Growing up in the 1970's, this was my favourite sit com.
But I don't think I got to watch all the episodes. So many other shows from that era are now on DVD, why can't we have Julia Baker donning her nurse's uniform, on our screens.
It comes out on Aspire & I love it! If it's not on DVD already, I hope it comes out soon - this show is AWESOME!!!
shareI voted for Julia on "TVSHOWSONDVD" you could do that As I would KILL to have Julia on DVD
sharethe show should come out on dvd as it was a wonderful show!
shareI got the dvds currently on ioffer, filmed from 16mm prints, and I have to say that the show has dated very badly and isn't very funny (as a kid, this was among my favorite shows, so this was quite a shock) -- also towards the end it resembled a regular 1971 sitcom rather than the groundbreaking show it was back in 1968.
Still, I agree -- 20th Century Fox should release a 'complete series' set of this show (it was produced by William Self) and should have Diahann Carroll and the surviving cast do audio commentaries of their favorite episodes. I'm a big Lloyd Nolan fan so I certainly hope the show eventually gets released.
In the first paragraph of your post you stated the television series "Julia" hadn't aged well, but in your second paragraph stated the series should still be released on DVD. Show some conviction. If the series is a "stinker," or even if just mediocre, don't contradict yourself just to be politically correct.
In a business world short on finances for such undertakings, only the best television series' deserve to be released on home video (including to streaming services such as Amazon, Hulu and Netflix).
And actually, truth be told, many TV series' haven't really stood the test of time, including some so-called "classics." What was humorous in 1955 or 1975 isn't necessarily funny in 2015. Why TV networks insist on still airing such insipid shows such as "The Beverly Hillbillies" "Gilligan's Island," and "Welcome Back, Kotter" is beyond my comprehension. But many episodes of even such allegedly better written shows such as "Car 54, Where Are You?," "You'll Never Get Rich (a/k/a The Phil Silvers Show"), and "The Honeymooners" just aren't especially funny anymore (if they ever even were), show a very narrow element of Jewish/Yiddish theater humor (understandable, as most TV writers are and were Jewish, with left-wing political ideology; this is not coincidental as media is used as propaganda) not appealing to a broader audience of the 21st Century.
