The show ran for 138 episodes. Family Affair was created and produced by Don Fedderson, best known for My Three Sons.
Brian Keith was nominated three times for an Emmy for his role as "Uncle Bill." The theme music was composed by Frank De Vol.
Buffy's doll "Mrs Beasley", which she constantly carried with her, became a popular toy in real life in the United States.
Production
Like Don Fedderson's other program, My Three Sons, Family Affair utilized a sixty-day production schedule for Brian Keith. All of his scenes for the season would be shot in two thirty-day blocks, while his co-stars would fill in after the actor's work was completed. This enabled Fedderson to harness actors like Keith and Fred MacMurray into television commitments, while still enabling each to make motion pictures. As a result, each season had a single director for each of the thirty-odd scripts.
The original series was extremely popular, but was canceled after the fifth season, as CBS began leaning towards more adult-oriented sitcom fare. The series was almost picked up by ABC, but the network instead decided to promote the similarly-themed The Brady Bunch.
Brief revival
A short-lived revival of the series aired on The WB Television Network from September 12 2002 to March 13 2003. This version was produced by Turner Television for Warner Bros. Television and lasted for 16 episodes (14 of the 16 were aired). Although the one-hour pilot had good ratings, the subsequent episodes declined against stronger competition such as Friends. Johnnie Whitaker and Kathy Garver appeared in the Christmas episode.
