I'm 70 years old and grew up with My Three Sons. It was more than a TV show, it was a pattern for how to be an upstanding human being. Thank you to Barry and everyone involved with the show!
Always loved Barry Livingston on My Three Sons and always felt not enough story lines were centered on his adorable character. What an eclectic career and wonderful life. Much love to Barry. ❤️
What a nice guy Barry is. I like the way he tells a story about someone without putting them down. He is the type of guy who is nice to know; very down to earth.
Good interviews. I like seeing older TV/movie celebrity interviews and hearing stories about their interactions with legendary stars. And thank you for the timecodes (chapter search)! There are a number of child actors from the 1940s/50s I’d love to see.
Barry is a very good actor with great timing which is important. I loved him on My Three Sons. He fit in perfectly and added so much. I know the rest of the cast were blessed to have him.
What a lovely and interesting guy Barry is. I don't know any interviewer other than Craig who can achieve the depth he does. It's like he was there with them.
Barry is very open and articulate about his experiences. Saw an earlier interview with Stanley who is equally well spoken. Nice how unaffected and well-adjusted these brothers are.
Hello! I saw Barry Livingston in the Los Angeles premiere of a play called"Creeps." It had to be late 1980s I believe. He stole the show in this little black box theater on Melrose. He was masterful in a very difficult role, it seemed. I always felt something from this actor. Happy to see him looking and doing fine. Thanks for the memories!
I just discovered these Celebrity Drop interviews with Craig Bennett, and I have got to say it is so refreshing and so wonderful to see an interviewer who really knows his stuff. This guy comes to each one of these interviews so unbelievably prepared with a list of intriguing, interesting and respectfully probing questions and just fires them one after the other after the other after the other. I'm always annoyed when I see interviews with celebrities where the interviewer is ill prepared, asks the most inane questions and it's just a total waste of everyone's time. You see this particularly today with the I forget what they're called but the interviews for a movie that's just coming out and it's like somebody actually hired you? My God! Anyway, I just had to say kudos to Craig Bennett for m conducting the absolutely best interviews!
I hope that director who didn’t like Barry’s glasses came to realize how he missed a golden opportunity. Those glasses gave little Barry a uniqueness not to be found in any other child actor. They were the perfect accent to a very talented little boy. And once word got around as to why he had to wear the glasses, they endeared him to many fans who either wore glasses or knew someone they loved who did. Thanks, Barry, for showing the world that having imperfections is perfecting. 👏👏👏
Very interesting interview. Yes, he'll always be Ernie but he has a vast & varied career as an actor. He should be proud of his accomplishments on screen & off married to the same woman for 40 years. Very down to earth & open about his life. A family trait as Stan was the same way during his interview as well.
I didn't get to see My Three Sons until it moved to CBS since we didn't have an ABC channel in my area until quite a few years later. So, Ernie was always the youngest son to me! I SO wanted to be in that family, my wonderful father died right after I turned 8 and I had a horrible childhood after that. I so wanted to have my wonderful father back and watching the character Steve Douglas as a father was great. I'm happy that in the last 10 years, I've been able to see most of the black and white and rewatch most of the color episodes of My Three Sons. I loved the interview with Stanley and was so happy when the interview with Barry popped up yesterday! Loved hearing how Barry has been doing. Take care Barry!
Beau Bridges actually was a friend of Mike's on My Three Sons, he was in the first episode about Mike wanting to be on the school newspaper and also in that episode was the actress who played Miss Beadle on Little House On The Prairie, he was also in one other episode called Brotherly Love, he was Mike's friend, not Robbie's
I've followed Barry on Facebook for years, the Barry you see here, is Barry. Barry bought a new car a few years ago (a very good car, but a car your average person buys, Barry showed the car and was very pleased with it) I met Barry at an autograph show at his My Three Sons TV Mom's hotel (Beverly Garland) in the 90's, Barry and everyone there was VERY nice. The shows were nice back then, $10. to get in and photos were $5.-$10 each. It's changed a lot now, prices for a signed photo are $30 or more. What you see here, is Barry.
Thanks ‼️☺️We just had movie night. Then I put my iPad on and UA-cam. And you guys popped up. I saw the Stanley interview too. What a pleasure to watch this☺️🤘🏼💕
As always from Craig Bennett and Celebrity Drop, this is a tremendously good interview. Thanks for chasing the TV and movie greats so many of us love. Happy Holidays, and to Barry Livingston. Have been a long time fan
Barry!!!!!!! You and Stanley made my childhood!!!!!!!! Dude you as a kid were a Killer actor. It has been fun over the years seeing you on many shows and I always say HEY THAT's Barry and now just an Ole(not old) PRO!!!!!!!!!
Oh my, I wondered when you'd interview Barry. What a joyous interview. Top notch, as always.Craig's style is always on point - informed, gracious and he brings the best out of everybody. Tina Cole would be great. My Three Sons was such great viewing. Any chance of a Barabra Eden interview?
Hi Joanne. Glad you enjoyed our interview with Barry. We have spoken with Barbara's people but, so far, haven't been able to lock her in. But we will keep trying. Thank you again for your support. Kelley
Awesome Barry love seeing you on different shows it is like where's Waldo.....Hey Barry's on Bosch or in the social network or on GH.....I love that. Happy for your success Barry and tell Stan we said hello also.
Guess I’m the same age as Barry. Interesting life. Had no thought of watching this whole thing but here I am at the end. Oh found out I’m a couple months older than Barry. Met my wife in a bar in 1977 got married in 1980. 45 years going strong.
I wonder if Barry remembers visiting Cedar Rapids Iowa in the early 1960's? It was a long time ago and a very cold that day. Our ACCORDION band played a few tunes before they came on the OUTDOOR stage. Brrrrrrr!
Barry has had quite a great career. One thing I always wondered is if he auditioned for American Graffiti. He bears a bit of a resemblance to Charles Martin Smith and they're the same age. I wouldn't be surprised if Barry had auditioned for the Toad role.
Barry has a similar appeal as the young Ron Howard. They both have an earnestness that’s unmistakable. Barry is a very attractive man inside a very ordinary looking body. That was hard to put into words. I can see how someone could fall for him once they got to know him.
I've been following Judy Norton's channel and she's just the same. Very down to earth. Very charming and very, very humble. People have such a warped view of Hollywood (as did I at one time). These are just people who are trying to make a living in a very tough environment. The 'stars' are one in a billion. The rest are just everyday people.
I grew up with the show in reruns after school in the 70s. As a kid from a broken family, I felt great empathy for Ernie being adopted. Great memories, thanks for a wonderful interview Barry and host, very detailed! It's kind of funny that Barry went from My Six Loves to My Three Sons. It was a time before the pill, lol.
@celebritydrop Tina's experience with Fred McMurray and William Demerest will be if interest. You not only ask great questions but you guided the conversation just with a light touch. Very well done 👏
Everything is surreal at this point. Best statement ever. Being 62 watching this makes me feel I’ve been around a long time and yet it all went by in a flash.I want to say something about Barry. I connected to his role in my three sons. The entire show was centered around his character , the show outlook was thru his eyes. My eyes s a kid just 10 yrs younger.this show was a TV version of watching the world thru his characters eyes. The show made me feel that I was seen but like everyone in the show seemed to be bothered by Ernie but to me he was the only one who made sense. Ernie didn’t change his view like me and that helped me to be me. He has a sensitivity rarely found in men but common in gay boys. I never once felt he was gay , ever.in fact very heterosexual as Ernis lost his cool around pretty girls. But that didn’t keep me from. Connecting with him.
Barry ,I think I know why Fred didn't offer to help you with guitar. Remember ,he wanted to do his lines and get out.He was probably afraid it would become a distraction. Nothing personal. Hope this helps
Excellent interview. What a humble man Barry Livingston is.
Barry Livingston is such a likeable, comfortable interview subject. Out of ALL of these interviews, he is my hands down favorite.
I'm 70 years old and grew up with My Three Sons. It was more than a TV show, it was a pattern for how to be an upstanding human being. Thank you to Barry and everyone involved with the show!
Thank you Richard. Craig and I love to hear how our interviews impact viewers. Kelley
Yes, how to be tolerant of others, no matter what.
@@richardsmith9609 I'm 60 an I agree 👍 💯
Excellent comment. I agree.
We all love you, Barry!
Barry is so down to earth. And the interviewer is the best at what he does. He always asks the right questions and makes guests feel comfortable.
Always loved Barry Livingston on My Three Sons and always felt not enough story lines were centered on his adorable character. What an eclectic career and wonderful life. Much love to Barry. ❤️
Brilliant interview
Barry is so natural and interesting, I could listen to him for hours. Hope you have him back again. Great interview!
Brilliant interview :)
He and his brother both are such sweet people love them both Sally
My Three Sons was always a mainstay in my home. Barry had such a fantastic quality as a child actor.
What a nice guy Barry is. I like the way he tells a story about someone without putting them down. He is the type of guy who is nice to know; very down to earth.
These actors who were in these wonderful shows seem to be such wholesome individuals. Ty for this retrospective.
I love my three sons.
Grew up with "My Three Sons"-Great show!-I have Barry's book & plan to read it at some point.
He was very good in MTS.👍
Good interviews. I like seeing older TV/movie celebrity interviews and hearing stories about their interactions with legendary stars. And thank you for the timecodes (chapter search)! There are a number of child actors from the 1940s/50s I’d love to see.

