I kinda like it. The music ain't that bad. It's almost like the Monkees.
	What?!?!?!?!

I watched those & the Brady Bunch ones, when I was like 4 or 5 years old Partridge Family is like a cross between The Brady Bunch, The Monkees, & the Osmonds. Besides, I've always Shirley Jones

Don't think it will, Mike Nesmith was never really happy about the songs after the first season, or some of the stunts.

But, though he wasn't happy, he nevertheless went along with the stunts and music, mainly cos the fans liked them. Whether he's still alive or not, I dunno. They were into some heavy drugs around the time of the movie, and the all had a rep for arriving on set high as a kite. Try Googling Nesmith, you never know.

He's still around, just hiding under a rock. It is DavyJones that is still famous. probably because Marcia Brady made him so popular(haven't even seen the Brady Bunch and I know that!)

A bit like how Mick Fleetwood is the leader of Fleetwood Mac, but others do the singing (especially Stevie Nicks ).

Redneck Posts: 2,660 Group: Movie Era 1000 post angel Member #5,962 Joined: August 9, 2010	Okay, finally got one episode to go on the first season of the Patridge Family. Slow going. kinda like it. Musics okay. Interesting that keith dated Annette O'toole and Laurie dated Mark Hamill. Still can't believe i never saw this show before last July. I must have been under a rock in Canada or something. on the bonus features they have the Partridge Family 2200AD. Apparently when Hanna Barbara attempted another season of the Jetsons, the network told them the Jetsons were lame and they's only run another season if the Jetsons were replaced with the Partridges!
