This show purposely kept out the Black Father ,white psycholotricks getting Black's used to the idea of the Absent Black Father , the blind Black's revolution was televised and look at where Black's are today with interracial black-and-white relationships and Integration and gentrification they are just so far behind as a whole when this show aired in the late 1960's.

Dihann Carroll was so ahead of her time in Hollywood, just like her Mentor, Dorothy Dandridge!! She made History with this Series, and paved the way for so many other Beautiful Black Women in the Entertainment Industry. R.I.P. Ms. Carroll....
I haven't seen this show since the late '60's. Truly a breath of fresh air and charm. Julia was very well written, with dignity and heart. Simple. Fun. And, honest. However, it would take almost 7 more years before a Black TV family would include a strong father figure. His name would be Mr. John Amos.
What's so beautiful about this show is how Julia was never afraid to show vulnerability in front of her son there are some who never want their child to see that which is their choice but when a child sees that being expressed by you it draws them closer to you.
Parents fill they have to show strength for their children to be strong. If a child can speak to their parent (s) without feeling wrong to do so,then just say when they feel they can ( mom / dad it's okay to not be strong all the time,I know you are human and sometimes thing can be overwhelming.) We will get through it and "we" can pray together on it. ❤️👍Pray change things.A family that preys together......love each other together.🙏
it's amazing that this well written show is not on in syndication , it captures the late 60's and very early 70's well , who actually doesn't remember being told when left alone not to answer the door or the phone i actually remember having a key to come home after sch to an empty apt to watch the TV while i did my homework and eat a PBJ and a yoo hoo till my mother would get home from work and my older brothers would never come home till way after my mother so that they wouldn't be responsible for me ""( thank god ) but it was still a good time
The television world kept her show hidden for a long time. ❤️She was a positive show for better life style for young women,young mother's.She played as a nurse in this sitcom helping young girls look toward that in their future.....❤️ I wish I could have met her and told her, she was a one hundred percent , a great actor.She paid dues for many to help brake that glass celling too....
I love the way the adults kneel to speak to the children. Proper manners is observed and absorbed just like bad manners. Just heard about Ms Carroll and I already love her. What a icon.
Such an adorable show! Raised by a single working parent myself in the early 70s I recall waiting around in our old Lincoln from time to time with my coloring books. You can’t do that these days. If there was ever a problem other adults were quick to help. Most folks in neighborhoods and small towns knew each other. People don’t look out for one another in the same way any longer.
Saw Carroll in an interview where she said she was criticized for this series because it didn’t go far enough. But as a 60s sitcom this show seems to be dealing with some serious issues, the war, single parenting, and including race. Not bad at all.
Times were sure different back then --- few people would dare leave a small child like that alone in a car like that. This show is so damn cute, I forgot how good it was.
The only time it should be forbidden is if the car is so hot, and the child so young, and the errand so long, that the child is at high risk of injury or dying. People are getting in trouble with the legal system for actions that do not even remotely endanger a child.
@@albertchavez2693 I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, which, especially then, was considered safe, but suburbans are very protective and probably stopped doing that sort of thing sooner. Still, Valley moms were generally fairly permissive until at least the '70s. Seems to me thats about when people decided the world was going to Hell.

