My Three Sons first episode ending theme closing credits

[@dragonszzlm956mackerman8]

Thank you! This was one of the best tv shows from 1960 to 1972.

[@badgerstateelevators6363]

I love getting up at 4:00 in the morning to get ready to go to college and watching Dragnet along with this at 5:30 on MeTV before I make my morning commute to my college campus. As an old soul who grew up in the 2000's, I'm fascinated by old sitcoms like this one. And this ending is the best on here.

[@veryfungamesawesome]

Love this, I’m from the 90’s but I believe my soul is from the late 50’s. Love all the old sitcoms especially this one.

[@christinerobinson9372]

At the very least, you can always be sure you won't see anything you'd rather not.

[@Brandon-lw1wx]

This was 1960

[@bridgetdrummond1721]

What a classic! I love those 1950s and 60 models.

I Like This Show

[@sardu55]

Classic stuff, right up there with the best all-time series themes. The video, well, that's another story. The film captures of the sponsors cars, IMO, was neat and said 'let's talk about cross marketing'. Someone tried to blame the closing film on Desi Arnaz, who was running the show at Desilu where MTS was filmed. MTS was itself a classic series that internally had three distinct phases. The first, or 'Bub Era' ran from season 1 until season 5, episode 18 when Bub got the ax and was replaced by that other guy. William Frawley, who played Bub, was run off the lot when the producers were unable to get him insurance due to his very poor health. The other guy, who had actually been in a holding pattern for nearly 2 years waiting for 'Bub' to die, was rushed in to replace Frawley and remained until the series ended. Frawley was in bad shape, even though he was pissed and still came around the studio daily to 'report for work' until he was escorted off the lot, and actually died several months later. Before he did, however, Frawley managed to get in a cameo on his old friend Lucille Ball's series 'The Lucy Show'. Ball knew his situation with MTS (she had to, she was President and owner of Desilu at the time) and offered him the job to give him something to do. She was concerned about his health as well and even had Desi Arnaz, who was a friend, to take Frawley out for dinner and explain that it was time for him to 'retire'.

Great share! Thank you and also wanted to share Stanley Livingston AKA "Chip Douglas" has said he never knew either of HIS Grandfather's and he, Stanley Livingston, adopted William Frawley! (As his Grandfather) And how Frawley was so touched by that and Stanley continues to remember that & shares to this day, June 2021! What a wonderful, awesome, wholesome show and program this was! How I wish we had classic shows like THIS still on! I miss them desperately and so sick of the GARBAGE on television nowadays they pass off as good entertainment. Totally disgusting and not worth my time... But MTS... forever in my heart and memories... 💜👏🌹🍀

@@theirishgirl6809 I watch an episode every morning before I go to work.

[@bowsettejr9912]

That other Guy was call William Demarest who played Uncle Charley

[@raymondclark6232]

Chevrolet was the original sponsor of My Three Sons why you see 60's model Chevrolet trucks and vans at the end.

[@curtpiazza1688]

Great song! Great show!

[@jnadle1]

In the first two seasons, the credits are shown over various Chevrolet cars, usually in live-action.

[@theirishgirl6809]

And I CAN'T explain it, but it just is so freaking AWESOME... especially if you WEREN'T born yet or too young to remember how the commercials are so much betBETTER ter than then they are now because nowadays these freaking Commercials Suck big time.. I just won't say what! 😉

[@theirishgirl6809]

I know this is going to sound a bit wacky however... Maybe because I was born in Sacto., Cal... and raised in Sacramento, but was still so young that I don't know... something about these commercials with the car's, the Chevys, remind me so much of when I was just a wee little one and the roads were just SO EMPTY... compared to nowadays! Still amazing to me!! Anyway... just so cool and will be hanging onto these memories and I don't care what anyone thinks 😉 feels like I've gone back home and it feels great! 😆

[@amiblueful]

It's funny to see the closing promoting the "latest and greatest" Chevys. They had no idea at the time that syndication would be a thing in the future. The episodes were made to be watched once (or twice if they did summer reruns).

[@bdh70]

The Corvan at 0:28 is the best! How many My Three Sons viewers are really shopping for a dump truck?

[@tomservo56954]

I think it was because the show premiered before the 1961 car models debuted

[@gladasya1068]

"Chip Off the Old Block", original telecast September 29, 1960.

[@BW-ht5ci]

I never saw this ending before in 50 years

[@christinerobinson9372]

Anyone know who wrote the closing theme? I tried to google it but didn't get the answer.

[@jeffmissinne3866]

Frank De Vol.

[@gcfifthgear]

I don't think the driver of the dump truck knew how to shift more than three gears! (A '61 Chevy dump truck had a five-speed manual transmission.)
