7:00 Julie

For those that don't know, that TV series starred singer/actress Julie Amato, and it ran on the CTV network from 1976-78 (a YouTube video compilation she made several years ago can be found at

). I was able to watch some episodes of her show while living in the city of my youth, Cleveland Heights, OH, when CTV affiliate CKCO-TV, either out of Kitchener or Sarnia/Chatham, Ontario, would sometimes come in. I was a fan then, and I still am a fan of her today, because her singing voice is one of the best.
