Cassidy told CNN that Sony Corp. (SNE) has failed to pay him "a fortune" for what he's owed for merchandise from the show.

"It's just ludicrous and unfair and wrong. It's greed," the 61-year-old actor said.

Cassidy said he was only paid $5,000 for merchandise from "The Partridge Family." Under his 1971 contract with Screen Gems, a division of Columbia Pictures Industries which is owned by Sony, Cassidy was supposed to get 15 percent of net merchandising revenues for the use of his image, voice or likeness.

The show, which aired from 1970 to 1974, spawned merchandise such as lunchboxes, Colorforms' David Cassidy dress-up sets, pins and board games.

"I don't want to shame and embarrass and humiliate them, but I will if I have to," Cassidy told CNN. "You owe me a fortune -- you want to go to trial, big bad Sony against David Cassidy, go ahead."

This is nothing new, David has always complained that he's been left out of monies made on Partridge Family merchandise. I'm tired of hearing about it, but if he's truly owed his share of any profits then yes he should be paid.

I don't know where David gets these Hugh figures from because a lot of the merchandising was cheap. David will have to hire an auditor to get through 40 years if company changes.
Chances are it is not as much as thinks.
His ego gets more inflated as he grows older.
All David was hired to do is sing and act.
