1974: ABC Presents the Final Episode of 'The Partridge Family'
March 23, 2021  | By David Bianculli  | 174 comments
 
On this day in 1974, The Partridge Family's four-season run came to an end.

It's hard to imagine a seventies family worse than The Brady Bunch, but this was it. Yet like Gilligan's Island in the sixties, its unwavering awfulness somehow made it popular with some, and unforgettable to the rest, with a theme song to match. Shirley Jones, David Cassidy, Danny Bonaduce and Susan Dey played the most prominent members of a rock 'n' roll family act, although only Jones and Cassidy sang, and the rest of them made the Monkees look like Mozarts.

The idea of sending a squad in a ‘copter and getting in and out hours before the bombing doesn’t seem to be an option even though there are helicopters all over the place, never seeming to be doing anything worthwhile.
