I think at the beginning of this, before judy and jack start doing all the numbers, she looks beautiful sitting opposite him!

she was gorgeous anyway, but she just looks beautiful!

[megchristie1]

@judyinjune You are right. Actually, I think she displays a touching beauty all the way through her show.

A wonderful musical medley that put Judy and Jack's singing and comedic talent on full display. Love it. Thanks for posting it !

@pal035s This is one of my favourite bits of her Show!

@defundthewar These are without doubt the best parts. I enjoy her stories very much - as much as her singing, that is always excellent (they only aren't so dramatically efficient when she dubbes them). Some guests have great solo numbers too - I love Donald O'Connor one, for instance. But although the Show isn't 100% great, I absolutely adore it.

@megchristie1 Her stories, told at her theatrical trunk, are pure Judy, whether accurate or not. Her tea for two banter, also, is Judy-speak. But whenever her lines, with guests or not, goes nowhere, and she is just dying up there, it is written for her.

@defundthewar I agree Jerry's parts are painful. Actually, he seems to me a boring guy who overacts to be funny (but is never able to). Judy is charming so she can get along with anything, even the poor jokes. I'm curious about something: how can you tell when the stuff is written by her or not?

[defundthewar]

The only good comedy on her show were Judy's own material- stories she liked to tell, and her comedic flair. The writing for her was, more times than not, just plain awful and/or unfunny. The critics were quick to pick up on that, and they were right. A lot of it, especially when Jerry Van Dyke was involved, is uncomfortable or painful to watch. When he was dropped, it was an improvement. Jack Carter was considered to be a regular, but he already had other work scheduled.
