The Judy Garland Show - Episode #14

[@shaunreilly774]

Aside from her great voice and impeccable phrasing, her ability to take a song like Zing that she had been singing for nearly 30 years, and make it sound as if she was composing it on the spot was uncanny!

[@richardgornalle4536]

Thank you for this. This lady on stage was the complete package. Sadly, the young people of today don't get to experience this amazing standard of magical musical performance on today's tv. She is simply wonderful.

[@allenjones3130]

I agree. Today's so-called "singers" don't really sing as a general rule. With the exception of such artists as Jackie Evancho and Katherine Jenkins, today's "singers" generally screech and caterwaul!

Judy Garland was deeply affected by Jack Kennedy's assassination which took place the week before this program was taped. Jack and she were close personal friends. It's a tribute to her professionalism that she got through this taping so well. She wanted to include a personal tribute but the network said absolutely not. Bobby Darin was absolutely incredible! I love the "train" medley. Judy Garland was never comfortable flying so she always traveled by train. Bobby Darin was a train fan too.

Judy , you had much more than the talent to amuse, you reminded us of our heart and the need to love and be loved . The sound of your singing voice is the sound the heart would make if it could make a sound. Thank you Judy for sharing your talent because you could’ve chosen not too. We get busy in our daily responsibilities to a point where sometimes we have to push them down ( our feelings ) to get through the days fulfilling our responsibilities . When you perform those feelings we push down to get through our day come to the surface hearing those notes you sing reminding us what life is truly about. - love - of those we love and the love we should show other people who are also Gods children like ourselves. Thank you Judy.

La performance vocale réalisée par le duo Judy Garland / Bobby Darin sur " The Lonesome Road " est proprement époustouflante .

jUDY TOUCHING THOSE BOYS" HEADS AT SONG ENDING : what a wonderful memory for life!!

[@allenjones3130]

Judy's rendition of "More" was wonderful.

6:25 " the most I've had is just a talent to amuse".. And what a magnificent TALENT ❤ 25:10 Let's get that other station with that "Western" on it. Great wit and delivery ❤.. 29:12 I love this duet!! I have to listen to it daily, absolutely enjoyable.. 💜🌿🎉

[@elspethcoogan1499]

Her rendition in this episode of her show of ‘Do it Again’ almost equals the one she performed on the Carnegie Hall album. Here, at least we get to see her sing the song and can glimpse her artistry at work. Sublime.

[@Chintastic1254]

‘They just speed up the Tony Bennet record’ kills me every time I hear it. 😂

[@aleolidemu6169]

That sketch was really funny, she was so natural ❤...💜🌿

[@mariagalante821]

Judy Garland, inesquecível!

[@gwenniegirl50]

“Sing Sing Sing“ a huge hit for Benny Goodman featuring Gene Krupa on drums. It was recorded first by Louis Prima and The New Orleans Gang. Prima wrote the music and lyrics in 1936.

[@srobindittrich6599]

Bobby Darin! Oh my that man was talented and so sexy. When I first saw him on The Judy Garland Show, my heart was forever given with love and delight. And Judy was forever my number one singer and entertainer/actress/comedienne and just all around beautiful person. And what a surprise she was here with Bob New heart. So Funny!!! And that one line she has with Bobby Darin "Excuse me, may I have that seat next to you. All the other seats are taken.. away." Lol! Hysterical😍 That woman could deliver a line.

[@alexandermarquis6197]

I live when she closes with I'll be back

[@tomdegan6924]

Bob Newhart has lived longer than Judy and Bobby combined.

[@allenjones3130]

Sadly, Mr. Degan, you are so right. Judy died in 1969, and Bobby passed on in '74.

[@akrenwinkle]

@@allenjones3130 Mr. Degan meant if you combine the years Judy lived, 47, and the years Bobby lived, 37, that is 84. Newhart is now 94.

[@minidisney1]

My big favourite since early years

[@jl3322]

Her opening songs were just great. The show was uneven throughout the season, great moments, low moments but Judy sailed through it all. CBS did not do her right by changing the format so often but these are great years for her do am so glad she did the series. Bob Newhart was not funny. Bobby Darin and Judy were great.

