Julia Roberts earned an Oscar as ‘Erin Brockovich’

Thanks to such huge successes as “Pretty Woman” and “My Best Friend’s

Julia Roberts pretty much had her choice of roles by the time the title part in “Erin

ich” came her way. The fact-based 2000 drama will be shown Wednesday, July 16, on Starz Encore and Thursday, July 17, on Starz – with Roberts in an engaging, commanding and ultimately Oscar-winning portrayal of a single mother who finds work with an attorney (an also-excellent Albert Finney) and takes up a case of alleged groundwater contamination. For any and all setbacks, the duo remains committed to getting a sizable settlement for the plaintiffs, who number more than 600. Director Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter Susannah Grant also delve into Erin’s personal life, with Aaron Eckhart doing fine work as her unconventional boyfriend. Clearly a great showcase for Roberts, the picture’s popularity expectedly raised the profile of the real-life Brockovich and her further crusades for justice. Marg Helgenberger, Peter Coyote, Cherry Jones and Conchata Ferrell are among other notable cast members.

“Mama’s Family” (Catchy Comedy, Sunday, July 13): “The Carol Burnett Show” yielded this spinoff series that gets an all-day “Binge” marathon (it also runs weekdays on the channel), with a heavily made-up Vicki Lawrence as the sassy Mama, the matriarch of a Southern family that engages regularly in pointed barbs. Burnett, Harvey Korman and Betty White were recurring guest stars, but the humor was left largely to a weekly cast that also included Ken Berry, Dorothy Lyman and (in the first two seasons) a pre-”Golden Girls” Rue McClanahan. The sitcom launched on NBC in 1983-84, then resumed very successfully in first-run syndication from 1986 to 1990.
