old tv show
SJS
with Buffey, Jodie, Uncle Bill, and Mr. French. Especially
Mr. French. Boy was he cool. Does anybody remember Buffey's
and Jodie's sister's name?
Good bye.
Suzanne Usiskin
Wasn't her name "Sissy"? Do you know what happened to her? As
far as I know, Mr. French has passed away, as did Buffey by drug
od at age 18. And I heard Jodie became a missionary in Africa.
Does anyone know if any of this is correct?

Of course, What else!?!?! it's................Sissy

Cissy. As a matter of fact, here in the Baltimore area, channel 24 shows
reruns of *Family Affair* every evening.

Does anybody remember the name of the girl who played Buffy? I believe
she died of a heroin overdose at quite a young age.
Also, there used to be a pair of shows on Friday night: one was "Year At
The Top," which starred Paul Shaffer (!) and Greg Evigan, and the other
was a variety show featuring two brothers. I think they were called the
Keane Brothers, or the McKean Brothers, something like that. Can anyone
out there help? Wonder what they're doing now? I remember that they
once did a song in honor of Amy Carter, so you know it was long ago!

ZUCKER
Her name was Sissy or Cissy or Cissie or however you want to spell it!

I remember "Family Affair":
Mr. French was played by Sebastian Cabot, who died in the late seventies
(possibly early eighties) after a stroke.
Uncle Bill was played by Brian Keith who can currently be seen on "Hardcastle
and McCormick".
I don't remember who played Jody or whatever became of him.
I don't remember who played Buffy, but I do remember that OD'ed.
The older sister was Sissy, but I don't remember anything about her.
I used to watch it a lot when I was about 10 or so, but I really can't
remember ANY episodes (except for one where Buffy and Jody sneak off (I
can't remember why? To join the circus? I seem to be under the impression
they were in France.) and get involved in some hairy adventure).
That is all.

CISSY -
Boy _DO_ I remember this show!!! I had a Mrs. Beasley doll. You must
remember Mrs. Beasley - blue polka-dot dress, grey hair, glasses, and if I
remember she talked too. I also had ----get this----- an original Buffy
creation, a green pantsuit that looked like the upholstery in my brother's
Pinto.
If I remember right there was another butler before Mr French(Sebastion Cabot)
moved in but I don't remember who played him.

of the most mindless show ever to be presented to the TV viewing
public. What kind of brainless idiots could possibily create shows
such as these, write scripts for them, not to mention have their names
associated them in the credits, is beyond me. And what could have
been going through the feeble brains of the feeble brained TV
executives as they approved and funded these shows, we may never know.
And what's this about Mr. French? Mr. French! Neat, huh? Well, I
always thought of him as some big 'ole fat <explicative deleted>
from, what's the name of that country over there, 'cross the Atlantic,
uh, New Zealand, or France, or Canada, or something like that. Yeah,
it was probably France.
And, while I'm on the subject, is there really a person with the name
``epic'' as the original poster's user id would suggest? Maybe it's
some bird-brained TV junkie figgerin' out some new TV show angle about two
little kids with their Uncle Burt and their zany antics as they live
in their ``survival condominium'' in Utah in the year 2525.
Or maybe Brooklyn! (Whots da maddah wit dat???)
So netnews-ers and netnews-ettes, is this the good word, or what?

P.S The word ``zany'' was entered by my finger tips at the expense
of excruciating pain. Sorry.

>I don't remember who played Jody or what became of him.
Jody was played by Johnny Whitaker (sp?), later to become
a Saturday morning kiddies' favorite on (what else?) "Sigmund
and the Sea Monsters". (That was the one where the sea monsters
watched shell-o-vision, answered the shell-o-phone by saying
"shello", and had for monetary currency, of course, clams. A
true classic.)
Johnny also starred in the musical movie version of "Tom Sawyer"
as the title character. Not such a bad flick, as a remember when
I saw it when I was 10.
As far as I know he is still alive and kicking and unemployed.
I don't know who played Buffy or Sissy.
I also remember that there was indeed another Mr. French, who
appeared after Sebastian Cabot left the show. He was supposed
to be the original's brother or cousin or something, thus
still went by the name "Mr. French".
Incindentally, Uncle Bill was of course Brian Keith. On the
show he was supposed to be a civil engineer; thus the family
could always travel to exotic locales (I remember Barcelona
in particular) so Uncle Bill could build a bridge.

I seem to recall am episode in which she was thinking about marrying
some prince (or some rather wealthy young man) from some European (?)
country. His father referred to Sissy as Catherine (or is it
Katherine?). This was the same episode where she changed her hair
style.
