In the opening episode of Family Affair's fifth and final season, Bill (Brian Keith), his nieces Buffy (Anissa Jones) and Cissy (Kathy Garver), and his nephew Jody (Johnnie Whitaker) have been living together in New York for nearly five years. Now the time has come for Buffy and Jody to wax nostalgic over the friendliness of the neighbors in their home town of Terre Haute--especially when compared to the coldness and hostility of their current neighbors in the Big Apple. The kids try to hold a "togetherness" party for the residents of their apartment building, but the event proves to be a failure. It takes something as simple as stuck elevator for the kids' neighbors to suddenly discover that there is nothing wrong with being gracious and generous--at least temporarily.
