The final tour of the Partridge Family is just around the bend. Before Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers, the teenage girls of America went nuts for Keith Partridge. Your mom might still have her old copies of Tiger Beat with Keith on the cover. Keith and his siblings along with their mom rocked every showroom in America. Plus they got into insane adventures that mostly involved girls wanting to hook up with Keith. The fine folks at Sony Pictures Home Entertainment sent over this press release:
Final Season Available on DVD February 3
THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY:
THE COMPLETE FOURTH SEASON
and Danny Bonaduce
All 22 Episodes in a Three-Disc Boxed Set
Culver City, Calif. (November 24, 2008) – The grooviest rock n’ roll family ever takes their final bow when Sony Pictures Home Entertainment debuts The Partridge Family: The Complete Fourth Season on DVD February 3. Top guest stars this season include Gordon Jump (TV’s WKRP in Cincinnati), Cheryl Ladd (TV’s Charlie’s Angels), Emmy® Award winner Pat Harrington, Jr. (One Day at a Time), and Jackie Coogan (The Adams Family). The three-disc set contains all 22 episodes from the fourth season and will be available for $29.95 SRP.
SYNOPSIS
This season the family tries unsuccessfully to conserve energy; Laurie (Dey) poses as Keith’s (Cassidy) date to make other girls jealous but the plan backfires; Danny (Bonaduce) wants to impress a girl by telling her rabbi father that the Partridges are Jewish and the whole family is invited to dinner; and Shirley (Jones) tries to hire a maid, but it’s all in the family when her mother shows up to apply for the job.
The Partridge Family, which burst onto the television scene in September 1970, centers on a fatherless family of six who form a rock band and tour the country in their psychedelic-painted bus. The band’s members include mom Shirley (Shirley Jones) and her five kids: oldest son Keith (teen idol David Cassidy), keyboardist Laurie (Susan Dey), bassist and get-rich-quick schemer Danny (Danny Bonaduce), and the two youngest Partridges, Chris (Brian Forster) and Tracy (Suzanne Crough). The family’s frequently exasperated manager Reuben Kincaid (David Madden) rounds out the cast.
The Partridge Family’s success crossed over to the pop charts when several Partridge Family songs became genuine hits, including the theme “C’mon, Get Happy,” which debuted during the second season, and the number one hit “I Think I Love You.” The Partridge Family ran for four seasons on ABC and was nominated for five Golden Globe® Awards, including one for Best Musical/Comedy.
