In the final episode of Judith Lucy’s Spiritual Journey this week, the comedian treks off to Indian for a little transcendental inspiration.

This has been a surprisingly enjoyable series as Lucy’s humour is tempered by her sincerity for the subject.

This week her opening sequence even includes a tribute to Mary Tyler Moore.

“It’s time to get serious, so here I am in India -the birthplace of Buddhism and Yoga,” she says.

“Enlightenment -come and get me!”

Who else but Lucy can toss her hat in the air, a-la Mary Tyler Moore Show‘s opening sequence, in the middle of a busy street in India?

“I’m gonna make it after all everyone!”

It airs 9:35pm Wednesday on ABC1.

  1. I also was so disappointed and doWnright disgusted by judith’s attitude and gutter comedy in the first 3 episodes. However, as a student of yoga and meditation, I was encouraged to watch her 5th episode and found it funny, balanced, interesting and insightful.

    Thanks Jude, for helping to reinspire me when my passion has waned so dramatically.

  5. I’ve enjoyed Judith’s program but it wasn’t quite as good as I was hoping.
    Not sure why exactly, probably too much anticipation.
    Some bits have been excellent – I thought the support group skit for ex-commerical radio jocks absolutely hilarious.
    She’s a complex lady, that’s for sure.

  7. Brilliant show! We have loved every minute of this series. Judith is so open in her self evaluation and provides both a serious and humurous look into the world of self enlightenment. With some great cameo performances in the Judith flashbacks and extremely well balanced interviews I think it could perhaps be her best work yet.

    Time to start work on the next series Judith…that is, after a few drinks!

  8. If I have a quibble with the program at all, is that we spent the first 2 episodes still dealing with Christianity (and in particular Catholicism); then psychics; then Indigenous stillness; then yoga / Buddhism / Vipassana meditation.

    I appreciate that it is *her* spiritual journey, but I would have expected the Hindus, the Jains, the Muslims. the Sikhs, the Jews, and even the Taoists to get a look-in.

    Even after Safran and Lucy there is still a television series to be made about spiritual seeking.

  10. The show is decent except for every time Judith Lucy is on screen or talking.

    I always thought she was funny from the old late show days, but I couldn’t get through more than two episodes. She was just painfully unfunny and unlikable. The people on the show she’d speak to were interesting though.

  11. I have loved this show – Judith has tempered her sarcasm very well, and has bought so much honesty to her journey.

    Even my father who isn’t a fan of her work, has been watching every week.
