User Reviews

Cissy's new friend Dana is a seemingly sophisticated society type. Cissy takes on some new characteristics, in an attempt to be more like Dana. Cissy drops the "uncle" when addressing Bill. She also disrespects Mr. French in the same way. The story doesn't follow an obvious path. Dana's whole dynamic turns out to be nothing but a smoke screen. Due to her parents' indifference to her, Dana actually envies what Cissy has. Initially, I didn't care too much for the Dana character. By the end of the episode, I could only sympathize with her. Dana felt like she was unloved by her parents. That's very sad. Liam Sullivan played Dana's father. I couldn't quite take him seriously. This is because I kept thinking about an appearance he made, as an alien, on Lost in Space! In all seriousness, however, this is one of the finest Family Affair episodes. Note: If it seemed like I was criticizing Cissy, I wasn't! I was only stating what she did, and she quickly saw the error in her behavior. Kathy Garver could have played an axe murderer, and I think she still would have turned me on!
