My Three Sons (sitcom, starring Fred MacMurray)

    (ABC Primetime, 1960 - 1965;
     CBS Primetime, 1965 - 1972)


Theme 1: "Theme from 'My Three Sons'"

    [aka: "My Three Sons";

     Verified as the THEME in TV Guide article "Looking
     For A Lost Chord?" April 28, 1962, pp. 12-13;
     
     The title above is the most well-known THEME associated with the
     series, and it has been released commercially. It's not known if  
     the THEMES that follow below were ever used for the "Main Title"
     or "End Credits" music. But they are included here for further
     investigation, despite the fact they might have been only interior  
     cues used in episodes of the series.
    
     Usually interior cues are listed in ASCAP as something like
     "My Three Sons Cues". Those below just have the series title.
     So the following titled compositions are listed below as
     "theme possibilities" [under investigation]...