[@charliechilders6630]

Does anyone remember "The Donnie and Marie show" ? This was weekly televised during the early and mid 1970s. I also remember when Marie performed her Judy Garland tribute singing "zing went the strings of my heart". She used Judy's vocal arrangement, while also wearing an exact duplicate of the dress that Judy wore here! Marie also danced the exact dance while working the microphone and cord precisely as Judy does in this number! I have it somewhere stored in the basement on one of my VHS tapes. It was very obvious that Marie was a serious Judy Garland fan even then in her teens.🤗👍❤️

[@allenjones3130]

Marie is one of the greatest pop singers of all time!

[@deewilson3239]

This was a week after the President's assassination

[@alicegray9216]

I love the football sequence, too bad it was deleted

[@john-carlosynostroza]

It's here... it's great fun

[@sgabig]

@@john-carlosynostroza @52:25 was the football skit 🏈 but it was cut from the tv 📺 broadcast which must have disappointed the kids & their parents

[@john-carlosynostroza]

@@sgabig I bet they were disappointed! Thanks for the great info.

[@alexechoz]

I don't suppose you have any of these in the original scale, so people aren't headless and footless?

[@brendanjobe6895]

Many thanks to Lucky Strike and Pall Mall for stepping up and sponsoring this series.

[@allenjones3130]

Lucky Strike and Pall Mall were products of the American Tobacco Company. In those days it was legal to advertise tobacco products on TV.

[@brendanjobe6895]

@@allenjones3130 I know. The reason it became illegal was that the tobacco companies WANTED it banned. They were spending hundreds of millions on it, but were satisfied that brand loyalty was pretty much established by then. Then the politicians could claim they were "cracking down" on big tobacco. LOL What a joke! Same with the warning label that was put on it.

[@fromthesidelines]

They were one of four rotating sponsors. The others were Procter & Gamble [Crest, et. al.], General Mills [Betty Crocker, Gold Medal flour, Big 'G' cereals], and Menley & James Laboratories [Contac].

[@brendanjobe6895]

@@fromthesidelines It was my impression that Lucky Strike (right at first), then Pall Mall (at the time the #1 selling cigarette) were the "main sponsors" with the others simply buying 30-second spots later in the show. I could be totally wrong on that though. Back then, literally half the people I knew smoked either Pall Malls or Luckies with the others smoking Winstons or Camels. My grandmother and her four sisters all chain-smoked Pall Malls. This would have been in the early- to mid-1960's. Always impressed with the vast array of your knowledge.

[@fromthesidelines]

In those days, most advertisers bought half-hour- or, if you were, say, Kraft Foods, General Motors, Chrysler and DuPont, a full hour- blocks of network TV programs. Some, however, did "buy" minutes of hour-long dramas, so there might be as many as six advertisers per hour on those. For example, "THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW", which was scheduled before Judy, had four rotating sponsors that season [American Home Products- for their Whitehall Laboratories, Amercian Home Foods and Boyle-Midway divisions {Anacin, Dristan, Chef Boy-ar-Dee, Aeroshave, AeroWax, Griffin shoe polish, Easy-Off, Woolite, et. al.}; Pillsbury {flour, refrigerated biscuits and cookies, cake mixes and frostings, et. al.}; Lorillard Tobaccco [Kent]; and Lever Brothers {Lipton Tea, All detergent, et. al.}. In Judy's case, each of her four sponsors bought half-hour blocks of her program. One week, it would be American Tobacco [Pall Mall] and Procter & Gamble; the following week, it would be Menley & James [Contac] and General Mills.

Where's Episode 15?

[@coreybrix1215]

Bah Humbug I think 15 is the Christmas special. Not sure if there’s a full version on here.

[@sheg1969]

Looking/listening with modern experience, examples, etc...does Bobby Darin sound like he's trying to sound more African-American or is he just swinging?

[@allenjones3130]

I think he's swinging.
