Julia (1968-1971)

Julia was a ground-breaking TV series that ran for 86 episodes on the NBC network. It didn't get everything right, but what it did get right was right for a six-year-old like me -- just another kid who wanted his mother's attention.

"Oh, I like you Mister!" says Julia to her son, Corey, after he agreed to her terms.

"I like me, too," says Corey, followed by canned laughter (added by Fox when the series was reissued for syndication and cable rebroadcasts in the late-1980s).

"It's very important," says Julia. "A man has got to like himself."

"You know why I like me?" Corey asks.

"Why?" asks his mother.

"Cause I like what you like, and you like me."

"I sure do Corey Baker!"