He was a great character on MYS. He was funny. And so adorable younger.

Congratulations on 40 years of being married.
I've been watching My Three Sons recently and I realised I only started loving the show when Ernie became part of the family!
The show was still good. Ernie was a great character but I loved the first 2 years of the show.

You were super likeable.

The character actor in “Rally ‘Round the Flag Boys” was Percy Helton not Percy Kilbride as Barry stated.
Barry was born Dec17th, 1953, so he is 70, and will turn 71, this Dec 2024
I always thought Chip would've made a perfect " Dennis the Menace"
I’m shocked that Fred didn’t give Christmas presents to the boys! Wow!
Did you interview Tina Cole? She wrote a book.
We haven't Sue but she is definitely on our list. Thank you for asking. Kelley
@celebritydrop Tina's experience with Fred McMurray and William Demerest will be if interest. You not only ask great questions but you guided the conversation just with a light touch. Very well done 👏

I want to know if it was Barry Livingston in the movie Starman? Yes I watched My 3 Sons from start to finish.Love that show.😊
You could always trying Googling the question: Was Barry Livingston in Starman?
In 1966 March 3rd, "BUB" William Frawley died.
Barry ,I think I know why Fred didn't offer to help you with guitar. Remember ,he wanted to do his lines and get out.He was probably afraid it would become a distraction. Nothing personal. Hope this helps
I have it on good authority that I was named "Robbie" because my mother had a crush on Robbie Douglass. Could I be any more boomer?!?!?!?
Bub passed in 66!!!!
In all his interviews no one asks him about how his teeth got fixed, where were the braces bc his buck teeth were fixed during My Three Sons
I didn't like the show. I sure liked Tina Cole.
Barry is so bald.
Your powers of obversation are quite incredible.. Yes, anyone with working eyes can see Barry is bald.
And, you're quite inelegant to make that comment.
So what?
@1:50 Stanley Livingston I presume?
