There is only one short scene on YouTube. Dumb but quite funny. (See link above and hopefully it works).
It seems to be from an entire fictional and jokey film made in which the cast of the Partridge Family were at odds with the cast of the Brady Bunch.
Anyone know about it? The real title? Who made the film? When was it broadcast?
I guess it was a made-for-TV film.

Furthermore, the ridiculous premise of this scene is that Florence Henderson
thinks that the cast of the Brady Bunch can act while the cast of the Partridge Family cannot, but Shirley Jones reminds Florence Henderson that she (Shirley Jones herself) is the one who has won an Oscar.

Strictly from this scene, I would say that the actors chosen to play Shirley Jones, Susan Dey, Suzannne Crough and Danny Bonaduce and Dave Madden were well chosen. The boy playing Brian Forster just does not cut it. The guy playing David Cassidy just does not cut it either.

The woman playing Florence Henderson and the girls playing Maureen McCormick and Eve Plumb seem to be good look-alikes. The boy playing Bobby Brady seems well chosen too.

This depicts a rivalry that never-happened as depicted, but I do think that Mike Lookinland would not have been a match for Danny Bonaduce, and either Chris Knight or Barry Williams should have been depicted as confronting Danny.
In real life Suzanne Crough (years after PF went off the air) reportedly said that Danny Bonaduce was very strong even as a 10 year old boy and when he literally fought with Jeremy Gelbwalks ( who used to pick fights with Danny) the directors and producers worried that Danny could really harm Jeremy and that is one reason why Jeremy was replaced.

Yeah, it's the TV movie Come On, Get Happy. Saw it years ago.

Really enjoyed that flick. It had a lot of heart and the behind the scenes stuff was interesting and revealing.
