Julia is an American television sitcom that debuted in 1968. The show starred actress and singer Diahann Carroll in the first American television series to star an African American woman playing a character who was not a servant or slave, and ran for 86 episodes on NBC from September 17, 1968, to March 23, 1971. The series was produced by Savannah Productions, Inc., Hanncarr Productions, Inc., and 20th Century-Fox Television.
During pre-production, the proposed series title was Mama's Man. The series was among the few situation comedies in the late 1960s that did not use a laugh track; however, 20th Century-Fox Television added one when the series was reissued for syndication and cable rebroadcasts in the late 1980s.
Julia was among the first acquisitions made by ASPiRE for its inaugural season in 2012.
