On September 25, 1970, in the 8:30 p.m. time slot immediately
following "The Brady Bunch," ABC premiered a program that
would give television production company Screen Gems its
second TV-to-pop-chart smash: "The Partridge Family."

Unwilling to rest as a one-hit wonder when its first big hit,
"The Monkees," went off the air in 1968, Screen Gems was
wasting no time in trying to repeat its success.

The series follows the lives of a fictional pop music band
formed by the titular family, including Shirley (Shirley Jones),
Keith (David Cassidy), Laurie (Susan Dey), and Danny (Danny
Bonaduce), as well as their manager Reuben Kincaid (Dave
Madden).

The family was loosely based on the real-life musical family
the Cowsills, a popular band in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
