comment
This 1970-74 half-hour Sitcom was part of ABC's Friday night lineup and is inextricably bound to The Brady Bunch, its companion in the previous time slot, in the minds of those old enough to have seen it during its original run. It depicted the life and adventures of a family Garage Band that suddenly got their big break and shot to top 40 success after adding their thirty-something mother to the lineup. The cast featured Hollywood favorite Shirley Jones (best known up to this point for her roles in a number of classic movie musicals) and Dave Madden, a veteran of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. The series also featured Jones' stepson David Cassidy, whom it subsequently launched into brief but intense teen idol superstardom. Also included in the young cast were future star Susan Dey (later of L.A. Law) and future scandal-wracked DJ Danny Bonaduce.Like The Monkees before it, The Partridge Family was predicated on its music, and like The Monkees early days the music was created almost entirely independently of the cast. Unlike the work of Messrs. Dolenz, Jones, Nesmith and Tork, this never changed through the life of the show/group. The majority of the songs were performed by studio musicians and vocalists, with Cassidy and Jones adding lead and background vocals respectively. Producer/songwriter Wes Farrell led the studio artists and essentially created the sound of the Partridge Family. The actual songs were written by a collective of successful pop song writers, including Tony Romeo, Terry Cashman, Tommy West, Barry Mann, and Cynthia Weil.The Partridge Family was originally proposed as a vehicle for the real-world family rock group The Cowsills (famous for their hits "Indian Lake," "The Rain, The Park and Other Things," and "Hair"). However, the erstwhile producers determined that the Cowsills, while musically talented, were not charismatic enough to carry a television series except for the youngest girl; furthermore, they felt the children were all already too grown up for their plans. The Cowsills' involvement was quickly abandoned and the concept retooled to focus on a fictional family band. Alternately, some accounts claim that the Cowsills walked out on the project on their own accord when the producers refused to use their mother, Barbara, and cast Shirley Jones instead, or that the producers got fed up with the Cowsills' Jerkass Stage Dad Bud and dropped the band.

They congratulate each other on their success and make fun of Keith's gullibility just as he gets home from buying groceries. He's so upset that he spends the next hour in the garage until the others go in to apologize.

A Day in Her Apron: In "This Male Chauvinist Piggy Went to Market," the students at Keith and Laurie's high school are required to take the opposite gender's classes so they can learn how other people live. The two have a contest to see whether Keith can do better at cooking than Laurie can at car maintenance. Naturally, Laurie does everything perfectly, while Keith's spinach soufflé turns out so inedible, he uses it as a planter.

Well, maybe it is better if he does think it's only a simple operation. The truth won't make the end any easier."

Bedtime Brainwashing
 The Partridge Family / int_56572916
comment
Bedtime Brainwashing: Done accidentally in one episode. Keith stayed up all night writing a song. In the morning, Danny announced that a song "came to him in a dream" and got credit for writing it. (Keith gets revenge by writing a deliberately bad song on a subsequent night, after which Danny laments that his muse has flown.)

Green Aesop: In "Whatever Happened to Moby Dick?" the band records a song with whale singing in the background, with lyrics like "If people don't listen, and people don't know, might the song of the man be the next song to go?" They donate all their profits to the New York Zoological Society.

Performance Anxiety

Performance Anxiety: Before the band's first public performance, Shirley is so anxious she has trouble moving her mouth and is afraid she'll faint on stage. She does fine; it's the kids who end up freezing up, and she has to tell them to close their eyes and pretend they're still in their garage. In "The Red Woodloe Story," the titular folk singer agrees to perform with them, but on the first night he gets scared and leaves before he's supposed to appear. The next night he tries to do the same thing, but Tracy stops him and helps him overcome his stage fright.

Time to Move: "For Sale by Owner" starts out as an inversion - the kids want to move, while Shirley wants to stay. Eventually the kids come around to Shirley's point of view, but by that point Reuben has already made a deal to sell the house. The kids spend the rest of the episode trying to get out of the contract.

Animated Adaptation: Several were made, most notably the Jetsons Expy Partridge Family: 2200 AD, for which Danny Bonaduce, Suzanne Crough and Brian Forster reprised their roles from the original show. Not quite the same thing, but Danny, Laurie, Chris, and Tracy, appeared in several episodes of the Hanna-Barbera series Goober and the Ghost Chasers.note Here, they were billed as "The Partridge Kids."

comment
Embarrassing Animal Suit: In "Bedknobs and Drumsticks," the characters have to dress up in chicken costumes for a fast food ad, so they deliberately make the ad as terrible as possible so the company won't be able to use it. According to her personal website, this was Shirley Jones's least favorite episode.

comment
Le Film Artistique: Reuben takes the kids to an experimental film in "Fellini, Bergman, and Partridge." All we learn about the plot is that it features exploding flowers and an asparagus patch covered in shaving cream. Laurie likes it, but the others all think it's nonsense, including Reuben.

comment
The Alleged Car: Keith's car is completely covered in rust and breaks down constantly, and he ends up in debt to all his family members trying to keep it running. He eventually sells it so he can take his girlfriend to the prom, only to buy an equally crappy motorcycle afterwards.

Out Sick: The titular band was going to have a friend named Gloria as part of it but she got sick on the last day they could borrow instruments, so their mother became part of the band instead.
