ABC to Reboot 'The Partridge Family'.....Well Sort Of..... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

From the 1970s, the decade that gave us the Partridge Family and the Osmonds, come The Lockharts. ABC has bought The Lockharts, a musical hour drama from writers Michael Gans & Richard Register (Make It Or Break It), Castle executive producer Laurie Zaks and ABC Studios. Set primarily in the cultural hurricane of the late 1970s, the project centers on the Lockharts, a musically gifted family that lands its own variety show on a national network. They are billed as the perfect All American Family but, like all families, they are far from perfect. The series is framed by a slowly evolving present-day mystery involving the scandalous disappearance of the family’s matriarch.

They had a show focused on auditions for the cast. Then there was supposed to be the "re-boot" show. Apparently, the casting audition show bombed, so they whole project was dropped.
