I don't think any of us can claim to truly understand the logic behind why paramount does some shows split season and others full seasons. My best guess is they use a formula based on the total rights and remastering cost to release the show and how many copies they anticipate it will sell to arrive at how many copies they need to sell to make a profit and if it doesn't come out to enough then they do a split season.
And in the case of My Three Sons when they added in the high cost to pay Capitol Records for the original music use they probably couldn't arrive at a profit even with a split season release so they decided to rescore it vs. not release it at all. So if these season one releases do not sell it is highly unlikely that we will ever see My Three Sons released on DVD.
