Judy's star again, as always, shines bright in these two episodes (1&3) of her television show! Two extra treats of these episodes are Mickey Rooney and Liza Minnili, Judy Garland's daughter. With both you can clearly see Judy's very special bond to each of these individuals!
If you simply love Judy Garland, these are a must for any fan! Her shows are perhaps the best body of her work avalible!
