Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

rcj5365 Also known as "The Fred MacMurray Show",the television series "My Three Sons" was the cornerstone of the situation family shows that came out during the 1960's and continued onward into the early 1970's. "My Three Sons" was creator-executive producer Don Fedderson's most successful series(along with producers Edmund H. Hartmann, George Tibbles,and Peter Tewksbury),that was second only to "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" as the longest-running family situation comedy sitcom in television history producing 380 episodes and it was telecast on two major television networks running from September 29, 1960 until April 13,1972 with repeated episodes running from April 20, 1972 until August 24,1972. First,it aired on ABC's Thursday night prime-time schedule running for five seasons and 153 black and white episodes airing from September 29,1960 until May 20,1965. After it was abruptly canceled in the Spring of 1965 by ABC,"My Three Sons" was picked up by CBS for the next seven seasons and 227 episodes in color for the remainder of it's run from September 16,1965 until April 13,1972 and it also CBS that repeated various episodes from it's final season airing from April 20,1972 until August 24,1972. CBS also aired daytime re-runs of "My Three Sons" for one season in September of 1971 that had various episodes from past seasons in color. "My Three Sons" won the Golden Globe for Best Television Series in 1962 and was nominated for three Prime-Time Emmys in 1961,1968 and 1969 and nominated for four WGA Awards in 1961,1963,1964 and 1968.Out of the actors that were with the series,only actors Fred MacMurray and Stanley Livingston were the only cast members that remained with the series throughout it's entire 12-year run and 380 episodes. William Frawley(aka Fred Mertz of "I Love Lucy" fame)who played the maternal grandfather Bub O'Casey was with the black and white episodes for the first five seasons of the show appearing in 165 episodes from September 29,1960 until his final appearance on January 7,1965. William Demarest who played the boys-live in maternal guardian Charley O'Casey(who was Bub's older brother)join the series midway through it's fifth season appearing in 215 episodes. Demarest remained with the series when the show was canceled by ABC and stayed with the show when it went to CBS. Demarest appeared in 26 of the black and white episodes of Season 5 for ABC from January 17,1965 until May 20,1965 and also in the 189 color episodes for CBS from September 16,1965 until April 13,1972(Seasons 6 thru 12). Tim Considine(Mike Douglas)appeared in 185 episodes of the series(which also included the opening color telecast of the series for CBS which was Tim Considine's final association with the series); Don Grady(Robert "Robbie" Douglas)appeared in 357 episodes for the series from 1960-1971; Barry Livingston,brother of Stanley Livingston(Ernie Thompson-Douglas)appeared in 206 episodes of the series from 1963-1972; Tina Cole(Katie Miller Douglas)appeared in 134 episodes from 1964-1972; Meredith MacRae(Sally Anne-Morrison Douglas)appeared in 14 episodes of the series which also appeared in the first color telecast of the series for CBS; Beverly Garland(Barbara Harper- Douglas)appeared in 74 episodes of the series from 1969-1972; Dawn Lyn(Dodie Harper-Douglas)appeared in 73 episodes of the series from 1969-1972; actress Ronne Troup(Polly Williams-Douglas)appeared in 36 episodes of the series from 1970-1972. Tramp was the family dog in all 380 episodes."My Three Sons" survived numerous changes during the twelve seasons it was on the air. During the first five seasons and especially the 153 black and white episodes for ABC, the show was centered around widower and aeronautical engineer Steven Douglas(Fred MacMurray)and his three sons Mike(Tim Considine),middle-child Robbie(Don Grady),and the youngest one Richard "Chip" Douglas(Stanley Livingston)and their maternal grandfather and housekeeper Bub O'Casey(William Frawley)and their suburban household in fictional Bryant Park. When the show went to CBS in the fall of 1965 several changes were made and the series was in color with the opening episode of the marriage of Mike and Sally(which would be Tim Considine's final association with the series); the family's adoption of Ernie Thompson(Barry Livingston),and the family's moving in the eighth season from Bryant Park to North Hollywood; and midway audiences saw the marriage of Robbie marrying his college sweetheart Katie,and in the show's tenth season saw the marriage of widower Steven Douglas to Barbara Harper. Even Chip Douglas in the show's final season married his high school sweetheart Polly Williams."My Three Sons" enjoy the first five seasons in black and white as one of ABC's powerhouse Thursday night line-up of shows from 1960-1965,and when the series went to color on CBS in the fall of 1965 remained on the Thursday night schedule for the next two seasons(Seasons 6-7 from 1965- 1967). In the show's eighth season on CBS,the series was moved to a new time slot from Thursday nights(in favor of "Cimarron Strip") to Saturday nights preceding "The Jackie Gleason Show" where it remained from 1967 until 1971(Seasons 8 thru 11). Then CBS moved the series again in it's 12th and final season for 1971-1972 where the series was moved from Saturday nights to an later time slot on Monday nights at the 10:00pm Eastern/9:00pm Central Time Slot where the show was placed opposite ABC's Monday Night Football which in turn decimated it in the Nielsen ratings. When the show went into syndication only the 227 color episodes were given as part of it's deal with network after it's association on CBS. The series that replaced the long-running "My Three Sons" in the fall of 1972 was CBS' decision to move Doris Day's sitcom to "My Three Sons" old time slot on Monday nights preceding "The Bill Cosby Comedy Hour" for the remainder of the 1972-1973 season. When "My Three Sons" ended it's astounding 12 year-run, it was the last of the great situation family shows of it's era where the landscape of prime- time television during the 1970's saw numerous changes in it's programming with gritter cop shows and urban dramas.

