This sitcom anthology introduces viewers to the wacky world of
the Partridge Family, the best-loved band of 1970s television. Widowed mom
Shirley (Shirley Jones) agrees to quit her bank job and join her five musical
kids in the show's pilot. The band's
optimistic harmony and catchy, bubble-gum spirit is introduced to Hollywood (and
television viewers around the world) by none other than Johnny Cash. Although a
bit rough around the edges, the show introduces teen idol Keith (David
Cassidy), socially conscious Laurie (Susan Dey) and their manipulative preteen
brother Danny (Danny Bonaduce), the capitalist mastermind who brings their
garage recordings to reluctant record executive Reuben Kincaid (Dave Madden).
Cute kids Chris (Jeremy Gelbwaks) and Tracy (Suzanne Crough) round out the
history-making ensemble. |
