My Three Sons is a situation comedy about a Scots/Irish-American family (Douglas/ O'Casey), that ran from September 29, 1960, to August 24, 1972. My Three Sons chronicles the life of an aeronautical engineer and widower Steve Douglas, played by Fred MacMurray, and his three sons. This seemingly simple premise was a huge hit and a cornerstone of the CBS lineup in the 1960s. With 380 episodes produced, it is second only to The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet as television's longest running (live-action) family sitcom.

The show began on ABC in black-and-white. The first season, consisting of thirty-six episodes, is particularly remarkable for having been directed in its entirety by Peter Tewksbury, who also produced and occasionally scripted the programs. These early episodes held to no specific generic type, so that any episode from one week to the next might be comedic or dramatic or, in one or two cases, surprisingly innovative. An early highlight is the fourth episode, "Countdown," written by David Duncan, which chronicles the Douglas family's attempts to wake up, prepare for the day, have breakfast and get out of the house by a common, agreed-upon time, all carefully synchronized to a televised rocket launch countdown -- to comical and often ironic effect. Tewksbury's episodes are also unusual for their fearless use of cross-talk in depicting the chaotic Douglas household, a full decade before Robert Altman was credited with innovating such aural realism in feature films such as M*A*S*H* (1970). Tewksbury returned to directing feature films after concluding the season.

The show moved to CBS for the 1965–66 season after ABC would not commit to the expense of producing the program in color. Along with the change in networks and the transition to color, other changes happened during 1965: William Frawley played "Bub" O'Casey, the boys' maternal grandfather, until he was declared too ill to work by Desilu Studios and the producers could no longer find insurance for him. They took a gamble on Frawley for half a season, until a suitable replacement could be found. He was replaced by William Demarest who played his brother Charley. According to the storyline, Bub fell in love with Ireland while the gang visited the Emerald Isle the previous season and went back to help his Aunt Kate celebrate her birthday. Shortly after Bub left, Charley dropped by unannounced to pay a visit and stayed on as housekeeper. According to Frawley's biography Meet the Mertzes, he was never pleased with being written out of the show. Frawley died a short while later in March 1966 at age 79.

My Three Sons DVD complete series collection with all episodes and seasons on DVDs

My Three Sons is originally an ABC TV series broadcasted from 1960 to 1965 on ABC and than moved to CBS on 24 August 1972. It is one of the longest television live action family sitcom after The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. The world famous Disney producer named Bill Walsh was used to say that the concept of the series My Three Sons is inspired by a beautiful movie “The Shaggy Dog”. He said this because of the close resemble ness of the “same dog, same kids and also same Fred Mac Murray”. My Three Sons is a story of a widower aeronautical engineer Steven Douglas actually Fred Mac Murray raising three sons.

In its first season, the My Three Sons contains thirty six episodes and the particularity of the first seasons is that the whole season is directed by a single director Peter Tewksbury. Later on Peter also scripted, directed and produced the same program occasionally. First few episodes of the series are not attracting and one can say these episodes are not extra ordinary.

The series starts in its fourth episode named Countdown. Countdown was written by David Duncan. Episodes of the series directed by Tewksbury are unusual and they wondered the public when the cross talk is found on the voice of main character. After concluding his first season of My Three Sons, Tewksbury goes to direct the feature films as his producer of My Three Son was unable to afford his perfectionist and professional attitude and the producer thought that it is just waste of time to take re-shoots and also waste of money.

When Tewksbury left the direction of My Three Sons, Richard Whorf was the man that was hired as director after him Gene Reynolds followed the direction from 1962 to 1964. In 1964, a good known experience Hollywood director James Kern started as director and directed “My Three Sons” for two years until he was died. After the death of Kern, James Sheldon was signed in as director to finish the remaining episodes for that season. Fred De Cordova directed one hundred and eight episodes of the series and was the only director doing such a huge number of episodes in My Three Sons.
