It's a family affair

Product Information

Family Affair ran for 138 episodes in five seasons. The show was created and produced by Edmund Hartmann and Don Fedderson, also known for My Three Sons and The Millionaire. The theme song was composed by veteran television composer Frank DeVol. The opening featured credits appearing over a kaleidoscopic view of a multicolored array of gems and precious stones, suggesting "family jewels". A year prior to the series, Bill's brother Bob and his wife Mary were killed in a car crash in Indiana, orphaning their three children – teenager Cissy, and younger twins Jody and Buffy. His other relatives believe that Bill is the one most capable of supporting them, so the three move in with him in New York. Consequently, Bill's bachelor lifestyle gets turned upside down. Johnny Whitaker as Jody Davis - Keith suggested Whitaker for the role. Jody and Buffy were originally supposed to be different ages, but after seeing how good Whitaker looked with Anissa Jones, who had already been cast, the producers decided to change them to twins.

While the characters themselves didn't really have too much depth in and of themselves, the scenery chosen for their episode sets each of the 10 sisters apart from one another. There's really quite the variety: a masochistic maid, a pining office worker, and a dutiful kendo girl just to name a few. As far as protagonists go, Keisuke isn't too bad either. He seems to change his personality to suit whatever sister he's seducing at the moment so we see him acting the role of the confused youth pulled into an older woman's clutches and then minutes later we see him in the dominant position.I initially started watching this show as part of my train chikan project. I don't remember how I found out about the train scene, but I did and here I am writing a review. OK just to preface: this show is basically comprised of short (4min) scenarios involving Keisuke and one of his sisters (not blood related) engaged in various lewd behaviors. There is a focus on big breasts with each girl having huge watermelon-sized tits, as well as pretty prevalent themes such as public sex, defloration, and facials. Other fetishes also make appearances such as lactation, anal, bdsm,soapy massage, train groping, and then something

A remake [10] of Family Affair aired on The WB from September 12, 2002 to March 13, 2003. The remake was produced by Sid & Marty Krofft Pictures, Pariah Films, and Turner Television.

Indiana native William "Bill" Davis is a successful civil engineer who develops major projects all over the world. A wealthy bachelor, Bill lives in a large apartment in Manhattan's Upper East Side, and has a British manservant, Giles French (usually called "Mr. French" or just "French"), as his valet. One's health and aging cannot be uncoupled from the family system in which it occurs. Not only do families provide genetic material that determines major health risks and outcomes, families also share a culture, environment, and lifestyle that further influence health and aging trajectories. As well, family members are interconnected, so that an illness or a positive lifestyle change in one person can have reverberating effects on the health and well-being of others in the family system. This essay explores how families have the potential to both promote and threaten individual health and well-being, thereby influencing how an individual might age or experience later life. Weaving together personal biographies from three different authors, this essay provides specific examples of how the family affects the health and aging of individuals and how the health and aging of individuals affect the larger family unit. These dynamic processes have the potential to positively or negatively shape individual experiences of health and aging, even among those persons who are not yet in late life. This essay blends a developmental life course perspective with a dynamic family-systems approach to show how families engage in collaborative efforts throughout the life course, in which they both affect and are affected by the diagnosis and management of chronic diseases and the adoption of health promoting behaviors. Applying this perspective to the study of health and aging calls for interdisciplinary thinking, as well as novel methodological and quantitative solutions. Gold Key Comics, an imprint of Western Publishing, published four issues of a Family Affair comic book series from January to October 1970. [11]

When Sebastian Cabot became ill, Giles' brother, Nigel "Niles" French ( John Williams) was introduced.
