For Baby Boomers who fondly remember My Three Sons as just your typical quaint '60s family sitcom, there are surprises in store in these 18 episodes that conclude its groundbreaking first season. Credit director Peter Tewksbury, who directed every episode of the first season, with subverting sitcom convention. The clever episode, "Man in a Trench Coat," unfolds in the style of film noir, as middle son Robbie (Don Grady), under the influence of pulp-fiction paperbacks, lets his imagination get the better of him as sneaks around with a flirtatious blonde and tries to elude a stranger who's been tailing him. "Small Adventure" is a Hitchcockian exercise in which the family goes about its business unaware of the danger when romping family dog, Tramp, fetches an unexploded stick of dynamite into the house. In "Fire Watch," the season finale, college-bound son Mike (Tim Considine) gets much more than he bargained for when he takes a job with the Forestry Service and must man his watchtower post during a violent storm. In this first season, My Three Sons was the raucous flipside to the comparatively staid suburban domesticity of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, Father Knows Best and Leave It To Beaver. Fred MacMurray's Steve Douglas was a widower raising his boisterous brood with the help of "dear old Bub," his gruff father-in-law (William Frawley). The home "looks like a disaster area... nothing but bottlenecks and traffic jams." And between games of keepaway in the living room, blaring trumpet practice, and squabbles over the phone and lack of privacy, there are few quiet moments. But as a more misguided and regimented parent (future Bewitched star David White) observes in the episode, "Other People’s Houses," "You enjoy living together, sharing everything." While some of the episodes are corny and silly (In one, Steve and Robbie think they've found an abandoned baby, and in another, Bub searches frantically for youngest son Chip's escaped frog), others grapple with real-life issues such as first love, as when Mike and his girlfriend test their feelings for each other by not seeing each other for a week. My Three Sons’ first year holds up well. And who can resist the irresistible invitation of the classic toe-tapping "Chopstickian" theme song? --Donald Liebenson

I just hope that the first season vol. 2 of My Three Sons just goes in the tanks for these reasons.
1. Music has been changed. 2. Half season releases. 3. The price of each half season being what a whole season should cost.
4. The cheap packaging in a standard case instead of slim cases in a cover box. (This one is the least of the problems.)
I have not bought either of the My Three Sons volumes and its gonna stay that way. I have been reading the ... Read More

I can't believe all the people complaining about the soundtrack. The show is EXCELLENT. For what you get it is not too expensive. The shows are imaginative and creative and unlike many sitcoms today, really have something important to say.
I love these DVD's and cannot wait for Season 2 to come out. Good Job CBS

This show is rather new to me. I find it completely wonderful! The characters are believable and engaging. The writing is great and the actors are wonderful. The dynamics in this household of men are very fun to watch. I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed watching this DVD of 'My Three Sons' and reliving some old memories of watching it on Nick at Nite (back when Nick at Nite was good). This show is hilarious. I love how their house is always messy-just like in real life. I ordered both DVD sets. Wish they were a little cheaper and weren't divided into two volumes. Hopefully they won't do that if and when they come out with season two. Also, the 'new' background music was a little too modern for a show from the early 60's. And the DVDs could ... Read More

I would like to state for the record, that I love this show and have been waiting for it's release to DVD for a long time. The news of it's release made me very happy until I watched a few of the episodes.
The first thing I want to point out is this is only half of the first season! This 1/2 season set practice (which is an insult to fans) has got to stop! I mean really the studio's should be tickled pink that there is a buying audience for these old classic to begin with. Breaking the sets ... Read More
