Tournament Round One: Family Affair (1966) vs. The Partridge Family - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

icecream · 10-21-2021, 11:30 PM

The original Family Affair aired five seasons on CBS from 1966-1971. Bill Davis was a lifelong bachelor who was not used to having kids around. But when his nieces and nephew became orphans, he reluctantly took them in and became a good surrogate father. Starring Brian Keith as Uncle Bill, Kathy Garver as Cissy, Anissa Jones and Johnnie Whitaker as twins Buffy and Jody, and Sebastian Cabot as the butler Mr. French.

The Partridge Family was not a real music family, but was based on the Cowsills. Only Shirley Jones and David Cassidy did their own singing. Shirley played single mother of five Shirley Partridge. David played the oldest Keith, and Susan Dey played the oldest girl Laurie. Also starring Danny Bonaduce as Danny, Suzanne Crough as Tracy, Jeremy Gelbwaks and Brian Forster as Chris, and Dave Madden as the Partridges' manager Reuben Kincaid. The Partridge Family aired four seasons on ABC from 1970-1974.

8 days seems a bit long for matches, so I am taking that number down to 6 days.

Both were interesting classics including 1 adult with group of children. Overall, The Partridge Family gets my vote
