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

Our family had a blast watching these episodes with Shirley, Keith, Danny and the rest of the Partridge family. What a fun blast from the past.

This DVD set is great piece of nostalgia! I used to watch The Partridge Family every Friday night after The Brady Bunch when I was a kid!

I can't beleive i waited all week as a kid to watch this Friday nights. I forgot how corny this show was. It does, however, bring back memories. You can pick episodes to watch, but one drawback is that you can't move forward or back in an episode. I found this out when i saw that Farrah Fawcett made a guest appearance, but I couldn't play it back for my husband.

i am not sure how i discovered this show. all i remember was i was very young when i first saw it. i did not see the entire series, so when the show became available on dvd i became very happy. the thing is i don't recall seeing many of the first season's episodes. i started watching this show during season two, i believe.
my favorite episode on this season is the one when the partridge family gets lost and winds up in a community where two brothers are struggling to keep their club open. ... Read More
