Actors who appeared on both “My Three Sons” and “All In the Family” - ? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

We all know that M3S and AITF had so little in common, aside from both being CBS domestic sitcoms whose periods overlapped very briefly -- as one series ended and the other began. The fact that they offered such totally different views of family life seems to make for very few (if any) comparison opportunities.

But I thought it would be fun to try to list any actors who appeared in at least one episode of each series. (You can include “Archie Bunker’s Place” if you’d like.) Here are a couple to get things started:

Doris Singleton
Burt Mustin

Thanks for adding any names that may come to mind.

Did Jean Stapleton have a bit part in one of the b/w M3S?

biffbronson · 04-14-2018, 09:19 PM

Your recall was better than mine in this instance. I looked her up to see which one that was, and Jean did appear in a Season 4 episode, "The People's House."

Very good catch! Thanks.

Here's another name for the list:

James Gregory

If Shirley Mitchell appeared in AITF, that would be another one.

Jean Stapleton, Bill Quinn, Jane Dulo, Kim Hamilton, and Richard McKenzie all appeared in both.

Mitzi Hoag appeared on M3S and Archie Bunker’s Place.

Thanks guys, those are interesting additions!

How about Ken Lynch? I think he did one M3S and if I'm remembering correctly, wasn't he the fridge repairman on AITF?

I've neglected to add Bob Hastings.
His season 12 episode of M3S aired today on MeTV. Well-remembered from Kelsey's Bar on AITF (and also familiar to fans of The Donna Reed Show).

What did he do on Donna Reed? I do remember him from McHale's Navy.

Bump

I'm bringing this thread back as evidence that I'm a fan of both series (M3S and AITF).
