My Three Sons Original Opening Credits Color Intro

Opening credits in color for the My Three Sons TV show, circa 1965-67, including a sponsor's promo ("brought to you by..."). I would imagine that Hunt's was sponsor for several years of this show. Also, Chevy, Pontiac, and Ford all provided cars during the run of the show from 1960-72! NOTE: Fair use and educational value on TV History are the purpose here.

If anyone has any other My Three Sons openings (especially from '69-72), please post them!

Chevy was the sponsor for the first four seasons, the closing credits would have pictures of Chevy's in the background!

[jed6271]

Yes, Chevy had the sponsorship and provided cars til '64, then Pontiac from '64 to '71 (1970 models were the last seen on the show), and then Ford picked up the last '71-72 season and provided cars to the Douglas clan.

@fromthesidelines  Lever Brothers, a manufacturer of health & beauty and home cleaning products (brand names of Dove & Lifebuoy soaps, Lux and Sunlight dishwashing liquid, Wisk laundry detergent) was also a sponsor of "My Three Sons" in its CBS run.

I recall Fred MacMurray, in some episodes' intros, announcing the Lever Bros. sponsorship of the program.

MeTV regularly runs an old Hunts Catsup commercial with the MTS cast. I notice that nowadays Hunts calls it "ketchup" and no longer "catsup"!

Also, the Toni Company (White Rain Shampoo, Tame Creme Rinse, et al) was a sponsor for a few years in the late 60's)

Catch MacMurray in a western movie called "Day of the Bad Man." Excellent.
