My next door neighbor is going to kiss the ground I walk on when I tell him (if he doesn't already own it) that The Judy Garland Show: Volumes One, Two & Three have come to DVD. While he's not the queeniest queen in the castle, he's got a gigantic poster of Judy up on his wall and usually when I take my dogs out at the end of the evening I can hear show tunes blaring from his television. This might be the perfect gift to get him for Memorial Day.

I am way too young and butch to have known Ms. Judy had her own variety show, but apparently it was critically acclaimed and was even nominated for an Emmy. You posthumously go girl!

Here's what the release has to say:

Ending its critically acclaimed, Emmy-nominated CBS-TV run after just one season (1963-64), the show’s 26 episodes are revered by many today as the legendary entertainer’s finest work.

Come along for these two delightful episodes featuring legendary, multi-Grammy Award-winning songstress Lena Horne; comic actor Terry-Thomas (It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World); masterful, Grammy- and Emmy Award-winning crooner Tony Bennett; comedian/singer Dick Shawn; and series regular Jerry Van Dyke.

Restored and digitally remastered from the original videotapes and digitally remixed sound in 5.1 surround sound, this dynamic diva will move you like no one else!
