Family Affair: The New Cissy (1968)
What was wrong with the old Cissy?
I thought this episode was weird. The plot line is that Cissy thinks none of the boys at school like her and want to go out with her. She says she freezes up when she talks to a boy. But there has been no evidence of this in other episodes! She always seemed to have a date. And she previously had boys come over to meet Uncle Bill. So the idea that the boys at her school no longer like her or want to date her really comes out of nowhere. In the episode where the family goes back to Indiana for a family reunion, she is asked to the prom by a local boy. In another episode, she is trying to get Uncle Bill meet the boy who wants to go steady with her. And yet another episode she has an after-school party in order for Uncle Bill to meet her current boyfriend as well as some of her other friends at school. However, in this episode ***spoiler*** only one person shows up to a party she plans ***spoiler*** So this episode does not make much sense.
The Naked Brothers Band (2007)
Another positive vote
I am a mom of an 8 year old boy who loves the show. When the music comes on he gets up and dances. I watched the episodes before the movie. I do want to correct one poster's comment on Quasseem. The first video that is shot (in the original movie) there is a young black boy with an Jimi Hendrix afro. But it's not Quasseem. It's a friend of theirs named Cole who had moved to Conn. He was a founding member of the band. (It had formed while Nat was in preschool.) But like I said he had moved. Years later, when Nat and Alex wanted to get back to the original roots of the Naked Brothers Band, they asked Cole to join them. This kid obviously is no longer in the band. I have no idea when and how Quaseem joined. There is also another kid that's in the band in the movie but no longer in the series. Forgot his name.
I liken this show to the Partridge Family which I loved as a child. I had the hugest crush on David Cassidy. In fact, the recent episode where Nat and Alex wrote the same song remind of the PF episode when Danny and Keith wrote the same song.
