Fellas you bring up some good points. However, regarding the "Barbara Lost" title, it does make sense if you think of it in this context: When Barbara and Dodie visit the recording studio to watch John Simpson work, Barbara is amazed that John knows what every button on the recording console does. He has to, he's also the producer! She then wonders if Chip gets into music will he be able to handle the switch from Chemical Engineering to Music? This she relays to Steve who obviously has the same concerns about the situation.

A website you might like to visit is one I found about Historical Boys Clothing. It is hysterical really, but they had a page on "My Three Sons" that was so bad --(literally) with factual errors that I felt I had to let them know, which I did. This was several months ago, but let me just say the end of the article had the following to say (from an Australian no less!):

American television programs are shown all over the world. We have often wondered how these programs are precieved in the various countris where they are shown. An Australian reader reports, "I loved this show as a boy in the 1960's and connected with Chip because he was about my age. My dad thought it was rediculous for boys to wear long pants in the hot summer season. Boys here in Australia wore shorts, especially during the summer. My nanna often quipped that the younger boys like Chip and older brother Robbie should've worn shorts because they were children not grown adults plus they were both under 16. She remarked that if they were her grandchildren they would have been in shorts and proper school uniforms like her big brood of grand children and only wear longs in late fall/autumn or all of winter."
