Customer Rating:      Summary: Judy Garland Show Comment: If you love Judy Garland and it has been since you were very young, like I was, since you have seen these shows, this is a must have see. To see such a great talent at her best is a trip back in time, well worth taking again and again.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Awesome! Comment: Others here have written beautifully about this treasure, so I'll just add that this is the first DVD that I ever purchased, on the same day that I bought my first DVD player, and that this collection was the only reason I bought a DVD player to begin with. It also was the first time I'd seen Judy Garland's 1963-64 TV series, and the first (of now many times) that I have read and referred to the really excellent and informative paperback book 'Rainbows End' written by Coyne Sanders which comes in this awesome DVD package.
Some 200 DVDs later in my collection, I'm happy that this is the one that got me started with collecting DVDs in the first place. I wish more box sets would include books and supplemental material so richly provided with this box set. It belongs in the home of every fan of Judy Garland and the guest performances are to behold- because of this show, I was introduced to Peggy Lee, Martha Raye, Vic Damone and other excellent musical talents I'd heard of, but basically had never seen perform.
It's a must-have :)
Customer Rating:      Summary: We have Lift Off Comment: Just wait until you see Judy sing The Battle Hymn of the Republic for the first time in the show. Her talent is supernatural. What else can I say. I have so far only bought the first box set and will soon buy the next. I wish that the shows could be packaged in complete running order. I would be prepared to buy the ones that I have already purchased again. Pure Heaven.
Customer Rating:      Summary: The Ultimate Garland Collection! Comment: I am awestruck by this incredible collection. I wish more people could see this and know how great a performer Judy was(and still is in my opinion). The sound and visual are unbelievably mesmerizing! I've turned on others to the show who aren't devoted fans, as I am, and they are impressed to no end! If only they could have given the great Garland more seasons! You just love her all over again!
As a small child, I remember watching this show with the entire family. It was great then, but not like this! Incredible!

Customer Rating:      Summary: Judy Garland- as always- AMAZING! Comment: Holy COW! I dont even know what to say about these Judy Garland sets- (I purchased both). I have been a fan of Judy's for a long time now. I remember distincly walking into a Saturday Matinee (video store) years ago- and they have movies playing on the TV's in the store- they were playing "Summer Stock" and Judy's performace of "Get Happy" came on - I stood there mesmerized!!! Aside from "The Wizard of OZ" that was the only Judy Garland movie I had seen. From that day forward I have watched ALL of her movies and picked up all the reputable biographies on her as well.
I recently decided to order myself the Judy Garland Box Sets 1 and 2- why it took me so long to do so - I have NO idea...I think perhaps I was more a fan of her movies and seen many clips here the there of her TV show...In a sense I am SO glad I did wait this long- as I was able to get both "trunk like cases" filled with Judy Garland. I have seem many a frustrated fan over the periodic releases and then they released part 2 in the trunk caseing.
Regardless...
They arrived and I have been watching them everyday since- enthralled- fascinated- mesmerized!! The show itseld is very good for a variety show - and keep in mind this is from the 60's - so it is mostly song and dance. Nothing overly fancy. But it is ALL talent- REAL talent- no lip synching- no half naked dancers!
The Tea with Judy is SO cute- the back and forth discussions are very cute- and having Judy sing is great!
Amazon has a steep price for these sets- but I have to say it is worth every penny if you are a true Judy Garland fanatic. A casual fan may not appreciate it as much. I got them off the amazon marketplace for close to half of Amazon's price- so shop around. They were brand new- factory sealed and the price was just right.
The DVD's themselves- you can just tell how much care was put into this set. The image- crystal clear, the extras. deleted sequences, Judy's flubs- PRICELESS- handy book comes in the 1st set - just all around GREAT. The packaging is absolutely fantastic- the trunks- SO represent Judy Garland- so cute. However, as I am a fanatic about keeping things nice, and new looking when my sets arrived the boxes were BADLY damaged. The lids to both Trunk sets were torn in the cornes- im not talking litte tears- im talking TORN all the way. I sent them back, the next set- TORN again!!! It seems to be quite common since they are cardboard and if not packed correctly - they can damage easily- the third set was a charm- no tears- all in tact. Not for nothing but when you pay the amount you do for these sets- who wants ripped up boxes???
If you are a fan of Judy Garland- these sets are a MUST HAVE
