My Three Sons
On CBS
A warm, multigenerational family sitcom built on affection and domestic comedy, with the reassuring structure of a weekly reset and the comfort of an expanding, loving household.
A widower and aeronautical engineer named Steven Douglas raises three sons with the help of his father-in-law, and later the boys' great-uncle. An adopted son, a stepdaughter, wives, and another generation of sons join the loving family in later seasons.
