Family Affair: All Around the Town (1967)
Season 1, Episode 17
6/10
"Maybe New York is a foreign country"
12 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Can you imagine what it would be like if this episode was filmed today? (2023) Why the alley scene alone would have been a nightmare. The walls are covered in graffiti, homeless folks lining the path, and perhaps a n'er-do-well scallawag pedaling drugs, porn or worse. Oh and throw in human trafficking and Pedos everywhere; frightening.

The $20 bill in Buffy's hand would have been swiped within the hour of the kids' journey. And having a cop assigned to the case straightaway, fagitaboutit! Best case scenario would be an Amber Alert. Worst case is the precinct is inundated with high priority calls.

Then again, this could be any big town USA.
