Family Affair Apartment Tour [CG Tour]

[@tanyafromjefferson5484]

I’m not embarrassed to say that when I don’t feel well, I get in bed and turn on Family Affair. I’m 55 and it’s still the best show around! It’s so comforting to watch. ❤

[@chaseanddrea]

Same! 😂😍

[@howardbeach8701]

Now I don't feel as bad. I'm watching Family Affair now, taking a break from some work. I'm 58 and I feel the same. I started watching the reruns in the early weeks of the pandemic. But as time went on, I noticed that I watched it when I wasn't feeling the best. What you are feeling is the release of oxytocin when you experience nostalgia while watching vintage shows from your childhood. At first, I thought it was my fear of growing old and dying, but that's not it at all.

[@marcparsons1726]

The music is therapeutic.

[@LynxSouth]

I think part of the reason for this program's popularity is that it represents security, the idea that even if something goes wrong, there will be family and people who will step up to take care of children. Whether arguments between parents make children worry that their parents will divorce, or that their mom will die like a schoolmate's mother did, or some other tragedy, children do have security issues. Here, there's not only Uncle Bill, but also Mr. French, both kind and competent, making everything alright again. I used to wish Uncle Bill was my uncle!

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

I think you summed it up nicely.

[@cornucopiaofcool2144]

FAMILY AFFAIR in the 70s Jody a rock star, Buffy a Photo Journalist Kathy marry one Bill's rich old friend. Bill does production design for all the rock bands playing the Garden. Designing stages based on his work. NYC in the 70s be a show unto itself

This channel is so classy. It’s such a nice, calm and quiet place to go for about a half hour. To temporarily live inside those houses I used to visit every week, when I was a small child. Thank you, Marina- and your staff- for providing a place to go that takes us out of today’s craziness.

The problem-solving in this one is masterful! I was very small when I saw this show- I was 3 in 1971 and I watched it in re-runs.

I haven’t watched it in years and this made me nostalgic to watch it again! Thank you.

I absolutely loved this one. Family Affair is one of my all time favorites. I always loved Uncle Bill’s apartment. Thank you for so many views and details …loved that Kathy Garver was a part of this! Your videos keep getting better and better. As someone who loves home decorating and loved these classic tv shows and movies, I always look forward to a new video from you. You’re a favorite ! Other classic tv shows homes I would love to see are: Courtship of Eddie’s Father, That Girl, Nanny and The Professor, and the original Bob Newhart Show. One kind of out of the box would be Starsky and Hutch apartments. Others Bonanza, Family Ties and Eight is Enough. Movie ones: You Got Mail ( Kathleen Kelly’s apartment), Christmas Vacation, Mary Poppins ( The Banks’ house), and The Sound of Music Thank you for all you do to bring these to us!

This is one of my favorites ever. Congratulations. What struck me was the serenity of the home. It is not filled with TVs, computers, and every toy in the world. I may just have to de-clutter my house a little. It was lovely to see 'Cissy' and hear her teenager to adult view of things. I was heart-broken when Anissa died so unnecessarily. God rest her soul. Jody was another Beaver Cleaver in some ways. Yes, they were the 'Good Old Days' for sure. I also loved the mid-century color scheme throughout the house. Great job and thank you so much.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Thank you. Glad you liked it. Funny you should bring up the character of Jody being similar to Beaver Cleaver. I was thinking that the writing for the show was similar to Leave it to Beaver, because the laughs were from the situations the kids got in and the way they worded things, rather than punchlines.

[@DadInTaiwan]

This swanky apartment was a dream for many of us youngsters growing up at that time. How exciting that you were able to get Kathy Garver to share some memories. I got the privilege of meeting Sebastian Cabot in 1973 when I was ten years old. He and another actor, Lloyd Nolan, were having dinner together at a steak restaurant attached to a bowling alley that my family frequented. The bowling alley manager knew that my sister and I would be excited to meet Mr. French so he privately told us, not wanting to bombard the two gentlemen with fans while they were eating. We went inside and met them, and I got both of their autographs (although I had no idea who Lloyd Nolan was). It was obvious that Mr. Nolan had been drinking quite a bit, but Sebastian Cabot was very friendly and gentlemanly, just like his character. It was such a cool experience for a little kid!

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Wow. What an experience. 😊

I watch 2 episodes of this show every single night. It's hard to believe how much the children change over the course of the 5 seasons. You could always tell that Uncle Bill LOVED those children!

I think they had worked together before this show? Anyway, those were definitely the days!

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Yay! Love when that happens.

[@jillmorgan7309]

This is my FAVORITE one you have ever done. I love it. Thanks for creating it.

