I found this on Amazon Prime, never heard of it. I was at a loose end so gave it a whirl, and sadly i have now finished all 5 seasons. It is such a shame CBC cancelled this.
I loved it, and Brian Keith was great as the uncle who has never had to care about children before, and Sebastion Cabot as the butler was just brilliant.
The children cast in this show were just perfect for the parts.
I wont talk about the contents as there is so much to see but all I can say is if you just want to watch a series with good old fashioned values again, and children not misbehaviour badly then give this a whirl, besides which Brian Keith is sure eye candy and plays a wonderful part which is believeable.
It is a sad thing that the children of this show did not fair well after it ended, and that the main characters passed away, the lovely and talented child actress who played Buffy Anissa Jones sadly died at 18 through a drug overdose, and Johnny Whitaker who played her twin brother Jody had his own issues with substance abuse but thankfully got through it but we lost the great Sebastian Cabot and Brian Keith to early.
Besides all that this is a lovely program about family values and it is timeless as doing well now in 2018 after its first ever episode aired in1966 and has not jaded since then.
