He was, indeed, Italian. please reread the question; I can't give you a correct answer for this, but you get one shot at his name. One shot. Two is pussy.

On My Three Sons, what was the occupation of widower Steven Douglas, played by Fred MacMurray?

I can't find the post with the question but I think that Ralph Malph's father was a dentist.

An engineer?
Steven Douglas was an aeronautical engineer, your answer is close enough. Ralph Malph's father, Mickey Malph, was not a dentist.

There were a couple of times in which two different men won the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a series for the same show, but not in consecutive years. One was for Comedy, the other for Drama. Name either or both pairs.
