He was my favorite son.

He was also being considered for the starring role in "The Graduate" that Dustin Hoffman eventually got.

Why is “My Three Sons” not on Nick at Nite or ever in reruns? Wow, I remembered when the Douglass Family moved from New Rochelle, NY to California, Chevy was the sponsor.

He also wrote the theme song to the Phil Donohue show.

I am so sorry to hear that he went at such a more or less young age. METV is claiming a share of victims, first Frank Cady and now Don Grady. May God keep them both.

Robbie, Katie and the triplets seem like 15 years past. It is hard to believe that it was so long ago.

When I was around 8 and my older brothers were 11 and 13 we stopped in the dime store and bought a cheap but pretty good looking vase fro Mothers Day.

The only card we could find said “from your son”, so we scratched that out and wrote 3 Sons. I remember when we gave it to her it seemed to affect her.

Many years later, when Mother was in a nursing home she told me the most valuable thing she owned was that vase and card. For some reason that TV show being on back then had something to do with it. Mother is gone now but I sent the vase and card to my Daughter and grandchildren hoping they will keep it in memory of the best Mother ever.

BTW, I always liked Fred McMurry. I have no idea of his politics but he just seemed conservative.

Anyone getting to hang around with his tv wife was lucky. I had some uncomfortable eight year old moments laying on the floor watching her.

Yeah...he was a lucky guy.
