Hey, I Remember This Show: Julia

It may be hard for some younger folks to believe this now in an era in which African-American women frequently play doctors and lawyers but this show was considered quite progressive in some quarters when it debuted back in 1968. (Then again, it was considered too apolitical in other quarters but that's a subject for another time.) In any event, this is the TV show which made actress Diahann Carroll a star and proved that TV shows which did not present African-Americans in stereotypical roles could be successful.

Then again my last girlfriend was a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) so I tend to be biased in favor of shows like this.
