Come On, Get Happy: A Partridge Pilgrimage (split)

Ray Bolger is best known for playing the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz, but in later years,
he played Shirley’s father for three episodes on The Partridge Family.

Re: Things You Didn't Know Until You Learned About Them in 2

Those are three awful episodes. There's also a fourth episode with Jackie Coogan playing him. Once a season, they built an episode around Shirley's parents taking mean snipes at each other and threatening to divorce and drawing these poor fatherless kids into it. It was so filled with anxiety.

Comedy!

In the first of these episodes, he joined the band without being asked. But he totally blew my mind by throwing the boys-get-the-matching-collared-shirts-under-the-velvet-jackets/girls-get-the-ruffled-blouses costume scheme under the Mondrian-inspired bus, taking the stage in what looked like one of Shirley's costumes.



There was sort of a Wizard of Oz thing going through the show. Margaret Hamilton played Ruben's disapproving mother.

Re: Things You Didn't Know Until You Learned About Them in 2

Although I watched it religiously, there's very little I remember about the
episodes (stories, plots, etc.) of that show. Plus, it's one that I don't really
remember being too interested in in syndication. I stumbled onto The Scare-
crow following a stupid fb link about Susan Dey. I never learn to not follow
those click bait things that scroll through slideshows and load fourteen ads
each page and god knows what else.

Re: Things You Didn't Know Until You Learned About Them in 2

I ran through the entire run a few years ago when I first started using Netflix. The plots don't hold together well, and the lack of consistency from episode to episode is ridiculous when you binge watch 'em. The same kid plays like four different Laurie boyfriends.

The music still holds up though.

Maybe Laurie's boyfriend didn't like being dumped, so he just pretended to be somebody else again and again so he'd keep getting another shot at her.

It sounds like it worked.

Here he is: Bruce Kimmel. He played four roles over five episodes — all, I believe, were as various paramours of Laurie.

"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Partridge" (1971) ... Freddy
"The Partridge Papers" (1972) ... Marvin
"You're Only Young Twice" (1972) ... Richard Whipple
"Me and My Shadow" (1973) ... Richard Whipple
"The Last of Howard" (1973) ... Howard Krump

I too have taken the bait on that Laurie Partridge lure more times than I'd like to admit.

For a while in Kollege we used to gather round the old console TV to watch the "family" as it aired (I believe at 10 am on TBS). Good times!

Haven;t seen a PF episode in years. Bradys also seemed to have disappeared. At one time they were like Coca-Cola. Wherever you were, within a short reach.

That Partridge funk song is dangerously sexy. I don't know that I could shout

"I'll treat you like a woman!
Love you like a woman
Lord, I'll prove it baby, I'm a MAN OF MY WORD!!!"


... while my mom is singing backup. It kind of sounds like funk-era Temptations. And good funk-era Temptations, too.

The last year or two, the music selections actually got somewhat better, with them paying a little more, and going beyond their house composer (Tony Romeo) and getting Goffin & King and Wes Ferrell & Tony Asher songs, including songs ("I'm into Something Good," "Oh, No, Not My Baby"), that had already been hits for other folks. I don't think these make it on to the albums, so you have a point there.

The Partridge Family, fake act though they may have been, released eight studio albums. That's more than the Eagles!

There's a song on there "Brand New Me" that had two of my cousins collapse in giggles at the chorus but when I asked one of them recently what was so funny, she didn't recall. Any ideas? (it was the "feet are on the ground" part. I know I'm naive, but so were they....)

Re: Things You Didn't Know Until You Learned About Them in 2

I don't know what your cousins were laughing about, Cooby, but "Brand New Me" is a good-assed song. In season one, they sang it in an episode where the whole family got skunked. They couldn't miss their show at the children's hospital so they got themselves cleaned up in clothes they borrowed from around the hotel. Shirley ended up in the sexy cigarette girl's clothes, because of course she did.

News coming over the wire that David Cassidy is on life support after an episode of some sort has led to organ failure, which doesn't sound optimistic. So enjoy "Brand New Me" and say a prayer for David.

Sentences I never thought I'd type on the Crane Pool Forum: This here Partridge Family discussion now warrants a split off into its own thread



My one connection to the ersatz Cowsills were that my cousins were just the right age to be pulled totally into that orbit for a short time. You know the old line, usually concerning a man's man type of guy,
where all the men want to be him and all the women want to be with him. Well that, only shifted so as to apply to a TV pop star and tween-agers, was Cassidy and this trio of cousins where older sister had
a total crush on him while the two slightly younger brothers wanted to dress like David/Keith, wear their hair like he did, etc.
All grew up to be reasonably normal people but if I ever wanted to embarrass any of them, one in particular who generally comes off as ultra-cool even today at 50+, I know I could just spring the Partridge
Family / Cassidy-worship card within earshot of folks and his hip quotient would plummet like it stepped out a window of a 50 story building.

