    ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
    Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
    Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
    Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
    showersandsunflowers The Julie Andrews Hours were what entertainment was all about. Too many fabulous stars to mention joined Julie in this gem of a show. Just to name a few.... there was Sammy Davis Jr.,Cass Elliott, Harry Belafonte, Eydie Gorme, Peggy Lee, Joel Grey, Steve Lawrence, Sid Caesar, Jimmy Stewart, not too shabby, I'd say! When Robert Goulet, Julie's Lancelot from their 'Camelot' days on Broadway, joined Julie we knew we were in for a real treat, their chemistry was amazing! The JAH's won several Emmys, including one for a much deservingly Julie. Just hearing Julie so beautifully sing her sign-off song, 'Time Is My Friend', which was written by Julie and Leslie Bricusse was worth tuning in. If only we could be blessed with the JAH's on DVD.
    rbowles-2 I am lucky enough to have the entire series on DVD which was transferred from VHS tapes. This show was on when I was in high school and we never missed. It is so good to see these shows again with the commercials!!! These were taped off a set in Pensacola, FL, as the 'station identifications' note. A few impressions...I'm amazed that a show like this could be put together every week. There is an amazing segment on the show with Sammy Davis, Jr. in which they do a medley of 7 or 8 Broadway show numbers, all with different sets and costumes, this takes up one entire segment of the show! I've also decided that Julie Andrews and Harry Belafonte should have had children. What beauties those would have been. I was amazed again at the beautiful, rich blend of the voices of Andrews and Cass Elliot. Probably my favorite episode of all was the one with Robert Goulet (who had a finer voice than this man in his prime?) and Joel Grey.
    mit800 i remember watching this show when it originally aired in Prime time. What a treat to have Julie singing and clowning every week in the tradition of the other great ladies of the variety shows that were so popular then. What a shame these variety shows of the 70`s are not available to buy on DVD or video today. Julie had some wonderful guests on her show including Sammy Davis, Angela Lansbury, Mama Cass, the real Maria Von Trapp, Peggy Lee, Jim Nabors, Henry Mancini and more. I have been lucky enough to obtain a few of these shows but would love to see all of them including the pilot episode in which Julie played herself, Eliza Doolittle and Mary Poppins all at the same time through trick photography. Mary and Eliza were arguing about who introduced Julie to the world through theatre or movies and then all three sang together. Maybe someday we`ll get lucky enough to get to see these shows again.
    dragnsg8 Would so much like to see this series made available on DVD or the audio via cd. these shows are creative and include some of the very best performers no longer with us. Indeed we don't even have Ms Andrews voice coming to us in new forms. On these tapes she is in fine voice and sings material not recorded any where else.
