From Season 1, Episode 1 'What? and Get Out of Show Business?' - Recently widowed mother and bank teller, Shirley Partridge, struggles to raise her five children who are playing in a band together. Older brother and sister Keith (Lead vocals and guitar) and Laurie (Keyboards).

I'm now 60 years old, and it brought me right back to that nite! It was so real to me...what a feeling of happiness I got watching. I still have my Partridge family lunch box! It never occurred to me that the family was not real, it was all so good, and magical to me! Thanks for sharing!

The pilot and the first season are special. They focus on the Partridges’ initial show business success: going on the road, cutting their first album, doing publicity, trying to impress influential columnists, etc. There’s a sense of adventure in these episodes. Shirley sums it up at the end of the first episode: “The next few months were going to be hectic, exasperating, frustrating, confusing and hysterical. And you know something? I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.” When the show returned for its second season, the show biz plots were toned down and they went on the road far less frequently. It became less unique and more of a standard domestic sitcom, just one where they sang a song weekly.

If these vocals don't quite sound like David Cassidy's it's because this song was recorded prior to filming the pilot and before the producers discovered that David Cassidy could sing.

Someone recently said that the season 1 theme song (When We're Singing, later changed to Come On Get Happy) was not sung by David Cassidy, but by Sonny Geraci of Time Won't Let Me and Precious & Few fame. I was unable to verify this info anywhere, but I'm fascinated by the idea. The season 1 theme song does sound kinda like Cassidy, but the season 2-4 theme songs are very clearly David Cassidy. Sonny Geraci was known to sing with the Roy Hicklin singers. In fact, the hit song Precious & Few, on which Sonny sings lead, is them singing backup. So Precious & Few is essentially a Partridge Family song, with Sonny on lead vocals instead of David. Does anyone know if it's true that Sonny Geraci really sang lead on When We're Singing (the Partridge Family Season 1 theme song?) If it's not David Cassidy, it sure seems like whoever it is is trying to sound like him.

It’s a very strong pilot. I love the narration from Shirley at the end where she says (about their initial tour), “You know something? I wouldn’t have missed it for the world!” Makes it feel like we’re starting an adventure with the family. The first season fulfilled some of that, too - with a good number of episodes taking place on the road. From the second season on, it was more like a standard domestic sitcom, with fewer road shows and fewer episodes about the music business - just standard plots with a song thrown in at the end. But that first season had some magic.

My sister was the recipient of Gordon Jump’s generosity, along with his wife. She was suddenly a single mom in the late 1990s and she told me that one Christmas, when she lived in Costa Mesa, the Jumps brought over a Christmas tree and many gifts for her and the kids, plus a Christmas dinner. Then, later, Gordon and his wife would take her on errands or even drive her and the kids to Church, if she needed it. She said the Jumps genuinely seemed to enjoy helping her, and it was never awkward, but was only done with love. 😊

Does anybody notice there are two different buses in the pilot episode of The Partridge Family? The school bus at the used car lot had the red stop lights above the windshield, when the bus the family was painting did not have the red stop lights over the windshield

There was probably more than one bus. I used to live on Laurel Canyon Blvd in the San Fernando Valley in the early 70s. The Partridge Bus drove past our , but alas, no Partridges in the bus.

My friend had the Olds Cutlass used for Wonder Years, they too used 2 cars for their filming. My friends car had a different antennae from stock equipment (a spring base) sorry you could tell the difference on screen.

I noticed! The school bus on the lot was a newer model. Other vehicles and a strategically-placed David Cassidy helped obscure the grill. The designs of the different cabs is the real give-away.

And Shirley goes from wearing a coat to not wearing a coat whilst still driving! Maybe she has a bit of Samantha Stevens in her 🤣 they lived in the same street!

Perhaps Danny refused to buy it. He was really high pressing that salesman.

'song was written for 5 voices', 'just the 5 us in our garage' I guess singing was the only career available since math skills were really poor. Oh I loved this show and music. Still do - 53 years later.
