By the second season (1971-72) of its four-year run, America's favorite rock 'n' roll television family found its groove, with well-honed comedic timing and familial chemistry that helped secure The Partridge Family as one of the brightest sitcoms of the decade. This three-disk set includes all 24 episodes where most of the action remains close to home; Keith's role expands (as David Cassidy's real life stardom as teen idol crystallized); and the stories exploit the acerbic banter between Danny (Danny Bonaduce) and Reuben Kincaid (Dave Madden). By year two, Simone, the family dog, has come and gone, the theme song has changed to the familiar "Come On Get Happy," and Brian Forster replaces Jeremy Gelbwaks as Chris. Always cool and self-assured, Shirley (Shirley Jones) gives college life (and romance) a try; Chris and Tracy (Suzanne Crough) run away after their mom helps them pack; Laurie (Susan Dey) accidentally hands over her diary to the school newspaper editor; and Keith has a crush on "Dora, Dora, Dora" (season opener) and discovers that love is not so much blind as it is tone deaf. Genuine comedy reigns during episodes such as "Whatever Happened to Moby Dick?" when Danny decides to incorporate a whale into their musical act; or "Fellini, Bergman, and Partridge," where Keith produces a home movie (with Reuben making his "screen debut" in gossamer wings) and Danny tries to turn it into a money-making scheme. Especially heartwarming is the Christmas episode, "Santa, Don't Bring Your Guns to Town," with a memorable stint by guest Dean Jagger. Other guest appearances of the season include Rob Reiner, Howard Cosell, Meredith Baxter, Rosemary DeCamp and Ray Bolger. Surprisingly durable, the show's groovy songs and likeable cast have great appeal making this nostalgic dose of pure pop well worth the investment. The lack of bonus material is disappointing—audio commentaries, cast interviews, or outtakes should be de rigueur—but fans should be forgiving because the essential remains: solid family entertainment of a bygone era, still brimming with good vibes.

I purchased this DVD figuring my daughters would enjoy it as much as my wife and I did when it originally aired. This program is fun, easy viewing and listening. We tend to think of the early 70's as the "good old days" but we forget that like today we had military conflicts, nuclear threats, and perpetual government political fighting. Nothing has changed but our age and angle of perspective. So, if the world is basically the same, why do today's television comedies depend on base sexual inuendo and insults to get laughs? It's sad. We were not a naïve society in the 70's. Life was just as challenging then as today. We simply had the class to create polite and clean comedy. What a concept! The Partridge Family is fun to watch and has life lessons thrown in that we can all appreciate. Hang Ten and enjoy!

During PFs 2nd season there was a PF spin-off series called "GETTING TOGETHER" with Bobby Sherman. I hope this is put out on DVD someday. Anybody got "GETTING TOGETHER" on DVD-R? If so, please leave a comment. I'd like to get them, as well as the unaired 1969 PF pilot. Too bad they didn't include "GETTING TOGETHER" on this set, as it WAS a part of PF.

Throughly enoyed seeing all the Partdiges again - a really fine quality show, unlike the garbage that's on TV today. It's nice to see something innocent, without sexual innuendos and violence every 5 seconds. I have the entire series and would definitely recommend it.

I have three seasons of the Partridge Family, and it's great to relive the 70's and the best (as far as I'm concerned) TV family of all time. Was such a fan of the show, and seeing them all over again makes me know why I loved the show in the first place. Want a comic relief from every day shows, this DVD is a must to get. You won't be sorry you do.
