I was watching MeTV the other day and noticed something about their new morning line up. It now features My Three Sons, however not the usual syndicated package that only shows the color episodes and primarily the ones with Actors William Demarest and Barry Livingston who replaced the original cast members William Frawley and Tim Consadine. No these are the original first five seasons never shown before in syndication except in the early 90's on Nick At Nite for a brief period.
It looks so funny, I admit, watching William Frawley (Fred Mertz I Love Lucy) do the household chores instead of always complaining William Demarest and seeing brother Chip as the youngest instead of Ernie as in the color episodes. Plus Chip is real little in these and Robbie is the middle brother as Tim Consadine played oldest brother Mike.
So if anyone wants to see how it all started and to see Fred Mertz on another sitcom, this is the place.
