Cissy's boyfriend Gregg

[maire]

Love Uncle Bill's death stare when Gregg comments to Cissy before they leave for the graduation party that he will get to see what she looks like in the morning.

Gregg has to deal with 3 people who sort of question his suitability to "court" Cissy.

First we have French, who is more accustomed to young men who are very formal in both demeanor and attire. Informal means or approaches, leading to getting together with Cissy, will not "fly" so easily.

Then there's Bill, who must be questioning whether a service station attendant could eventually support Cissy suitably in a marriage. Gregg is certainly polite in his presence, but nervousness can hinder his ability to say the right things.

Finally, in the final season, Emily disapproves of the length of his hair.

Protectiveness of the unmarried daughter is not an uncommon TV sitcom theme, as had been seen for example on Make Room for Daddy. Family Affair takes a very gentle approach to the humor. By contrast, look at the father of the girl Eb wants to marry on Green Acres; look at Uncle Joe's reaction to Orrin Pike on Petticoat Junction. There is downright meanness and unreasonable behavior that would never occur on a show like FA.
