The musical Cowsill family - Barbara Cowsill and six of her singing youngsters - star in "A Family Thing," half-hour musical special to be colorcast on NBC Television today.
Buddy Ebsen guest stars on the show, introducing the family in a home setting, chatting with father-founder Bud Cowsill and joining the youngest of the clan, nine-year-old Susan Cowsill, in a song-and-dance rendition of "The Old Soft Shoe."
Also starring are the rest of the musical Cowsills: Bill, 20; Bob, 19; Paul, 17; Barry, 14, and Johnny, 12. The only member of the family not seen on the show is Bob's twin brother, Dick, who is in the Army.
Musical highlights include "What the World Needs Now," "Consider Yourself," "A Doodlin' Song" and one of the family's best-selling records, "We Can Fly."
