Tim Curry returns to series television this fall as the haughty old-school British butler Mr. French in The WB's update of the classic series Family Affair.
Blending the same comical dilemmas and family values that made the original show a hit, Family Affair has been rejuvenated with a unique WB flair, set in the present. 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's), 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.
