Credited as Robert Keith Jr.

I watched a Tales of Tomorrow episode last night in which my wife recognized “Uncle Bill”, The credits listed “Robert Keith Jr.”, and so it would seem it was the actor who later used the name Brian Keith. I don't know how to determine the extent of his use of that name, however.--SportWagon (talk) 19:51, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

I remember seeing him billed that way too. There must be some way of sourcing that. --Stetsonharry (talk) 20:56, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

IMDb says he also has performed under the name Robert Keith, Jr. But who's sourcing whom? IMDb sources from WP, and WP sources from IMDb? Hard to know. JohnClarknew (talk) 09:24, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Cancellation

Read this paragraph closely: "By the end of its 5th season in 1971, Family Affair was still the most popular show, but CBS decided to end the show, after 138 episodes. The reason for the cancellation was because of the infamous rural purge -- which cancelled all Southern shows to make room for adult-oriented sitcoms such as the already #1 sitcom, All in the Family."

I count three mistakes here. 'Family Affair' was not "the most popular show" in 1971. It was never number one, and it wasn't even in the top 30 during the 1970-71 season.

Next, "the reason for the cancellation was because of the infamous rural purge -- which cancelled all Southern shows." Huh? This implies 'Family Affair' was a Southern show. It was set in New York! 'Family Affair' was cancelled the same year as the so-called "rural purge," but it's impossible to argue there's anything Southern or rural about the show. Not every show cancelled that year was rural or Southern. Other shows were cancelled too. 'Family Affair' was one of them.

Third, this phrase: "the already #1 sitcom, All in the Family." It wasn't number one in the spring of 1971. It started slowly and I'm pretty sure it had NOT hit number one when CBS announced its fall schedule. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.131.142.97 (talk) 02:20, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Republican?

Brian Keith is listed as a California Republican at the bottom of the page. He might have been one. I don't deny it. But right now, there's no reference to it in the main article, and no supporting evidence to prove it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.143.202.206 (talk) 01:57, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Bayonne is not a suburb of Newark

I do not believe it's appropriate to characterize Bayonne as a suburb of Newark. Bayonne is a city. It shares no land border with Newark, and is located in a different county than Newark. If Bayonne is a "suburb" at all, it is of Jersey City or, perhaps, New York City. It is physically closer to both of those cities than to Newark. KaosAgent (talk) 03:49, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
