They can’t all be Billy Mumy, Patty McCormack or Ronny Howard.

Or Danny Bonaduce.

He looked even better because of the two stiffs (Chris and Tracy) he would be compared to. Heck, they changed out Chris and no one even noticed. At least when they got a tot drummer for "I Love Lucy" (playing Little Ricky) they found one who could actually drum.

Meanwhile, Sherwood Schwartz could find six good to very good child actors specifying three blonde girls (the youngest one in curls) and three brunet boys (Bobby dyed his, but close enough).

Brandon Cruz in "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" was over the top cloying. And Hal, Butch, and Prudence undermined the excellent acting of Juliet Mills and Richard Long in Nanny and the Professor. Worst of all was the kid who played Richie Petry. They wound up having him over at the Helpers all the time, so Rob and Laura could spend more time socializing.
