Family can’t stay apart forever. Family Affair stars Kathy Garver and Johnny Whitaker recently reunited on an episode of Oprah: Where Are They Now?, Huffington Post reports.
The two are the last surviving castmemebers of the CBS sitcom, which followed a single man’s attempt to raise his deceased brother’s children. Brian Keith, Sebastian Cabot, and Anissa Jones also starred. The series ran for five seasons before ending in 1971.
Apparently, the team from Oprah: Where Are They Now? reached out to Whitaker while interviewing Garver. The two hadn’t seen each other in nearly a decade and resolved some of their frustrations from over the past few decades.
Take a look at the clip below:

Why was Family Affair cancelled so abruptly?
CBS decided, wrongly of course, to cancel all shows that had to do or thrill Town life or families. ABC was going to take over the show but thought at the last minute it was too much like The Brady Bunch and so it was canceled and ceremoniously.
The network decided that all of the home spun shows had to be canceled because they wanted to create all new shows with controversial themes. All in the Family was one of those new shows. The shows that had been canceled all had good ratings.
