RIP Don Grady, who you may remember as Robbie Douglas on...

Hell. - no mention Don's sister, the late Lani O'Grady from Eight is Enough?
RIP x 2

Amazing looking at some of the actors who appeared on M3S at some point. Jodie Foster, Tim Matheson, Beau Bridges, George Takei?

 

the Chuck Cunningham treatment. ... That is priceless. And who could the great Bill Frawley?

 

Damn, I was really looking forward to The Greefs getting back together.

 

Great show. Robbie had the triplets with Tina Cole. And when they added the wife and little Dottie at the end, was a great move. RIP

 

Did someone say theme song?

You aren't the only one hearing it in *your* head, Dyno. It has been in my head this morning, too.

My brother had two boys until 2005 when he had his third son. I jokingly asked my mother, as a bit of a snide comment (because my brother doesn't care for my sense of humor), "What are they going to name this one? Chip, Ernie, or Robbie?" She laughed. I doubt he would have seen the humor.

RIP.

 

Without looking it up, I know they were played by real-life brothers, both named Livingston. Stanley L. played Ernie, right....? Can't recall the first name of the Livingston brother who played Chip.

 

Real-life brothers Barry Livingston and Stanley Livingston and the soldier who got slapped in Patton was ... ahhhh! Can't remember his name.

 

Fred Mertz (William Frawley) and William Demerest.

 

I remember reading somewhere that Fred McMurray was one of the biggest stars in show business when the show was on the air. That's a little hard to believe but I guess he was big in movies back then, too.

 

Still not over that one, Mary Bradford was the big sister I never had.
