 The Judy Garland Show Volume 8   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
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).
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.
