Though not a huge hit while it was on the air, THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY has since come to epitomise many aspects of the early '70s. The show's portrayal of the excitement of a rock & roll lifestyle--however toned down--was quintessentially representative of its time. The family of six is headed by mom Shirley (Shirley Jones), a .. Read more

ONE FLEW OVER THE PARTRIDGE'S NEST

C'MON GET HAPPY!!!! IT'S 'THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY'! They were fab, fun & funky. They're still fab, fun & funky. Remember how they were groovier than 'The Brady Bunch', cooler than 'Happy Days' & hipper than 'Bewitched'? Well, they're still groovier, cooler & hipper. Remember drooling over David Cassidy? Remember how cool Shirley Jones was for a Mom? Remember wondering how Susan Dey staightened her hair? Remember how Danny got his Fanta-coloured hair? Remember how Tracy couldn't play the tambourine? Remember how Chris couldn't drum? Remember singing along to their sweet bumble pop? And remember their groovy, psychedlic school bus. Remember all this & have a '70s flashback. Put on your favoruite flares, your tighest tank top & your rose-tinted sunnies. Sit back in your egg chair, kick off your platform sneakers, & gorge yourself on this feast of partridges without the pear tree. ENJOY!!!!

Family Fun!

Great series and immense family fun. Take it with a pinch of salt, suspend disbelief, time-travel back to the early 70's and have a toe-tapping, relaxing evening with the popcorn! Simple and satisfying.

A bird in the hand...

This brought back great memories from my youth, and Shirley Jones and Susan Dey are as pleasing on the eye as I remember. A fatherless family of 6 travelling the states in a multi-coloured bus playing concerts and making records? Only in the 70s! Great fun, though watching them in these cynical times the moral lesson of each episode is laughable, the miming is pretty poor, the choreography non-existant and the drummer can't drum. Still, all part of it's charm.
