Summary: words from a long time Garland fan....
Review: I have to say this is the GREATEST thing that has ever happened in the world of Judy Garland video. It dosen't get any better than this. Enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Breathtaking!
Review: I just watched the whole collection, and it was simply breathtaking. The first DVD, Just Judy, has many Garland solo performances from different shows.

Just by listening to Judy sing live "Last Night When We Were Young" I got my money's worth. If you can sit through that song without being overcome by emotion, then you are made of steel.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great...................but
Review: I remember these show from when I was much younger, and couldn't wait to see them again of DVD. Terrific material and wonderful memories, BUT what happened to the show with Barbra Streisand. I cannot beleive that this set was released without it. Are we to expect more in the future. If anyone has an answer to this please let me know

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must of Garland Fans
Review: I'm not too much of a fan of the songs that Garland sings. I'm really much more into Rock-n-Roll. But what you see through this DVD collection of her TV work is the truely great artist that was Judy Garland. I wish that modern singers would put as much into their artistry as Ms. Garland did. Maybe some of today's current divas should watch these shows and take notes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Greatest Work of Judy Garland's Career
Review: I've heard so many people say that the finest work of Judy Garland's adult career is A Star is Born; as wonderful as it is, I disagree. Her television show of the 1963-64 season is definitely the greatest work of her career. Though Judy had only five years left to live, she is in exceptional voice. Her emotion filled deliveries before live television audiences are awe-inspiring. Knowing that Judy's shows are preserved on DVD is especially a treat for those of us who were not born yet. The Judy Garland Show Collection box set is amazing - 14 of 26 episodes, outtakes, a beautifully written book about the series, an index booklet of guests, shows, and songs, a link to the Judy Garland Database, and a screen saver, all packaged in a very attractive trunk casing. The audio and visual quality of these shows is unbelievable; so clear and crisp you'd swear they were taped yesterday. Some of Judy's guests include Mickey Rooney, Count Basie, Lena Horne, Liza Minnelli and Tony Bennett, to name a few. It's also interesting to see the changes in the style of the shows due to its three different producers. Of coarse, best of all is Judy, as Judy, giving some of the greatest performances of her career. I believe that just as her performance as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz will be remembered as the beginning of her musical brilliance, The Judy Garland Show will go down in history as the final word on the greatness of Judy Garland.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FOUND THE MISSING COMMENTARY
Review: I, like many others, had been baffled by the audio commentary which was publicized on the box. Couldn't find it anywhere...well, the mystery is solved! The mysterious commentary consists of the recorded comments of one of the show's producers. It appears on only one of the four disks. I believe it is under the "audio options" on side one of disk three. On all the other disks, the audio options consist of 5.1 stereo sound or the original mono. On one side of one of the disks, hitting the audio option icon will reveal the commentary option.

Now wouldn't it have been great to get Liza and Lorna and Joey in a room and have them share their thoughts with Judy's legions of fans through a scene specific commentary. I just watched the episode where Judy is having tea with George Jessel and she urges him to sing My Mother's Eyes. Judy cried, I cried, I'm sure Liza and Lorna and Joey must have been all choked up! It is a beautiful moment. And the box set is full of them!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Been Over the Rainbow
Review: If there is ever any video more complete more Garland, please let me know. However I think this is IT! No other releases come close in this vintage collection. It is really nice to see Judy in action again and again and in such immaculate and visually stunning way.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Audio Commentary Track
Review: If you go to episode 5's menu screen and click on the audio configuration option you will find the audio commentary track by George Schlatter.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Judy collection second to none
Review: If you're an avid Judy fan or just someone who heard of her... this collection has to be seen by all and part of your DVD collection.. the shows are terrific, a step back into the past when live TV was an happening... the guests on the shows, the songs, the simple but great staging.. well one can hardly say enough.... if five stars is the tops.... give this 10.....