But other than the times I spent with that crew on a couple of week-long vacations during which I got immersed in PF, I doubt I saw more than a handful of episodes.
Wasn't really a Brady Bunch guy either but my BB watching easily swamped PF many times over.

Re: Happy Together: A Partridge Pilgrimage (split)

I got no shame. Me gusta los Partridges. I was into any and all musical TV shows. But their songs, beyond Cassidy's breathy delivery, were high-end stuff that held up even as I grew older and developed what I fancied were sophisticated, counter-cultural tastes. To later find out that The Wrecking was all over it, that this poor little kid actor/non-drummer was miming parts laid down by the great Hal Blaine is pretty hilarious when you think about it.

But also, Dave Madden as Ruben Kinkaid had top-shelf comedy chops, and Danny Bonaduce was a good relatable analog for a kid. He was the original Alex Keaton! It one episode, they're afraid their show won't go on, because the hotel they're supposed to play at is having a labor walkout, and Danny sides with management! Good stuff!

But you know who gave me crap back in the day? My grandmother! One Christmas, my cousin got some Partridge Family paper dolls. She asked me to pick a costume out for Danny and put it on him, and my grandmother started dumping on me! "What are you doing?! I can't believe my grandson wants to play with DOLLS!"

Yeah, well, it's the Partridges, and you're out of line, old lady!

In the awful 1999 ABC TV film Come on, Get Happy, there's a completely fictitious scene in which Partridges climb into the music mobile and ride on over to the Paramount lot to throw down with the Bradys. It never happened, but if awards were given for the campy ridiculousness, the scene would take the gold medal.

2:19 of that video: The very same shot when Dennis Eton-Hogg appears behind Janine in SPINAL TAP.

I may have told this story before but the Partridge Family was the first place I'd ever heard of tacos. Keith was always running off to the taco stand, and that seemed like an impossibly exotic food and something that only Californians had. Swedish meatballs (and my neighbor's korean bulgogi recipe) was about as World Cuisine as it ever got in my home and we hardly ever went to a restuarant.

Unless I'm mistaken I didn't eat a taco until we had to do some event related to my 8th grade Spanish class, and as tasted it I was like, this is what Keith Partridge eats. I still think about him when I think about tacos.

The Partridge Family deserved its MAD magazine treatment as The Putrid Family -- my favorite aspect of which was Shirley dressed in a New York Football Giants uniform, complete with eyeblack, explaining to Reuben that she had to be both mother and father to these kids -- but I appreciated its existence in real time. I liked that there were kids dressing mod, as my mother would put it, singing real pop tunes. I liked the non-traditional lifestyle that involved tours and buses and whatever happened to Mr. Partridge anyway? I liked the sneaky wit that occasionally infiltrated the dialogue (Danny quoted Barry Goldwater in one episode). I liked trying to figure out what a family act that included two children of single-digit age was doing packing nightclubs full of adults. And I fucking loved David Cassidy's hair, which mine was never going to be like but I didn't give up brushing it aspirationally, consciously or otherwise, for decades. David/Keith taught me the logistics of singing into a microphone, albeit a pretend one for me (which is OK, since he was lip-syncing). To this day I sing into anything that will fit inside my fist or, failing that, my fist itself.

They peaked on the charts before I became aware of "the charts," so the only hit of theirs I remember as current on the radio was "Looking Through The Eyes Of Love," which reached No. 39 in early 1973. Holds up well to these ears (which would be covered with awesome Cassidyian locks if I had anything to do with it).

Jesus, TPF was my introduction to tacos, too. And I never had a taco until junior high Spanish, either (7th grade; I must have been advanced). It was at the height of the "making them!/eating them!" taco consciousness-raising ad campaign, brought to you by Ortega.

A trip to California demystified the whole taco thing somewhat. Taco Bell didn't arrive in the general vicinity of where I was until the late '70s. First trip to the one in Oceanside was disappointing.

A grossly disproportionate part of my brain is devoted to TPF facts, and here's one: After the production, the bus was put on display at ... a taco stand! Lucy's Tacos on Martin Luther King Blvd, right by USC, had it for years, and it's probably a good guess that this was the taco stand on the show.

After the stand closed, the bus went off to the dump. The husk is rusting somewhere, with at least a couple of different folks claiming they've found it. But the problem is that there were copycats of the tell-tale Mondrian paint job.
