 The Best of The Judy Garland Show April 21, 2003
Gary F. Taylor (Biloxi, MS USA)
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
THE JUDY GARLAND SHOW lasted but a single season--but it is one of the most written-about series in the history of broadcast television, an example of how even the greatest talents can be undermined by network politics and bad publicity. Given the mecurial nature of its star, the series was tagged as a failure long before a single episode had been filmed; CBS gave it the worst time slot imaginable; and when expected ratings failed to materialize the powers that be essentially fiddled the program to death, constantly revising the show's format and effectively preventing it from ever achieving anything like consistency. But for all of this, when it was good, THE JUDY GARLAND SHOW was very, very good, among the most stylish and dynamic series of its era. And LEGENDS lifts some of the show's finest moments for this "greatest hits" anthology that shows Garland and a host of memorable guests at their finest.The set designs, cinematography, costumes, and staging are very memorable here: very 1960s hip and very elegant in crisp black and white. The arrangements are equally fine. And as for guest stars, the list reads like a who's who of 1960s show-biz: Tony Bennet, Peggy Lee, Lena Horne, Mickey Rooney, Jack Jones, Mel Torme, Martha Raye, Ethel Merman, Jane Powell, Bobby Darwin, and a truly remarkable performance by Barbara Striesand, who sings "Down With Love" and then duets with Garland by singing "Happy Days Are Here Again" in counterpoint to Garland's "Get Happy"--truly one of the most extraordinary pairings in 20th Century television. And then there is Garland herself. Given the failure of the show and the fact it was by and large the last substained effort of Garland's career, it is easy to think that she was "at the end" of her talents--but that is certainly not the case in any of the clips presented on this DVD. In solo, she is in remarkably fine voice and easily displays the magnetism for which she was famous; in duet, she easily holds her own with the best of her guests and mutes her own powers when playing with stars who are very clearly not in her own league. And whether it is Garland solo or Garland in duet, she has such immediacy that she transends the gaffes typical of 1960s variety series. This is a fine DVD with a beautiful transfer, excellent sound, and a package as elegant as the stars it includes. And if you're wondering whether or not you want to purchase the series--much of which is now available on DVD--this would be a good place to test the waters. Strongly recommended. --GFT (Amazon reviewer)--
A Legend...80 years! January 2, 2003

This DVD is a magnificent collection of Judy's duets and songs from her guests. Yes, a lot of these songs are taken from the other DVD's, but what did you expect? It's a compilation.
I particularly love Barbra Streisand / Judy's duet. Two of the best female singers of our time TOGETHER. It's also interesting to see Liza as a young woman.
The bonus features are really fun to see! (The outtakes) and the game is thrilling.
Judy's solos are worth buying this. I absolutly love hearing the oldies like "I'm Nobody's Baby" and the newer(at that time) Rock-a-bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody"! Absoloutly wonderful special by one of the BEST performers...JUDY GARLAND!
A Bit Harsh September 10, 2002

I feel some of the reviews of this DVD are a bit harsh. Yes there is repetition for those Garland fans who purchase each new DVD offered of the series, but there are some interesting new things here. I found it worth the price to have the outtakes of the "Born in a Trunk" segment from show 26. I also enjoyed Judy's solo numbers, new to DVD. The one disappointment is the truncated medley shared by Judy and Bobby Darin. I wish the entire number had been included. I have faith that Pioneer will eventually release the rest of the series and,until then, I will be thankful for what I think has been a great DVD collection of Judy's finest work.
