Family Affair first aired in September 1966 and ran until 1971. I wasn’t even three years old when it started, so I didn’t begin watching it until much later. At the beginning of this year, I binge-watched every season. That’s when I realized I had never seen the earlier years. So precious! Buffy and Jody were so little and cute!
I played with these paper dolls so much, and I look forward to introducing my little granddaughter(s) to them someday soon. What a great, wholesome show with good life lessons in every episode!
At my young age back then, I secretly wanted to live in a high-rise apartment building and play in Central Park every day. It was such a different world than mine. Cissy was so pretty—someone to be admired by a little girl my age. Uncle Bill, bless his heart, could be a little rough around the edges, but he had been thrust into the role of a father with no experience whatsoever. He had a big heart and always softened at just the right time.
I loved Mr. French, too. He was a no-nonsense boundary setter, but he loved and cared for the children like no other. He even took care of Mrs. Beasley, Buffy’s doll. I always wanted a Mrs. Beasley doll and guess what? I got one, finally, for my 59th birthday. She's in perfect condition and still talks!
For those of you who will, answer these questions: What was your favorite childhood book or movie? What toys or special moments do you hold close that are precious and deeply ingrained in your forever memory?
