 Still A Joy To Watch But Where Is Part Two Of Johnnie Whitaker 's Memories?
This fifth and final season still holds up, even to the last episode. The only problem is the promised second half of Johnnie Whitaker's memories.
The only extra feature is Kathy Garver's CBS Studio tour. April 28, 2008

 Family Affair: the last season
Season 5, the last season has really good episodes like the one where Buffy nearly gives up Mrs. Beasley and Cissy brings home a pregnant friend. Buffy and Jody had an innocence about them; they were sweet kids. Not like kids are on tv nowadays. It was a different era.

I liked that Kathy Garver takes us on a backstage tour of CBS studios where Family Affair was taped and we get to see where the set was. Although Family Affair was filmed in Hollywood, it had that New York City feel to it in the 60's. April 21, 2008

 Final season
I hate to see this series come to a close but I am glad I now have all of them on DVD. I love this wholesome show and my kids also really enjoy it. My girls just love Buffy. Even in this last season, where the kids are cutiness has pretty much worn off, the show is still very entertaining. It sure beats most of the things on tv today that are considered entertainment. In this set we get more special features with Kathy Garver. I am not sure why they did not include a Part II interview with Johnny Whitaker. Season 4 had a Part I interview with him, so I assumed we'd get a part two with this set. Unfortunately we don't. I am still very please with this set and love how quickly they released the entire series. Great job, MPI! Now I can finally watch this series to my heart's content. February 28, 2008

 They don't make 'em like that anymore
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. February 12, 2008
