Like a groovy Family von Trapp, The Partridge Family arrived in 1970 with matching velvet outfits and wholesomeness bursting from every pore. Watching it now, you expect little more than kitsch--but the show, though certainly a sitcom representation of the world, is curiously fresh and appealing. This sheer likeability comes partly from the cast--Shirley Jones (The Music Man) looks foxy in miniskirts while still being the cool mom everyone wishes they had; teen idol David Cassidy is unexpectedly engaging as an actor (his charisma is all the more apparent when another teen idol, Bobby Sherman, makes a wooden appearance); and Danny Bonaduce's child-star rise sprang not from cuteness but his genuine comic timing. It doesn't hurt that many of the troubles the characters faced--swelled heads, rivalry, groupies (!)--were undoubtedly problems the actors were facing as their show became a hit.

Sure, there are utterly ridiculous episodes, such as when Danny is tutoring a mob boss's girlfriend about the stock market and the gangster, not knowing Danny is only 10 years old, gets jealous--but most episodes feature ordinary show business conflicts or straightforward family issues, like how the kids cope when their mother starts dating or how teenager Laurie (Susan Dey, who later went on to L.A. Law) feels ugly when she gets braces. This simplicity, combined with some classic vaudeville-style humor, proves surprisingly durable. Plus, the list of guest stars ranges from Ray Bolger (best known as the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz) to a young Richard Pryor, as well as other soon-to-be-famous folk like Charlie's Angels' Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith and a pre-Star Wars Mark Hamill. The first season collection includes a bonus CD with four of the Partridge Family's actual radio hits; their sound, a fusion of the Monkees and the Mamas and the Papas, is pure pop sugar (created by a host of Brill Building songwriters like Neil Sedaka). If the Mondrian-inspired paint job on the Partridge Family bus gives you childhood flashbacks, you'll happily regress when you watch this box set. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews of The Partridge Family - The Complete First Season

Bought the DVD
I've waited for years to see this wonderful show on DVD. Finally that day has arrived. My only complaint being, Shirley Partridge was the not the ideal mother we thought her to be! This woman picked up hitch-hikers, let strange men share beds with her sons, and horror of horrors, allowed her beautiful boy Keith to sleep in a prison with horny criminals. If you think I'm lying, just check out this DVD. What seemed like innocence now seems like child endagerment.


Memory lane re-visited!
First of all, my 12 year old son loves this show...what does this mean? Maybe seeing a more innocent era of life on the screen? Well, for whatever reasons he likes, I know why this 50 year old woman loves it...David Cassidy!! Watching these episodes again took me right back to Friday nights as a 15 year old and swooning over Keith Partridge. I loved the show then and I love it now. It's fluff at it's best. Sure, there are things that annoy me about the show, like why isn't EVERY episode about Keith...lol...but this is inexpensive enough to be what it is, a sitcom from the early 70's. As others have said, it's been fun to see who showed up in guest spots on the show and in addition to those previously mentioned, Jaclyn Smith shows up in one, too! The Partridge Family is what it is...a harmless family show with laughs, music and one hot teen idol. No more, no less. Enjoy watching it!


A Little Slice Of Childhood Breaks The Surface!
I was one year old when the show premiered, but I watched The Partridge Family in syndication from as far back as I can remember. The quaint nostalgia still holds pretty strong when viewing the first season. "Come On Get Happy" the theme to The Partridge Family show has not yet evolved from "When We're Singin'" but that's okay. The writing was pretty sharp and Danny Bonaduce is hilarious as the midget businessman of the family. Some of the shows strain a little, especially when they deal with more grown-up problems, but overall it's is good to bring the Partridge's back into my living room. Different house and different mind, but still a warm and funny show. Rox!
