Waiting For Bolero is the episode that made me a fan. The writing on that show was awesome.

"This Male Chauvinist Piggy Went to Market" is my favorite. I love at the end when Keith is about to face-off with Goose and he introduces him to Shirley. Shirley's hand-on-her-hips delivery is priceless: "Oh, it IS? Well I've got a few words to say to you Mr. Goose!". It's so ridiculous yet hysterical.

I also like Keith and Laurie-Belle, the one where Danny steals the pin, Laurie's subsitute teaching gig and the first-season show where Keith dates the women's libber and they sing "I Think I Love You" at the end.

Waiting For Bolero is the episode that made me a fan. The writing on that show was awesome.

Another great episode. Always wondered what "Bolero" was? Was he a recording artist whose music "got you in the mood"?

"But the Memory Lingers On" (The Skunk Episode!) So many classic lines!!!

"Waiting For Bolero." (Keith gets his own place.) Danny charging Keith for his daily special lunches of Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches!

Jack

Where do Mermaids go? Meredith Baxter playing a hippy girl, one of her first rolls and she was a brunette (light brown hair) . That was a beautiful episode!

Road song. The Partridges pick up a young girl hitchhiking , running away from her grandparents home to be with her father in Albuquerque.

A Man Called Snake. Could be Rob Reiner's best acting performance ever.
I Am Curious...Partridge. Danny provides a stream of unlikely gossip about his family to the town paper.
Me and My Shadow. A mystery writer agrees to make a large charitable donation if the Partridges elude him for 24 hours. Best overall episode.
Danny Converts. To Judaism. For a girl.

Don't Bring Your Guns to Town, Santa. A very good Christmas entry.

Special mention: Soul Club. This episode with Richard Pryor and Louis Gossett Jr. suffers from the dual handicaps of being an obvious pilot and being a social awareness "special" episode. Despite that, it's very funny.

I really liked "A Man Called Snake" too! Rob Reiner played a good biker guy! ;)

Soul Club
The Undergraduate
Whatever Happened To Moby Dick?
I Left My Heart in Cincinnati
Double Trouble

The Red Woodloe Story (I'm a William Schallert fan)
Soul Club
Mob Story
My Son the Feminist

I was a fan of the Partridge Family and yet there were some episodes I did not see.
I saw the original series when it was on TV and I am not a "second generation" or "third generation" fan who has only seen it in reruns or on Videos or DVDs or YouTube.

I liked "I am a curious Partridge" and it is probably the one I like best. The plot was funny even though improbable.
But maybe if I saw each and every episode I might like a different one better. I doubt it though.
I think it is sad that by the time "I am a curious Partridge" aired the show was on its way downhill. (When Danny grew to be only about four inches shorter than his older siblings and his mom, it was obvious that he got "significantly older" than when the series first began. A 10 year old can mature physically in only two years and Danny grew to be quite burly).

However, my other favorite episodes were " Dr Jeckyll and Mr Partridge," "I Left My Heart In Cincinnati," "The Memory Lingers," "Anatomy of a Tonsil," "Did You Hear The One About Danny Partridge?" "Each Dawn I Diet" and "See Here Private Partridge."
I might not have named them exactly.

But also, even though I know it is all a matter of opinion, I wonder how some people who posted think that certain episodes were "the best" or "good."

I also know that it is how well the story was written and how well the scenes were acted out that matter even if you dislike what the story gets across, but I did not like "My Son The Feminist" because it did not make one particular female look like a bad feminist, but instead seemed more to make feminism look bad.


I think that "A Man Called Snake" sugarcoated what bikers are like.
Rob Reiner's character was dumb and mildly crass but real bikers from gangs are not cutesy-silly but really intimidating. Snake would probably have lured Lori to the school dance and then kidnapped her and not return her home. The other episode in which "Snake" was depicted by a different actor ( who looked more Hispanic) portrayed Snake's girlfriend as not being afraid of him even if he put his fist near her face. Also she had no black eyes or bruises which probably would not be true of a girlfriend of a biker like Snake.
But the show did not tackle extremely difficult subjects either. It never had very tragic endings or plots. (Not like All In The Family in which Edith's transvestite friend was killed off, and someone got blown up in a car outside the Bunker's home). In one episode a hitch-hiking teen girl was picked up by the Partridge family who tried to help her go back home. In another, a politician tried to court Shirley Partridge but she did not want to date him
if it was just a way to get her to vote for him.
