    BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
    Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
    Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
    Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
    philip-ct I managed to see most of the shows via an American contact - copies of the VHS tapes (on DVD) - I would love for the Studio to recapture these. The shows are excellent - professional in terms of the sketches, the interviews and the singing. The pilot episode, consisting of Julie Andrews and the "regulars" is excellent, but then again I am biased (being a Julie Andrews fan). The show extends her range - and shows with some of the Big Band stars and rock stars of the time (Sammy Davis, Henry Belafonte, Mamma Cass Eliot, to name some) are excellent. Brilliant singing, choreography and acting - Julie Andrews herself is on record of saying that TV was hard work, and the hard work is evident in the series - although she makes it look so easy. It's a brilliant series, which must be made available....
    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.
    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.