@@kiasky1 ...Thank you, I quite agree. 🤗 Miss Carroll reminds me so very much of my own Mom in so many ways. I'm glad to be instilled with the values and manners that my parents provided, as many of us are.
Justin Aames Andy, When you look at the world today. It’s so sad. We don’t have Mother’s and grandmothers anymore. Mothers and Grandmothers think their teenagers and party with their kids. Sad 😞
@@kiasky1 That's true, but all isn't lost. There are still some mothers and fathers who are parenting in the old school way. The world would have you to believe otherwise but we know that's not true.🤗
Cool car! My mother drove a '65 Corvair Monza Sport Sedan. I remember waiting in the car while my mother interviewed for a job. This was not a unique thing back then. I loved it because I got to pretend I was driving. Brings back so many memories. Thanks for posting and God Bless You!
@@MisterRichHarris I missed it originally, so I just watched this episode again and saw the Fiat. Thanks for pointing it out to me. Additionally, I noticed Dr. Chegley drove a Jaguar. Coincidentally, my Mothers '65 Corvair was that shade of yellow with a black bucket seat interior. Later in the show, Julia drove a Navy Blue, '70 Malibu convertible, with blue bench seat interior and white top. Julia, Corey, Mrs. Waggerdorn and her son Earl, took a trip in it to nurse Yarby's wedding. Many driving scenes. Thanks again.
@CAMacKenzie I thought it was a Renault Gordini. I'll defer to your expertise. My mom drove a black Renault Dauphine in '67-'68. My now deceased older brother learned how to drive stick in that car, in the parking lot of the Thrifty's after hours. Yes... the same Thrifty's that was a casualty of the '92 uprisings.
Betty Beaird who played Marie Waggerdon was fantastic, in spite of her evident clumsiness, which is quite comical! A good supporting character in the show, as she was always a loyal friend to Julia. Shows today don't emphasize qualities like that.
Hannah Yarby (played by Lureen Tuttle) is also a very important strength of the show! A bit of a complainer, (she and Dr Chegley are as bad as each other!) but as evidenced by when she unexpectedly came to Julia's home in this episode, has a heart of gold.
I am looking for episode 4 of this series. So Diahann Fan please put it up if you can as the first three ones have been terrific! And for the record, I like Dr Chegley's brusqueness! He seems more real to me than some of these fake types you encounter these days who put it on.
It’s really trip that her leaving her six-year-old son alone in the car (or in the apartment) alone back then was excepted today. This lady would find herself in hot water with social services and her face plastered all over social media.
@10:49 Dr. Chegley says to Julia, "You have a healthy looking chest." If a doctor was to say that to a job applicant today in 2021, he would probably get sued for a million dollars. I think back and 1968 definitely were the good old days when people were a lot more relaxed and did not go ballistic about social justice all the time.
Exactly, sexual harrassment claims should go away again. We should also be able to inquire if folks work with a majority of black people to see how professional or honest their credentials are too..
I was thinking the same thing as jam. We could use this show again so many decades later. Thank you DF for postiong. Im hooked again on watching this incredible show.
Both the doctor and the nurse were racist and/or classist to her at first as well. She was sexually harassed and discriminated against all in one interview and she still had to put it aside and take the job. Can you imagine having to ignore those sexual and racial microaggressions and still work with people like that? Black people do it everyday
The nurse asked if she went to a Black school, the doctor chided his nurse for such an outrageous question, then the nurse said she did not mean it that way... I was trying to figure out what other way she could have meant it, any ideas?
@@MisterRichHarris There isn't another way to interpret that question. I've faced similar lines of questions and comments. Statements of surprise with raised eyebrows such as, "You speak so intelligently!" I'm a 57 year old, USN Hospital Corpsman Veteran. Former Civilian California LVN, and have worked for Kaiser Permanente, United Healthcare, Apria Healthcare and other national heath insurance corporations in their verification and authorization departments for the past 22 years. America has not moved forward in eliminating open racism in employment and many other areas. Factually, it's moving backwards along with voting rights. It's frightening that the hope this show inspired is withering away...
@@solemandd67 I'm dealing with some issues at my job. I'm a therapist and I have been insulted numerous times via email by 3 of my coworkers. When I reported the behavior I was told that there is nothing that can be done to stop it. I suspect it's due to racism as I am the only black therapist but if course I cannot definitively prove it. I've already said that I will leave if the behavior doesn't change. My supervisor is supposed to be having a meeting with my coworkers this week. How should I handle things moving forward?
@@user-ip5fm3ck4p 1. Retain copies of the emails you've received. 2. If you haven't, document everything you did to report it. Date, time, who you contacted, their title, and what you were told. 3. I'd file a EEOC complaint through your HR department. * I don't understand your supervisor at first stating there is nothing he could do, then backtracking by saying he'd hold a meeting later this week. I think perhaps he got a potential lawsuit epiphany or was given one by HR. Hopefully the meeting ceases the emails but if not, I'd proceed with EEOC.* Now this next part is tricky. If the person who you reported the behavior to, gave you a document saying there was nothing they could do, you have a lot of leverage. My bet is they didn't but that doesn't mean you won't win. I wouldn't ask them for it now because that may tip them off that you aren't just going to suffer/go away quietly. I'd directly contact the HR department and file with EEOC. In my documented complaint I would give them copies of the emails and independently document to HR/EEOC that I am fearful of retaliation for reporting racial harassment and discrimination in the workplace. Your employer should provide you with a private space which could be your therapy office. In all my conversations with EEOC, I'd place them on speaker phone. If the representative asks why, I'd say I'm writing notes of the conversation. In the meantime I'd secretly record the conversation. A simple hand held recorder will suffice. It has worked in my favor, after getting into the complaint to let the representative know that you aren't flying solo by saying something like, "After I presented clear evidence to John of the racial harassment I've been suffering at work, and he told me there was nothing he could do, I was legally advised to file this EEOC complaint, which I hope will cease this illegal behavior without my seeking an independent legal remedy." That let's them know you are on point. Expect them to say "If you do, it stops EEOC." Respond that you are aware of how EEOC operates and as you've stated, you sincerely hope they takes this opportunity to thoroughly investigate and remedy these racial harassment infractions. I would reference their core values/policies in comparison to the emails those (3) coworkers are sending you and focus to the representative how they obviously violate them. Document everything. Personally I'd wear jackets with the fully charged recorder inside, just in case I was suddenly "called into a meeting". I will say the EEOC process is supposed to stop any unauthorized meetings until there is a final decision. I'd also have Attorney Benjamin Crumps phone number [800-713-1222) on hand if I didn't know of a local attorney. Many times they will try to make you quit. Depending on your strength reserve, you may want to look for a better fit. Another option is going to a mental health therapist for your job harassment and taking FMLA until you have a better working environment opportunity. I hope this helps and please keep me posted. We must support each other's mental health, especially during this time when everything we've fought so hard for is under attack. I live in Dallas and worked in Plano for a very racist Healthcare provider. The only Black physician, who was female, was openly referred to as "That colored doctor" by a openly racist nursing assistant. When the nursing assistant referred to me as "that colored guy" in front of staff and within earshot of her, other staff and that of patients, she declined to join me in defending my dignity and hers when I asked her to join me in saying something to HR. Sad! I resigned because this part of Plano is very conservative and racist, too many of "us" were too scared. Although I complained to HR, I didn't feel like fighting that battle anymore. After I quit I found out that the doctor finally complained against the racist White woman but instead of termination, the practice allowed her to transfer to answering phones before she finally quit on her own.
@@solemandd67 I'm 58, also a veteran, and during the George Floyd protests I joined many pages on facebook for people of color, I'm am a POC, not Black, and on those pages I learned of atrocities like Rosewood FL, Black Wall Street massacre, Paris Texas, the Scottsboro boys, things I never heard of during my schooling in the sixties and seventies, things hidden from the public consciousness. You and I grew up a year apart, our education merrily avoided any mention of such, touching only upon the minimum, glossing over Crispus Attucks, Harriet Tubman, and M.L. King, maybe a few sentences for each, not even the tip of the iceberg. I could write pages explaining what I've learned in the past year and a half on those facebook pages for POC, but the general idea is that much has been hidden from our eyes. We don't even begin to see, those of us who have not grown up Black. I'm going to have to watch that episode again, though. I am a little surprised that I have never ever heard of this show, and I'm OLDER than you, and I'm a HUGE FAN of sixties television, yet I've never even heard of this show. That's pretty sad, pretty messed up, they swept this marvelous show under the carpet... I know just about every show that ever existed, and this was not an obscure show, this was a good show, anyway, I gotta watch that episode again and get back to you. Thanks for the reply.

