"I've seen many episodes of this. Bill Bixby prior to the Hulk was fascinating to me. "

"Bill Bixby is so handsome and Brandon Cruz is adorable. I use to watch this as a kid and now I'm rewatching it for the first time as an adult (55!) and of course I'm seeing so much more to the show than I noticed as a child. I'm really loving it. It's so wholesome, especially seeing what today's standards are, which are quite disgusting. I highly recommend this sweet show about a widower and his young son, as they navigate life without a wife and mother, but with the a warm-hearted housekeeper-slash-nanny, Mrs. Livingston, who is Japanese! I'm not sure where you can watch it. I bought the three seasons on DVD and I'm so glad I did!"
