Product Description

Family Affair was a popular situation comedy and a regular top 20 hit show produced by Don Fedderson Productions for CBS-TV during its five-year run from 1966-71.
Brian Keith stars as bachelor Bill Davis, a highly-paid engineering consultant who lives in a posh Manhattan apartment with his proper English manservant, Mr. Giles French (Sebastian Cabot). Davis carefree existence is turned upside down when his brother and sister-in-law die suddenly in a tragic plane accident, leaving their three children orphaned. Davis becomes an instant father figure to six year-old twins, Buffy and Jody (Anissa Jones, Johnnie Whitaker) and their big sister, Cissy (Kathy Garver).

5.0 out of 5 stars The final year for a still vibrant, still viable series..., December 14, 2007

By	jon sieruga (Redlands, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The "Family Affair" gang moves surprisingly steadily into their 5th and final season with some wonderful episodes for a quickly-maturing Buffy (ingratiating as always). She nearly bids farewell to faithful companion Mrs. Beasley in episode 22, and tangles with Paris Hilton's mom in episode 20 ("The Joiners" aka "The Mod Maidens"). In episode 4, Uncle Bill hires help for Mr. French in the guise of Nancy Walker as Emily (who makes sporadic appearances throughout the year). Kathy Garver's Cissy seems awfully busy with school during this season and is kept rushing in and out (books in hand), though she does bring over a very pregnant houseguest in episode 9 (how much you wanna bet the baby decides to arrive unexpectedly?). Although it's sad to see "Family Affair" reach the end of its run, the worthy stories get spread about pretty evenly, and all the Davises get their share of the spotlight. Farewell Davis Family!

4.0 out of 5 stars They don't make 'em like that anymore, February 12, 2008

By	Todd Boatwright - See all my reviews

I have all four seasons of Family Affair on DVD and am looking forward to receiving Season 5.
Why do I continue to turn to them and turn off cable? The shows bring back fond memories of my childhood. They're simple, honest stories with a comedic edge to them. They're enduring and stand up to more modern sitcoms replete with sexual references, four-letter words, etc.
My 12 year old niece just happened to see an episode of FA recently and was mesmorized. She asked, "Why don't they have t-v shows like this today?"
A totally honest question from someone who didn't have anything to compare the modern-day t-v shows to.
I highly recommend all five seasons of Family Affair. As a member of the television media, I believe its so important that what goes out over the airwaves and into young minds is positive and thought-provoking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such an Entertaining Family Show, January 18, 2008

By	' Groovin' guy "music historian" - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This show was wonderful.

I wish we still had family tv shows like this.

The whole cast Uncle Bill,Mr. French, Jody and Buffy and Sissy. It was a heart warming show and many times very touching and profound. I think children today would love it and learn from it.
I recommend this to parents for thier children, for a show that parents and the children will be delighted by.
