I adored Katie (in reruns, of course), loved when she and Robbie met. I thought she fit into things fairly seamlessly. But I had a soft spot for goofy Ernie. That episode where he thinks he's a jinx and has nightmares that about causing the Titanic sining and the Chicago fire still makes me laugh.
And exactly what fountain has Robbie been drinking from??? I can only hope to look that good at 50, nevermind 65...
@howellfilm This was filmed live on the CBS Early Show in November 2009. I booked this segment. They are all available for: events, projects, personal appearances, etc. at Genesis Creations Entertainment
Wow, Barry Livingstone looks just like Mel (Richard Deacon) in the old Dick van Dyke shows!
What is Don Grady's secret in looking so young and youthful? Tina Cole looks petty spiffy too. Remember, this show ran from 1960-1972, a loooong time ago.
oh yeah... My Three Sons was a real "trail blazer"! Are you joking. It was standard homogenized horseshit spoon fed to the American public to dictate Amurkun behavior. The only thing worth watching was Don Grady. DAMN but I wanted to give him head!
Oh my!!! Thanks for posting this! They all look great - even little Ernie looks the same except for being bald. And yes, Don Grady - does he have a painting in the attic? Still hot hot hot!!!! Looks the same!!!!!
Tina's a hot MILF! She was the hottest babe on TV at the time on these siticoms. Well, okay, Elly May in tight jeans. And the Gilligan's Island babes. Tina had a lot of competition. And she's just naturally a decent woman who happens to be a bombshell. She giggles nice.
I wish it were on somewhere in NC. Television has gone to the dogs, and I refuse to allow my children to watch it, but I would let them watch the old shows like this one. This was great viewing.
I'd like to know why I don't see the reruns of this show on tv? Hallmark channel plays Little House On The Prarie and 'The Waltons' over and over and over and over again. Come on already, how about running these great old shows such as 'My Three Sons'?!?
@netmoney , it's on weekday mornings at 7:30 and also sundays at 2pm in Chicago on MeTV. However, they only run the color episodes, with uncle charley.
@lennonzappa71, ignore my last post. After watching this clip I started feeling nostalgic and typed in "Osmonds Yo-Yo" but typed it in the comments section accidentally. What I REALLY wanted to say was that Don looks 20 years younger than he is; and that it's a shame that his younger sister Lani died the way she did, and too young.
WOW!!! Everyone looks great, especially Mr. A'Grady (yes, that's his birth name). The interview was not complete, though, without the awesome Tim Considine!! I was so hep on this show in the early 80s that I utilized MTS quotes in my high school (years later, my acting coach was horrified by this admission). I recently purchased some DVD's and watch them daily!! This wonderful show, + "Leave It To Beaver" made my childhood palatable!! Dave Lounder (Film Actor / Executive Producer)
THATS WHEN TIMES WERE GREAT,CAUSE NOW,ITS 1 BIG SHITTER,YOU CANT COMPARE,LIKE SHE SAID WE CAME FROM GOOD FAMILIES,AND I DONT MEAN WEALTH ITS SAD REALLY SAD,AS TIME GOES ON THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO PROGRESS GET BETTER,SHIT ITS THE OPPOSITE,TWIN BEDS,COMPARE THAT TO NOW,SOMETHING WRONG IF YOUR NOT SCREWING,SAD WORLD SAD
This video should squelch the rumour that Ernie was a Chinaman......You can plainly see here that Ernie is a white European American, and NOT a Chinaman.
And let's not forget that Mike (Tim Considine) was the one time oldest brother. In real life, he didn't renew his contract after a falling-out w/ Exec producer Don Fedderson over his wish to direct but not co-star in the series. Also, Considine LOVED car racing, which his contract forbade. So Mike got married & was written out of the show & never mentioned again. That's when next door neighbor Ernie's parents deserted him & Steve Douglas adopted him to keep that 3 sons theme going.
@stoicjello Actually, Mike was mentioned in several episodes after Tim left the show. His character would telephone from Arizona and talk to Steve. In one episode, the boys thought Steve was remarrying and didn't want them around any longer. Uncle Charlie said they could go live with Mike and Sally in Arizona. This was not when Steve married Barbara, but a much earlier episode.
How could Tina say that William Demerest was nicer than Bill Frawley. She wasn't even on the show when Bill was there. Also, you notice how they didn't mention the other brother and the fact that they were also breaking ground because Ernie was adopted.
I always thot that was so original that they made Robbie(Don Grady) a wrestler in high school where the trite option was always footbore or basebore. Too bad he did'nt get into bodybuilding. He would have been excellent!
Many people don't realise the show started on ABC, then moved to CBS because ABC wouldn't comitt to doing the show in color.Every guy loved Katie (Tina Cole) She was just totally gorgeous, and a lot of the girls adored Robbie (Don Grady) I wish they would just start the series from the very beginning on TV and go all the way through to teh end. Chip ended up getting married to a girl named Polly.
@parkman35 MTS was developed by Walt Disney while he was still at ABC as a half-hour version of The Shaggy Dog with former Mouseketeer Don Grady in the Tommy Kirk role and Stanley Livingston in the Kevin Corcoran role. When Disney left for NBC he relinquished all rights to ABC as part of the deal & ABC tweeked it so now Fred McMurray was a widower and Tim Considine ("Buzz" in The Shaggy Dog) was now the older brother but still source of competition for Grady. The English Sheepdog became Tramp.
I loved My Three Sons in reruns of course. I don't remember the original episodes. I went to bed pretty early as a child, eight on weekdays and nine on Friday and saturday. Wow they still look great after all theses years, i wonder why Tim Considine didn't join them? Werent Don and Tina almost engaged later on? She was a divorcee with a little boy. I think they dated some in real life didn't they?
@ElliottsFather Its his real hair. In other interviews of him the past few years its clearly his real hair. Doesnt matter though one way or the other the guy has takne care of himself. I know people in their 30's that look older. Fat, bald and out of shape.
dang..don grady looks very good for his age..i think the reason why tim considine is "forgotten" is because he left on not so good terms(he wanted to race cars) and and don was on the show, out of the two the longest.
Its funny the one the clip of the show with Bub and chip Dancing I just watch it last night last night and to find this clip today!!!! Wow was a great show need to show shows like this and get rid of the Reality shows!!
I so loved My Three Sons but why does everyone forget about the first real elder son Mike Douglas played by Tim Considine, he was in the first 6 or 7 seasons, then he married and left the show, Thats when Robbie became the eldest son.
nice interview
