The Judy Garland Show Episode 9

I guess that was before she demanded to always be interviewed from her left profile

Her hair style at the time covered the sides of her face so you can't see much from either side.

Streisand looks like an Amazon woman next to her.

Great episode. The Smothers Brothers are ok, Jerry Van Dyke is insufferable as always, but Babs is sublime. Thankfully the filler can be easily skipped over. Barbra is in top form. Her Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered is exquisite. A perfect example of breathing new life into a musty old tune. And Down with Love is a powerhouse. Ethel adds her old school bombast (fun!). But the duets with Judy are mesmerizing. Some of the best television EVA...

It's a joy to see Barbra so young and playful. Unselfconscious, loose and laughing at herself, just having fun. The annoying scripted dialogue is painful but every moment they sing makes it worthwhile.

Babs a big star in the making but was very demure singing with powerhouse Merman.

I shang that shame medley with Mama.

Barbra doesn't look thrilled to be performing with Merman.

Come to think of it, I don't think she's mentioned Ethel Merman at all when discussing this show.

Streizand admires no one but herself. She didn't give a rusty fuck about Garland. She just wanted to sing Over The Rainbow in her backyard - so she read a story off the teleprompter about her 'memories' of dear Judy.
