- Brian Keith (Bill Davis) Uncle Bill Davis’ life as a bachelor is completely flipped upside down when first, his eighteen-year-old niece is dropped off a year after her parents died since she was not getting along with her interim family.
- Kathy Garver (Cissy) Cissy was a gregarious teenager and a great big sis, often taking responsibility for her challenging, younger siblings, Buffy and Jody.
- Johnny Whitaker (Jody) Jody is an adorable and recognizable character with his red hair and freckles and is one-half of the twins. He was a responsible kid, so the opposite of Dennis the Menace.
- Sebastian Cabot (Giles French) Giles French was Bill Davis’ butler and a second father figure for the kids. Cabot was brilliant as this Gentleman’s Gentleman, who always appears so very proper and gruff, but was also really and sincerely charmed by these three kiddos.
