LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - The actress who played Cissy on the first
incarnation of "Family Affair" will make a guest appearance on the updated version

I was hoping they would do this, any chance the other 'surviving' member , John Whitacker, will be on?

Looks, like some 'wholesome' TV is back on for Children of all ages

For anyone who was wondering, yes, Johnnie Whittaker will also appear on the new show during the same episode that Kathy Garver will be on. That episode will air this Thursday. Get those VCrs warmed up!
