My Three Sons was always a mainstay in my home. Barry had such a fantastic quality as a child actor.
These actors who were in these wonderful shows seem to be such wholesome individuals. Ty for this retrospective.
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 👍 💯
I love my three sons.
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.
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.
Grew up with "My Three Sons"-Great show!-I have Barry's book & plan to read it at some point.
Barry Livingston is such a likeable, comfortable interview subject. Out of ALL of these interviews, he is my hands down favorite.
Superb interviewing skills. Prompts the guests well.
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!
Congratulations on 40 years of being married.
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. ❤️
Wonderful interview very entertaining!
Excellent interview. What a humble man Barry Livingston is.
He and his brother both are such sweet people love them both Sally
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. 👏👏👏
We all love you, Barry!
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.
Barry is so natural and interesting, I could listen to him for hours. Hope you have him back again. Great interview!
Yeahhh But Barry you were such a great kid everyone loved ERNIE!!!!!!! You had such an old soul for such a young kid too.
You were super likeable.
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.
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!
@@ariag.8745 I just discovered them too. So enjoyable!
Brilliant interview :)
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.
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 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.
Brilliant interview
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.
Ernie was my favorite.
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
Glad you enjoyed it Darmon. Craig and I appreciate your feedback. Kelley
Terrific. Loved this. Please keep them coming. Any chance of Angey Dickinson? Or Earl HOlliman?
Thank you Cary. Angie is definitely on our list so we will keep trying. Kelley
I would love to see Barry more often on General Hospital. This was a wonderful interview !
I still love MTS! Thanks so much for this interview, gentlemen!
Glad you enjoyed it Tanya. Kelley
Thanks ‼️☺️We just had movie night. Then I put my iPad on and CZcams. And you guys popped up. I saw the Stanley interview too. What a pleasure to watch this☺️🤘🏼💕
Glad we topped off your night Rozzy. Thank you for watching. Kelley
What can I say! FANTASTIC!!!❤ Once again THANK YOU Craig and of course THANK YOU Barry!!! CHEERS ❤❤
And thank you Andy. Craig and I appreciate your continued support. Kelley
Very good Vid............
Glad you enjoyed it Randy.
❤❤❤
As always Craig Great Job!!!!!!!!
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
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!
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.
Yes, agree!
That was a great interview, thanks 🤩
Our pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it. Kelley
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
Yeah Tim married Ms Beadle ( Charlotte Stewart)
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.
I started watching Bosch just to see Barry in action. So glad I did, great show and waiting for sequels.
Barry was born Dec17th, 1953, so he is 70, and will turn 71, this Dec 2024
I love Bosch and Yes I saw you Barry...very cool!!!!!
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!
I always thought Chip would've made a perfect " Dennis the Menace"
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.
Very nice man, down to earth..
Really enjoyed listening to your life! Grew up with you…
I’m shocked that Fred didn’t give Christmas presents to the boys! Wow!
Very nice interview.
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 👏
@@SueProvI know she seemed fond of William Demarest
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!!!!!!!!!
The mother was beautiful
In 1966 March 3rd, "BUB" William Frawley died.
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?
Bub passed in 66!!!!
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
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
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?
