It was the debut of &#8216;The Ford Star Jubilee&#8217; anthology series, but was also called &#8216;The Judy Garland Special&#8217;, as she was the star. This show was telecast live in color from Los Angeles, but only the East Coast saw it in color. Other time zones saw a black and white kinescope, most of which survives today. Here is a clip of the whole one hour special but is it qued up to Judy singing &#8220;Somewhere Over The Rainbow&#8221; from the show.
