Review of Julia

Julia (1968–1971)
6/10
horrid mix-up in episodes cast list
22 March 2007
I enjoyed the series and was sorry to see it canceled... apparently Diahann Carroll was finding it too stressful.

The episodes list is extremely fouled up. I checked another series (Hogan's Heroes) for a hint of the episode numbering format, so here goes.

First, delete all cast occurrences of Diahann Carroll (Julia Baker), Marc Copage (Corey Baker), Michael Link (Earl J. Waggedorn), Betty Beaird (Marie Waggedorn) and Lloyd Nolan (Dr. Chegley) as they appear in most or all episodes. Correct spelling of Hannah Yarby in some episodes.

Second, re-sequence episodes so they're in date order, probably by renumbering some episodes (none should be higher than Episode 30!).

Season 1, Episode 8 has a non-conforming date.

Season 2: Episode 10 and Episode 40 should be merged as Episode 10. Episode 33 should be Episode 3. Ep 34 should be Ep 4. Episode 36 should be Episode 6. Episode 38 should be Episode 8. Episode 42 should be Episode 12. Episode 12 ("Hilda's No Help") should be Episode 13. Episode 46 should be Episode 16. Episode 48 should be Episode 18. Episode 52 should be Episode 22. Episode 53 should be Episode 23. Episode 54 should be Episode 24. Episode 57 should be Episode 27. Episode 59 should be Episode 29.

Season 3: Episodes 61/62/63 should be Episodes 1/2/3 respectively. Episode 6's air date should probably be 20 October. I don't know where Episode "66" belongs. Episodes 67/68/69 should be Episodes 7/8/9 respectively. Episode 74 should be Episode 14. Episode 80 should be Episode 20.

Missing episodes total 36, which would include the three at the bottom marked "Unknown Season", would be: Season 1, Ep 3 (1 October 1968), Ep 4 (8 October), Ep 5 (15 October), Ep 8 (5 or 12 November), Eps 9 to 13 (5 of the 6 dates from 12 Nov to 17 Dec), Ep 15 (31 Dec 1968), Ep 16 (7 Jan 1969), Ep 17 (14 January); Ep 19 (28 January), Ep 22 (18 Feb), Ep 23 (25 Feb), Ep 25 (11 March), Ep 26 (18 March), Ep 27 (25 March). (18 missing) Season 2, Ep 1 (16 Sept 1969), Ep 7 (4 November), Ep 14 (23 or 30 December), Ep 15 (30 Dec 1969 or 6 January 1970), Ep 17 (20 January), Ep 19 (3 February), Ep 20 (10 February), Ep 25 (17 March), Ep 28 (14 April). (9 missing) Season 3, Ep 10 (24 November 1970), Ep 11 (1 December 1970), Ep 13 (15 or 22 December 1970), Ep 15 (5 January 1971), Ep 18 (26 January), Ep 21 (16 February), Ep 22 (23 February), Ep 24 (9 March), Ep 26 (23 March). (9 missing) One of the missing episodes is titled "Father of Bribery", and might be Richard's first appearance. Another missing episode featured Corey's television hero, Captain Blastoff. That would leave 31 still missing.

I hope the episode numbers can be corrected, while leaving gaps, of course, for the missing episodes.
