Nostalgia has a way of bringing back the faces we remember from our favorite old shows. This black-and-white portrait of two freckled kids in checked outfits feels like it came straight out of the 1960s. Can you tell which classic family sitcom it’s connected to?
The Quiz Question
The photo accompanies a question about Family Affair, the 1966 CBS sitcom about a bachelor uncle who suddenly becomes guardian to his orphaned nephew and nnieces. Look at the picture, read the options, and pick the one you think is right.
The Show Behind the Question
Family Affair ran from 1966 to 1971 and followed Bill Davis, a New York bachelor played by Brian Keith. When his brother and sister-in-law pass away, he takes in their children, Buffy, Jody, and Cissy, with help from his loyal butler, Mr. French, played by Sebastian Cabot.
Meet the Child Stars
Two of the show’s young stars became household names. Anissa Jones played Buffy and was one of the most recognized children on television in the late 1960s. Johnny Whitaker played Jody, and he went on to appear in films such as the 1973 adaptation of Tom Sawyer.
Why the Show Still Feels Warm
Family Affair stood out for its gentle, everyday family stories. Its mix of humor and heart made it a comfort watch then, and it still makes viewers smile when reruns appear on screen today.
