Celebrities in DVD TV Shows

The Partridge Family is an American television sitcom about a widowed mother and her five children who embarked on a music career. The series, which was originally broadcast on ABC, ran for four seasons from 1970 to 1974.

Created by Bernard Slade, the show was inspired by and loosely based on The Cowsills, a real pop music family famous in the late sixties. The cast included Shirley Jones as mother Shirley Partridge, David Cassidy as her eldest son Keith, Susan Dey as Laurie, Danny Bonaduce as Danny, Jeremy Gelbwaks as Chris, and Suzanne Crough as Tracy. Dave Madden played Reuben Kincaid, who was their manager and family friend. At the end of the first season, Jeremy Gelbwaks and his family moved out of Los Angeles and he was replaced by Brian Forster.

The first season of The Partridge Family features the band performing in various venues. The shows would often contrast suburban life with the adventures of a showbiz family "on the road." At the start of the second season, the show focused more on the "at home" themes and less on their touring.
