Ward is a white collar, brief case-toting professional. It was revealed in Season 3, Episode 19 that Ward works for a trust company under Mr. Anderson. He wears a suit, works in an office with a view of a metropolitan area, has a secretary named Grace, leaves home early in the morning and returns in the early evening. He works for a "big company" with main offices in New York City. He drives to work in his Plymouth unless June needs the car during the day for a specific errand. He is home on weekends for golfing at a local country club. Occasionally, Ward is required to do some office work at home.

You could substitute my dad in this description. Fits to a T other than the names and the golfing. He even had a Plymouth.

I think they were lacking the ability to build story lines around women, because all women did were stay home and be homemakers. Women were boring. Except on Andy Griffith who, I think, had a phone operator and a teacher.

 
"Big Valley" had Barbara Stanwyck as the spirited, widowed matriarch, but her offspring were adults.  "Julia" was apparently the first show with a single mother with a child.  I had mistakenly thought it was "One Day At A Time".

Steve Douglas (Fred McMurray) did get married just as 'My Three Sons' was about running out of gas as a show.  There was an annoying step-daughter added in as well.  I didn't realize that the William Frawley character was their grandfather.  What happened to him?  And how did they replace him with the terminally PO'ed Uncle Charlie?  I heard that he wasn't really their uncle and that he was an old family friend that was living the rugged, alcoholic ex-saior's life in the rundown part of town when Fred McMurray invited him to stay with him and the boys.  Why would someone like that want to live with another guy and three teenaged boys?  One other thing: what happened to Mike?  It seems he got married and he was forgotten about (no occasional special guest appearance like Don Knotts did a few times on Andy Griffith).  So I guess Mike went the same way as Chucky Cunningham.  I know.  I know.  It's just TV.  I need to relax and roll with it.

 
Yes; I believe he married "B"-actress Beverly Garland and adopted her daughter as a result.  William Frawley (known as "Bub") left under the suspicious premise of "visiting his mother" or his "aunt" as far as I can remember.  Of course, it's amazing that a man who was obviously in his late 70's would have either relative living.  I think "Uncle Charlie" was supposed to be Bub's brother when he "dropped anchor" with Steve and the boys, only to be a grumbling, discontented domestic.  Mike "got married" and vanished, only returning to get bitch-slapped by George C. Scott in the film "Patton".  Years ago, there was an article in "Spy" magazine which maintained that Fred MacMurray was actually more like the dark character he played in "Double Indemnity", and that he in some way, disposed of Bub and Mike.
