The Judds is an American reality television-documentary series on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, featuring country music singer Naomi Judd and her daughter, singer-guitarist Wynonna Judd, who performed and recorded music together as the Judds, their success peaking in the 1980s and 1990s. The special docuseries, which debuted on April 10, 2011, chronicled the Judds as they traveled the country making music, performing for fans but also dealing with topics including negativity, gratitude, familial history and repressed emotions; a therapist was a featured member of the series.[1]
