Danny Bonaduce on "A Bunny For Tabitha" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

AB · 06-09-2008, 05:05 PM

Has anyone seen this episode with Danny Bonaduce? He plays kind of a brat on the episode when he gets invited to Tabitha's birthday party. He also looks older than the other children. Any thoughts on it?

Danny was also a semi regular on "Mayberry RFD". His father Joseph Bonaduce worked on Mayberry & was a prolific writer and became even more successful landing regular work on "One Day At A Time" and many others. In Danny's self story TV movie, "Come On Get Happy" it was never mentioned that his father got him his early work, it only portrayed Joseph's intense jealousy of his son when he got "The Partridge Family".

His father was also physically abusive to Danny.

In that pic above, Danny looks like Alfred E. Newman from MAD magazine.

Sam: "That is not nice to punch Annabell in the stomach!"
Danny: "Where should I punch her?"

I want to make it perfectly clear that I'm no fan of Joseph Bonaduce (does anyone know what happened to Joseph?) and I am a big fan of Danny, but part of liking Danny is to also know and accept that Danny is a great story teller and knows how to get the best entertainment value when telling one. I absolutely believe Danny was abused but he does stretch the truth to benefit him and to get a laugh and attention at anyone's and everyone's expense.

Danny has a radio show. He was on the air with Adam Corolla but apparently Corolla did not like Danny talking so much, etc. The ratings went up when Danny first appeared with Adam, so I am sure the ratings went down once Danny left and got his own show.

Danny's father was also a writer on another favorite show of ours, Good Times. In 2001 I was visiting a friend who lived in Van Nuys at the time, and we went to the Universal Citywalk. Who did I bump into but Danny Bonaduce? I actually got his autograph and took a picture with him. He was very nice and courteous to me, so I have to give him credit for that.

He had his daughter with him.

I remember you mentioning that before. I feel for Danny. Yeah, he is a loud-mouth, he is obnoxious at times, but hey, the guy can at least admit his faults and doesn't try and pretend to be something he is not. Danny has dealt with abuse and substance abuse. He had a beautiful wife and talks nothing but nice things abt her. Charlie Sheen should learn a thing or two from Danny. I would rather spend a day with Danny chatting away then being with those bastards the Hulk family.

Plus, Danny is smart. It seems you could discuss just about anything with him. I wish The Other Half had succeeded - I loved that show!!!

I miss that show. That show was a helluva lot better than the View. It was a great talk show.

It sure was. It was fun, upbeat, and they covered such a wide range of topics. Everything from men's fashions to finances to cooking, and then some. I was still in college when it began and also working, so I would often watch The Other Half as I ate breakfast and got ready to go out for the day. It seems so long ago now...

BTW, do you remember who they got to replace Dr. Jan when he left the show? I can't remember if they replaced him or just left the void.

Yes, they replaced Dr. Jan with Dorian Gregory of Charmed. (Dorian was a hottie, by the way.

Not quite as hot as Gregory Sierra, but I digress.

) Before Dorian came aboard, it was just Danny, Dick and Mario for a few weeks.

When it was just the three of them, I remember they started off one episode with a discussion about virginity. It was a discussion that was so deep, so intense (especially some of the comments from the audience) - it felt like you were actually in the audience live as it was happening. I've never forgotten that.

Oh ok, that's right. Damn, I couldn't remember.

One thing that stood out to me was a conversation abt fidelity, cheating, etc. and Danny said words to the effect of, "Don't do anything you wouldn't do if your spouse were with you (next to you)..." Even though Danny was being hypocritical, considering he cheated on Gretchen, I still remember him saying that and getting the feeling he really cared and wanted to teach others what he already knew. I remember the audience cheering and clapping when he said that. It was memorable to me.
