Only recently have I been able to watch a couple of episodes of this charming show. I don't remember this show ever being on network TV. I was a kid in the early 70s. Even at a young age, I was a big TV fan. I would have remembered Julia. After recently watching the first two episodes on line, I am very interested to see more of the show. Diahann Carroll was absolutely beautiful and charming in the title role. In 1968, casting a black actress in a lead role was risky for the obvious reasons. What a shame that it had to be that way. Diahann's character has a quiet dignity and assertiveness. The love she had for her young son was a nice thing to watch. The "Julia" character was a single mom, but also a woman who didn't view herself as a "victim." Very nice show. I only wish I had been able to watch the show when it first aired.
