I don't understand the need to update this particular show now AND place it in this suicidal slot. It was a hit in the late '60s, but I don't see it becoming one now. My Analysis & Prediction 13 max, although this could easily be the first to go. I can't see Gary Cole in this role (rhyme unintentional) for an extended period of time. Numbers are different at the WB, but I cannot see this finding ANY audience at all. (WB has a financial interest thru Turner; both AOL Time Warner.) What They Say An updated version of the late '60s show about a Manhattan bachelor and his proper English butler who find their lives turned upside down when they are put in charge of a teen girl and 6-year-old twins. The '60s family comedy "Family Affair" is remade with a modern setting. Carefree bachelor Bill (Gary Cole) and his proper butler Mr. French (Tim Curry) suddenly find themselves as caretakers for three orphaned children. link A handsome and wealthy businessman, Bill Davis (Gary Cole, The Brady Bunch movies, Office Space) has a high-powered career, a stunning penthouse on Central Park East, a succession of beautiful women and a dignified old-school British butler, Mr. French (Tim Curry, Charlie's Angels), to make sure his life runs according to plan. Bill's life of blissful bachelorhood was years in the making, but it is destroyed in a single day with the arrival of two 6-year-old twins and their 14-year-old sister. From 1966 to 1971, Family Affair was a heartwarming family comedy that shaped television history. Blending the same comical dilemmas and heartfelt family values that made the original show a hit, Family Affair has been rejuvenated and fast-forwarded to the current day with The WB's unique flair...
