This sitcom anthology introduces viewers to the wacky world of the Partridge Family, the best-loved band of 1970s television. Widowed mom Shirley (Shirley Jones) agrees to quit her bank job and join her five musical kids in the show pilot "What? And Get Out of Show Business?" The band's optimistic harmony and catchy, bubble-gum spirit is introduced to Hollywood (and television viewers around the world) by none other than Johnny Cash. Although a bit rough around the edges, this first episode introduces teen idol Keith (David Cassidy), socially conscious Laurie (Susan Dey), and their manipulative preteen brother Danny (Danny Bonaduce), the capitalist mastermind who brings their garage recordings to reluctant record executive Reuben Kincaid (Dave Madden). Cute kids Chris (Jeremy Gelbwaks) and Tracy (Suzanne Crough) round out the history-making ensemble. (official distributor synopsis)
