I bought two DVD sets of Julia Child's cooking show from the 60's recently. I remember watching the show on PBS when I was somewhere between 7 and 12 years old.
In any case it's a fun time capsule. In B&W, no high production values or slick camera moves like in today's shows. Very honest and funny, with a 60's kitchen, Julia repeating herself often and correcting mistakes on-camera, wiping her fishy hands on her backside, and chopping of fish heads with violent whacks of a huge cleaver, all the time telling you how fun it is. (From the Bouilabaisse episode). If you like cooking and you're in for some subtle humor punctuated by moments that make you laugh your head off, I recommend it.
