But I'm not going to worry about that.<br /><br />Actually, now that I think about it, in "The Apartment" Fred McMurray was having an affair with a working-class elevator girl played by Shirley Maclaine. Of course, that ended badly for all concerned -- he got divorced and Shirley Maclaine ended up with Jack Lemmon (and then presumably left him a few years later, thus triggering "The Odd Couple.")<br /><br />But maybe in this version of the same story, Fred McMurray wasn't married when he started the affair with a working-class girl, and everything worked out for all concerned -- at least until his wife died, which must have been awful.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-25523956480532825682015-11-23T12:45:30.736-05:002015-11-23T12:45:30.736-05:00OK, so he was from a different family.

I choose to believe that his wife was some sort of glamor girl from a poor background -- like the character Audry Hepburn plays in "Breakfast at Tiffany's."<br /><br />I'm pretty sure I never saw any of the episodes with William Frawley. Similarly, I never saw any of the black-and-white episodes of "The Lucy Show."GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-61238544494984251322015-11-23T11:56:18.948-05:002015-11-23T11:56:18.948-05:00I didn't know any of this either (well, most o...I didn't know any of this either (well, most of it), from <i>Mental Floss</i>: "<a href="http://mentalfloss.com/article/20334/6-things-know-about-my-three-sons" rel="nofollow">The premise of My Three Sons was to showcase the trials and tribulations of an aeronautical engineer widower (Steve Douglas) and his three boys (Mike, Robbie and Chip). Since Steve's job required long hours, some household help was obviously required. Enter William Frawley as Bub O'Casey, Steve's father-in-law. Bub served as chief cook and bottle-washer, as well as disciplinarian for the boys when Dad wasn't home. Frawley nabbed this role shortly after his tenure as "Fred Mertz" on I Love Lucy, and was quite pleased to have another steady job. However, after five years his failing health made him uninsurable and he was replaced by the even more curmudgeonly William Demarest, who appeared on the scene as Uncle Charlie, Bub's brother.</a>"Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-86776376447798778962015-11-23T11:53:44.075-05:002015-11-23T11:53:44.075-05:00After all, she did apparently lose custody of her ...After all, she did apparently lose custody of her daughter.
