Michael, Daniel, and Joseph Todd were the triplets on "My Three Sons"

The television series My Three Sons ran on ABC and later CBS between 1960 and 1972. It was the second-longest-running TV show of its era, with 12 seasons. Ozzie and Harriet were number one with 14 seasons.

In 1968, Robbie Douglas's (Don Grady) wife, Katie (Tina Cole) gave birth to triplets who were portrayed by Michael, Daniel, and Joseph Todd from 1970 to 1972.

The boys were named Robbie, Steve, and Charlie after their father, grandfather Steve (Fred McMurray), and great uncle Charlie O' Casey (William Demarest).

In 1971, Don Grady left his role, and Robbie went to Peru to help build a bridge. Grady stated that his character had no further challenges, and the role seemed automatic.

Once Robbie was gone, Katie moved back into the Douglas household with her boys. During the final 2 seasons of the series, the Todd siblings proved that they were typical boys.

They teased the family dog Tramp, once got lost, and even family members had a hard time telling them apart. Steve once had to take them to work with him one day because he could determine which triplet was which. These boys were active and rambunctious and fans loved the identical siblings.

Following the series finale of My Three Sons, the Todd family remained in San Diego. The brothers did commercials for a California chain called Mr. Steak and also for Doublemint Gum.

They did not, however, choose to remain in the entertainment business. There is not much known about the activities of the Todd triplets after leaving the popular show but thanks to one of the siblings, fans can learn more than they previously knew.

In 1989 the Todd brothers appeared on "The Joan Rivers Show" to talk about their time on the popular sitcom. They have long since left Hollywood behind.

The boys were so young at the time they appeared on My Three Sons that they could not recall much detail from their days on the show. They were shown clips from the series but could not remember the events. There is no information online about the siblings except that they had the roles of Robbie and Katie's sons from 1970-1972.

In 2018, one of the triplets Joseph Todd, who portrayed Charlie gave an interview. He shared that he and his siblings never had a strong desire to remain in showbusiness and at age 19 each enrolled in a different military occupational specialty in the Army.

Joseph said that during their time in the armed forces he and his identical brothers learned how to be individuals and independent of each other. Joseph Todd retired from active duty after 20 years as an Army medic.

The former child star added: "Hollywood always portrays itself as lollipops and rainbows, but there's more to it. If you're interested in that, then you're willing to overlook some things. It's not for everybody,"

He said that acting was just something he and his brothers did but they preferred being outside and playing just like other children. This echoes Michael Jackson, who said that all he and his singing siblings wanted was a normal childhood.

The identical brothers were born on August 5 1967 and were recommended for the roles of the Douglas boys by their grandmother. A casting call had gone out for twins and being triplets, the brother gained the parts.

These boys were adorable as they ran all over the Douglas house on My Three Sons. Their fans are elated that they did not fall into the troubles that have often happened to other former child stars. There is no information online regarding whether or not the Todd Triplets are married or have children.
