I've seen "The Partridge Family" cast on "Today",and I can't wait to see "The Partridge Family Movie" coming this year.

Shirley Jones,Danny Bonaduce,Brian Forster,Suzanne Crough,Dave Madden and David Madden was there. Too bad David Cassidy and Susan Dey didn't show up for the TV reunion.
Bernard Slade(The creator of the series) was there too.
Now,if only Jeremy Gelbwaks and Ricky Segall came along,then the Partridges could do like the Brady Bunch did: be on "The Weakest Link",or how about a "Partridge Family" version of "Survivor". I would like that!

I watched "Today" this morning,and it had the cast of "The Partridge Family" on it. There was Shirley Jones(Shirley Partridge),
David Cassidy(Keith Partridge),Danny Bonaduce(Danny Partridge),
Brian Forster(Christopher Partridge #2) and Suzanne Crough(Tracy Partridge). Although Susan Dey (Laurie Partridge) couldn't make it,they showed a clip of the pilot with the family singing "Let The Good Times In" with a "Susan Dey-like stand-in". Dave Madden(Reuben Kincaid),Jeremy Gelbwaks(Christopher Partridge #1),and Ricky Segall(Ricky Stevens) also did not join the cast reunion,but it was "The Partridge Family" even with their school bus in the background(which in fact wasn't the real one. The original was a 1957 Chevy bus which was last seen at a resturaunt and was destroyed). The Partridge Family is one family I wished I lived with in the 1970's.
