Family Affair was a popular situation comedy and a regular top 20 hit show produced by Don Fedderson Productions for CBS-TV during its five-year run from 1966-71.

Brian Keith stars as bachelor Bill Davis, a highly-paid engineering consultant who lives in a posh Manhattan apartment with his proper English manservant, Mr. Giles French (Sebastian Cabot). Davis' carefree existence is turned upside down when his brother and sister-in-law die suddenly in a tragic car accident, leaving their three children orphaned. Davis becomes an instant father figure to six-year old twins, Buffy and Jody (Anissa Jones, Johnnie Whitaker) and their big sister, Cissy (Kathy Garver). Despite their reservations, Davis and French grow attached to the children. Through humorous trial and error, coupled with big doses of love and patience, the five become a real family.

Family Affair Season 5 contains 24 episodes on 4 discs and includes never-before-seen bonus features.

As was mentioned in the review, 12 of the 24 episodes begin with brief intros. 7 are with Sebastian Cabot, and 5 are with Anissa Jones and Johnnie Whitaker. If this is something that was done for the fifth season, I would assume then that all the episodes should have these intros. I wonder if Brian Keith and Kathy Garver also did intros for the episodes, but those weren't put on the DVD's? It's odd to have half of the episodes with the intros, and the other half without. Perhaps someone can clear up the mystery?
