Since nobody ever died on TV back then

Gramps died in Lassie and Jeff moved away, leaving the dog to Timmy, isn't that right?

I didn't know that. (Then again, if Gramps hadn't died, Timmy would still be at the bottom of that well.)

Don’s real-life sister was actress Loni O’Grady, who played Mary the medical student in the late 1970’s TV series “Eight is Enough.” Loni suffered from panic attacks for much of her life and died of an accidental prescription drug overdose on Sept. 25, 2001.....just a week before what would have been her 47th birthday. I hope she and her brother are together now.

As for Fred MacMurray, I remember seeing MANY years ago a movie called “Kisses for My President,” which starred Polly Bergen as America’s first woman president and Fred as the First Gentleman. The movie was released in 1964. I think I saw it on TV when I was a kid.

I remember Tim Considine in “The Adventures of Spin and Marty”, too.

[I still care]

This can’t be. He’s just a kid.
Uncle Charlie’s going to be very upset.

RIP, Don.

RIP Mr. Grady, and thanks for the memories.

BTW...Don Grady was the real-life brother of the late Lani O’Grady, who played the eldest daughter Mary Bradford in “Eight Is Enough.”

After decades of never hearing it on the air, I can still hear the My Three Sons theme song intro clear as yesterday inside my head.

Robbie was my favorite son. My 3 Sons was a good show I always enjoyed watching it.

Yes. Lani O’Grady passed away at a mobile home park outside of Santa Clarita several years ago. The whole family was in the business. I believe his mom was an agent. RIP, Don Grady. You were the cutie to a whole generation of teenagers in the 60’s.

He was a cutie. I had a crush on him when I was about 10 yrs old watching the show on reruns after school.

I wonder what he did later on in life after Hollywood? His brother also was on the show, too wasn’t he? The middle son?

[Veggie Todd]

The dog was named Tramp, correct?

thanks for the ear worm

[markman46]

Chip and ernie are brother in real life

[submarinerswife]

I always liked Fred McMurry.

He was a good actor. My favorite was The Caine Mutiny.

That was the best post I have read in a long while yarddog.

That earworm won’t be easy to get rid of now.

“Da da da dahhhh...da da da dahhhhh....etc”

Thank you, I really appreciate that.
