In this video, we take a deep dive into the classic 1960s series My Three Sons, exploring the show's most memorable goofs, blunders, and behind-the-scenes secrets. From the "MacMurray Method" of filming that led to visible inconsistencies in the actors' appearances to the abrupt disappearances of major characters like Mike and Robbie, we uncover the quirky details that even die-hard fans may have missed.
We also delve into the show's fuzzy timeline, examining how the ages of characters like Chip and Ernie seemed to fluctuate as the series progressed. And we spotlight the actors who did double duty on the show, playing multiple roles over the years, including Doris Singleton's memorable turns as two different Douglas family mothers-in-law.
But it's not all about the slip-ups and oddities. We also celebrate the charming practicalities that made My Three Sons a television classic, from the use of real-life twins to play the Douglas grandkids to the clever recycling of sets from famous films like Captain January and Home on the Range.

[@dakotaescher1]

Ernie's dog was not named Tramp, whoops, that is a blooper. (Edit: additionally it was not Mike's wife but Mike's wife's mother who would become Chips mother in law. Jesus this video is terrible).
