Partridge Family: TV Guide News

A widow and her five children became a chart-topping singing group in this fan favorite, loosely based on the Cowsills, a popular '60s band. The Partridges were something of a music phenomenon in the early 1970s, with several of their songs becoming hits even though only two of the performers, Shirley Jones and her real-life stepson David Cassidy, actually did their own singing. Cassidy became a teen idol and top-selling recording star in his own right.

The Partridge Family to Sing Again on NBC | Today's News: Our Take | 10/1/2008
Come on, get happy! The Partridge Family is heading back to TV.A month after revealing its upcoming '80s-fied version of The Wonder Years, NBC is now remaking the ABC singing clan classic, The Hollywood Reporter reports.Shot single-camera, the series will be a contemporary take on the '70s hit and will be written by Jeff Rake, who's looking to "turn the premise on its head.""In the original, the kids actually recruited their mom to front the band, which I can't see happening in any family on this planet," he said. "The new version will reflect what seems to me to be the more realistic family band scenario these days: a struggling, sort of well-meaning mom pimping her kids in order to create a wholesome-slash-sexy cash cow."That's all good and fun, but the bigger question is: Will Danny Bonaduce return? — Joyce Eng read more 1 Comment

Shirley Jones Is Batty, I Tell Ya! | Today's News: Our Take | 1/27/2006
In Hallmark Channel's Hidden Places (premiering Saturday at 9pm/ET), Sydney Penny (All My Children, The Thorn Birds) plays Eliza, a Depression-era farmer's widow who, when times get very bleak, is offered assistance by a handsome stranger named Gabe (Jason Gedrick). Can she trust this angelic drifter? Helping usher things along is Eliza's Aunt Batty, played with a flourish by Academy Award-winner Shirley Jones. TVGuide.com welcomed the chance to talk with the woman best know as Oklahoma's Miss Laurey — even at the risk of spontaneous warbling.

I used to have a huge crush ... | Today's News: Our Take | 12/20/2005

Question: I used to have a huge crush on Michael Ontkean, when he was on The Rookies (way before he was on Twin Peaks). What was his claim to fame before that? And before you even ask: Yes, I still have a crush on him.

Answer: You and half the girls in my second-grade class, Melissa. (Me, I had a thing for Kate Jackson, but no self-respecting boy of that age would've admitted girls were anything but really gross back then.)

Ontkean, who, as you say, would go on to play Sheriff Harry S. Truman on Twin Peaks in 1990, was an actor and, of all things, a hockey player in his earlier years.

Before playing the role of Officer Willie Gillis on ABC's Rookies from 1972 to 1974 (his character was replaced by Bruce Fairbairn's Officer Chr read more
