The magnificent Judy Garland closes out her magnificent television series with the last DVD volume, Final Chapter. Episode 11 is of the usual variety format, mixing guests Steve Allen, Jayne Meadows, and Mel Torme with dances and comedy. Episode 20 takes the concert format, highlights of which are the program of Americana Garland conceived of shortly after JFK's death and her songs to all her children (one for Lorna Luft had to be specially created).
Episode 26 was the last of the series, and what makes it particularly notable is not just the show as it was broadcast, but the extra disc of outtakes. Due to various problems, Garland was unable to record enough material for a complete show so segments from previous episodes were used to fill the gaps. The outtakes allow us to see what Garland had in mind for that finale, including a dance of her own devising to "Where Is the Clown." It's fascinating to watch the artist at work as she runs through multiple takes. But because the number was never finished and never aired, also not aired was the emotional "Here's to Us" finale because Garland was still in clown makeup as she bid farewell to her audience, her family, and her fellow performers. It's the finale Garland should have had, and its inclusion here is just one reason why The Judy Garland Show, as impressive as it was in 1963-64 when it presented the 20th century's greatest entertainer in a forum that best displayed her talent, is even better as it's preserved on DVD. --David Horiuchi

Judy is pure magic on this, the final taping for her final show.
What is so very important here, is the "lost", never aired installment. I will not ruin any of its magic. It is a bitter sweet and moving performance by the great Judy.
Pay close attention to the "menu" and select each item that is featured on the end of the number 8 show. What is offered on the "menu" is truly priceless.

I bought the boxed set if the Judy Garland show and all the subsequent releases.Sadly, this is the last- but what a collection. I must say these DVD's are the most played in my inventory.
Beautifully restored footage (from videotape!)the image quality is at times astounding, with extraordinary depth and detail. Those early Marconi cameras shot very much 'in your face' which gives an intimacy never seen with todays zoom lenses.Judy quickly mastered the art of looking- at suitable intervals- right ...

The final Pioneer Entertainment release of The Judy Garland Show is full of interesting bonus features and classic performances, but the real satisfaction comes from the inclusion of Show #11 with Steve Allen, Mel Torme, and an hilarious "interview" with Jayne Meadows. ("aka, Mrs. Steve Allen") It is the most balanced and successful of all the Norman Jewison directed shows, and a testament to what The Judy Garland Show could have been in the standard variety format. Garland herself is in top form ... Read More

Its so satisfying to know that all of Judy's shows as well as priceless outtakes are now preserved on DVD. The last 2 releases have been as good as the first box set in terms of extras and picture quality. The outtakes show Judy's professionalism, quick wit and the hard work that in its finished product looks so effortless. For years I read accounts of the show is which she is portrayed as bored and petulant, frequently phoning it in and that the series' failure was one more sign that she was washed up. ... Read More