[@sassandsavvy007]

II'm 60 years old and this is one of my favourite childhood TV series. It was synchronised by German actors as all foreign movies are here but it still was THE USA for us kids back in the day. Thank you for bringing these memories back. TV wasn't a big thing in my childhood. There were only 4 channels and only 6 hours of program on workdays, on Sundays it was like 10 hours. We spent most of our time playing outside or doing chores and homework, so watching a program was a Family Affair in itself. We all sat together watching, except for Mum who was always busy. I remember Dad trying to explain that this was a very rich and privileged American family and most people in the USA would live a much different life but I loved the characters and their home, I wouldn't care. At that age, in my opinion Americans lived either like Uncle Bill or like Hoss Cartwright... 😂

This is absolutely wonderful. Thank You and Thanks to Kathy Garver for taking the time to join in. I never noticed how many built in cabinetry were in this apartment. I see too how Jody’s room was a storage closet. It didn’t have a walk-in closet but built cabinets. As a new home sales broker we all know closets are what make the bedroom a bedroom. Great job I thoroughly enjoyed watching. I always thought if I could live in a TV show home it would be Bewitched, along with many more people but now I think this would be my dream home…and I’m a country girl. You definitely showed things I would never thought of especially the back elevator.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Good point about the closet in Jody's room. I hadn't thought of that.

Loved this show I was 9 in 1971 the last season I loved the apartment and wanted to live in Nyc I was close living in Brooklyn and Queens about it 7or 8 miles outside the city Brian keath was everyone uncle bill 💕

[@katrish786]

I love this series. Thanks for taking us on the tour. As a kid watching the show, I loved the coziness of the apartment & of course, those doors. Seeing Kathy was so special, she was my favorite character. I thought she was so pretty & I always loved her look; more grown up than Buffy & Jody but still young. It was wonderful to go back for a visit. I agree with her thoughts on why the show was loved; it was warm & friendly & felt like a safe place & it was the relationships that really stick out in my mind.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

It was a comforting show. 😊

I just found Family Affair on Peacock (free) last night! Watched the first two episodes. It is so nice to see it again.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

I'm glad it's back. It's hard to find.

@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Peacock has only the first season. Don't know if they have more with the paid sub or not.

I enjoy when you point out how certain walls or rooms changed over the years. I don't think most of us noticed since we were into watching the show. I probably still don't pay attention even though you have pointed them out.🙃

[@maritzaagosto1793]

Splendid job . I even love the music on the tours . There are a couple of of ones : Collinwood from the original Dark Shadows ( 1966 - 1971 ) . The 2 Barnaby homes ( one - Tom Barnaby / the other - John Barnaby ) from the Midsomer Murders . Thank you kindly .

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Thank you for the suggestions. And glad you like the tours.

[@clintscroggs65]

Great work again. So well done. I was always floored by this amazing home (and the middle-of-the-door knobs). I remember when Jody asked the roaming violinist at the French restaurant if he knew "Turkey in the Straw" and the way the kids pronounced their Indiana home town "Terra-HUT." I've never been there, so I don't know if that's how they really pronounce it :) Kathy is beautiful as always. I know it isn't always the case (everyone is different), but I'm happy to see stars of old shows look back with a general fondness for the experience. It's not surprising her story about Brian Keith's acting style. I always appreciated how it seemed he was never in a hurry and the show allowed him to go at his own pace. As a fan of Rifftrax (if you don't know, look it up), I recently saw Johnny in a movie from 2013 called "A Talking Cat!?!" It was fun to see him again. Thank you for doing this.

Great job. I always loved Kathy Garver as Cissy, she was one of the most likable characters on a TV family show, and I still enjoy watching Family Affair to this day. I suspect Kathy herself is just as nice as Cissy.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Thank you. I agree, Kathy seems to be a genuinely nice person.

I would love to see the Family Ties home (and Dennis the Menace)! Thank you for this video!

[@CoopyKat]

How weird I just saw the first episode of this series while channel surfing on PlutoTV a few days ago. I hadn't seen this show in years. I forgot how incredibly kind Uncle Bill was...I had a few uncles like that actually! I love these tours, and how cool your got Kathy Garver to speak with you Marina! Great job again!

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

What a nice coincidence.

[@CoopyKat]

@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Yes! And I too would LOVE to visit or better yet live in that fictional apartment!

[@Mozart2Muse]

I'm coming so late to this, but am WOWed just the same! This is spectacular work. A show that meant as much to me as FA was The Courtship of Eddie's Father...this too would make a great project for you as Eddie's Father had a very unique set. I especially loved the way that Komack would shoot the scenes into the living spaces through the sliding glass doors from outside on the terrace, into the living room and Eddie's room. Very cool 70s décor.

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

Now you have me curious. I'm going to watch some episodes to see the wayit was filmed. Sounds interesting.

[@StregaShadowWolf]

This was amazing. I loved every moment of it. This apartment is so beautiful. Sometimes I had dreams of living in there if I were to have lived in New York. It was so good that I went to watch a couple of episodes of Family Affair. It's been too long since I've seen episodes. 2 years!!!!

[@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane]

It is an amazing apartment! Glad you enjoyed the tour.

[@gordendavisjr]

wow... that amazing looking to watching all the episode

When we were kids, my siblings and I always said "Uncle Beeeel" the way Buffy and Jody said it.

Outstanding. Had to be so difficult with all those angles but you tied everything together so well. Love how you reason missing pieces out. And thanks for including the square feet. (And I thought the Jefferson's apartment was big.)

I watched this show as a kid in reruns, I don't remember it except I remember watching it a lot, so I must have liked it. I understand the confusion regarding piecing together floor layouts with only pictures to reference, I've done the same at my job many times. Excellent work, thank you.