Dalbert Pringle With my curiosity piqued in regards to this TV show's vast popularity, I have now watched every single episode from both Season 1 and Season 2 of My Three Sons.And, now, with that done, I have to say that I honestly can't imagine how this dreary, unfunny and unimaginative Sit-Com actually endured running for 12 seasons (1960-1972).I am absolutely puzzled by this show's wide appeal.Among my other valid complaints about this completely contrived TV series is that the 2 teen-aged boys in the show had no real interest, whatsoever, in rock-n-roll music (which was in full swing when this show was first aired) and I think that that one point, alone, renders My Three Sons as an absolutely unrealistic depiction of a "typical", middle-class, All-American family during the 1960s.Whoever scripted this show was a moron. They turned every reasonably acceptable situation into an absurd, unfunny dud where all I could do was roll my eyes to the ceiling and groan in agony at the stupidity of it all.I'm trying to be fair-minded here, but I thought that the entire Douglas family were all a bunch of jerks who were so easy to dislike.This was one of those rare TV shows where the family dog, Tramp, was just as stupid and clueless as its owners.As well, I found the Steve Douglas character (played by actor Fred MacMurray), the father figure of the household, to be a lousy role model. This character, far too often, seemed unbelievably apathetic and in no way helpful when it came to the concerns of his 3 growing sons.Nope. It's as I said earlier - I can't see how this show survived running for 12 successful seasons. I really can't.

bux This little family atrocity ran for 12 years, can you believe that?Ok, Ok...the first five years or so were tolerable. Considine was probably the most talented of the "three sons" (how many were there REALLY? four or five and eventually a daughter!)to grace the screen, but he got wise and left early on.TV Land gossip has it that MacMurray would wait until ALL scenes for a particular show were in the can, then come on, do his shots, have little tolerance for any errors, then pack up his things and go home, with little or no interface with other cast members. Afterall they were just TV folks and he was a MOVIE STAR. Yeah right.If you catch this show today, be sure you have a package of NO-DOZE tablets handy, because it is no "Leave It To Beaver" by any streatch of the imagination.

Rosemea D.S. MacPherson This was a great show for kids. I remember watching this show as I was growing up. I loved them all. Chip with all his brilliant ideas! I liked him even more because I am near sighted and started wearing glasses when I was about his age. To me glasses were a sign of intelligence. I do not think that has been proved but it made feel better when kids called me "four eyes." Oh, well! One was the older son, more mature. I remember him going on dates. Dad was a very understanding man.One of my favorite episodes, I do not know how I can remember this! it has been so long, was when the middle kid decided that Uncle Bud's birthday was coming up and he needed to give him something. Bud has corresponding with some lady that he never met but she was coming to visit. Bud suddenly became concerned with his baldness and whether or not the woman would be impressed with him or not. He started using everything he could find to see if he could grow some hair. In the mean time the kid ordered hair piece for Bud through a catalogue. He had a hard time deciding on the color and invested all his all his funds on it. And was also helping Bud with his hair problem. One day while Bud was napping on the sofa the kid decided to put some bacon fat on Bud's head. The fluffy dog smelled the bacon and comes to lick Bud's head. As this point Bud wakes up and goes: "Sure smells like bacon in here!" I was rolling. When the hair piece arrived and Bud tried on, he hated it. Bud did not want to offend the kid. The dilemma was how to tell kid that he did not feel like himself with the hair piece on. I just loved that show which won the 1962 best television series Golden Globe Award.
