we loved watching the partridge family show growing up
it had everything
music, family, adventure, comedy, teen idols
recently
i ran into a real partridge family
following mom
into the tall grass
i was instantly transported
back to that happy, fun, tv family
the flock of kids
following mom onto the family bus.
“I guess every family has to have a black sheep. I always thought ours was Keith.”
-youngest brother danny, on the partridge family

I considered myself too old back then to watch the TV show, but I do remember that it made David Cassidy the biggest teen idol in Britain for a very long time.
Best wishes, Pete.

I hunger for good clean entertainment. There was no remote control way back when and nobody minded getting up and changing the channel.
I don’t have anything I watch regularly now … except the news and weather. I go back far enough that I can remember listening to the radio shows at night before bedtime.

I love it when you share stuff like this – takes me back. I had a couple of their albums and loved watching the show. I had a crush on Susan Dey… had no idea she was on L.A. Law! Way to channel your inner Ferris!

I know, and secondarily on Shirley Jones and Danny Bonaduce. Susan had to wait until “L. A. Law,” I guess…

If you get a chance, watch the Cowsills doc. The PF was based on them. Except they weren’t happy.