TV shows back then modeled good behavior.
Julia and (dare I say it) the Bill Cosby Show portrayed politeness, "clean" humor, and respect to the elders. Today, it rarely exists...
Unlike today...all behavior modeled is sassy narcissist rude 😨😢🙃

I'd also have Attorney Benjamin Crumps phone number [800-713-1222) on hand if I didn't know of a local attorney.
Many times they will try to make you quit. Depending on your strength reserve, you may want to look for a better fit. Another option is going to a mental health therapist for your job harassment and taking FMLA until you have a better working environment opportunity.
I hope this helps and please keep me posted. We must support each other's mental health, especially during this time when everything we've fought so hard for is under attack.
I live in Dallas and worked in Plano for a very racist Healthcare provider. The only Black physician, who was female, was openly referred to as "That colored doctor" by a openly racist nursing assistant.
When the nursing assistant referred to me as "that colored guy" in front of staff and within earshot of her, other staff and that of patients, she declined to join me in defending my dignity and hers when I asked her to join me in saying something to HR. Sad!
I resigned because this part of Plano is very conservative and racist, too many of "us" were too scared. Although I complained to HR, I didn't feel like fighting that battle anymore.
After I quit I found out that the doctor finally complained against the racist White woman but instead of termination, the practice allowed her to transfer to answering phones before she finally quit on her own.
@@solemandd67 I'm 58, also a veteran, and during the George Floyd protests I joined many pages on facebook for people of color, I'm am a POC, not Black, and on those pages I learned of atrocities like Rosewood FL, Black Wall Street massacre, Paris Texas, the Scottsboro boys, things I never heard of during my schooling in the sixties and seventies, things hidden from the public consciousness.
You and I grew up a year apart, our education merrily avoided any mention of such, touching only upon the minimum, glossing over Crispus Attucks, Harriet Tubman, and M.L. King, maybe a few sentences for each, not even the tip of the iceberg. I could write pages explaining what I've learned in the past year and a half on those facebook pages for POC, but the general idea is that much has been hidden from our eyes.
We don't even begin to see, those of us who have not grown up Black. I'm going to have to watch that episode again, though.
I am a little surprised that I have never ever heard of this show, and I'm OLDER than you, and I'm a HUGE FAN of sixties television, yet I've never even heard of this show. That's pretty sad, pretty messed up, they swept this marvelous show under the carpet... I know just about every show that ever existed, and this was not an obscure show, this was a good show, anyway, I gotta watch that episode again and get back to you. Thanks for the reply.
Pena que não e dublado e a melhor série e melhor atriz

The first season was classic. Then, it started losing focus and got silly. The third season was awful.
