I'm watching the end of this latest eppy now, where French was mixed in with these Indian people, and I saw him smoking from a hookah, and almost got married lol!!!


Seems like he came back home and had some "trouble" articulating simple conversation and almost didn't know where he was, nor the time of day...


This is just too funny....I'm glad I got to see this many yrs later than the 1st time I saw it as a kid back when it was aired originally...

Oh wow !! How cool!!! :eek: I vaguely remember seeing this as a kid! I'd really love to see it again!;) What season was it from?

How funny, I wonder what was in that hookah??:cool::crazy::lol:

It's from the 1st season, cuz Buffy and Jody are still "tiny tots" and hadn't been too long living there...

They're starting from the beginning of the season again on Decades TV

Sebastian Cabot is absent in about 10 episodes from the 1st season, I believe he had an illness of some sort. The actor John Williams was brought in to take his place.

Yeah, I just googled it and found out ! ;) Did the viewers know about what happened back then? My Mom didn't, I of course wanted to know what happened to original Mr. French ? And my Mom didn't know ! We called Niles "Skinny Mr. French " ! :D Wow, 10 eps.I didn't realize it was that many eps.Giles was absent ? :eek:

I imagine there probably was a mention in one of the TV Guide's back in 1966 or 67 that Sebastian Cabot would be absent from some Family Affair episodes and John Williams would be filling in.

That's great if you found a good deal for the season 1 DVD, enjoy watching the episodes after you get the package. :D I've found some good DVD deals on Ebay also. :)

Yeah, they probably did have something in writing about it like you said the TV guide or something so the viewers weren't left wondering ! I guess my Mom missed the article!? :crazy::D

I'm looking forward to getting this DVD to see a stoned chubby Mr. French and Skinny Mr. French ! :lol:

Tell 'em a hookah-smoking gentleman's gentleman
Won't be making Yorkshire pudding anymore
Go ask Buffy
She's at the toy store :crazy:
