All in all, I don't know if they had a lot of great material. The only Partridge Family record I have is a 45 of "I Woke up in Love This Morning," which is a very nice song. I'm not crazy about their big hit "I Think I Love You," but looking at track listings on compilation albums, I'm remembering liking songs such as "Doesn't Somebody Want to Be Wanted" and "Summer Days."
Please post thoughts, plus fab facts, pics, etc.

I remember the first PF album (the red cover) being better-than-you'd-expect. . .

Kismet. It was Piet Mondrian's birthday yesterday, so I showed my class some of his art off YouTube this morning (a day late). Later, as part of a media assignment where they compare sitcoms across eras, we watched an episode of The Partidge Family (season one, episode eight, where "I Think I Love You" debuts). That's when I realized that Mondrian designed the family bus.

We watched episode #16 today, "My Son, the Feminist." You've got to see this! (If you're a relatively well-adjusted adult, you can eliminate that exclamation mark.) Keith is dating a girl who belongs to P.O.W., a militant feminist group, and he volunteers the band to play at one of their rallies. Just before the show, they have an argument because the girl objects to some of the song titles she sees on the playlist--songs about love just serve the man's interest. Can't play them, she tells Keith. He strikes back:
"Look, Tina--you're working for a cause, and that's great. But nobody--nobody--censors our material."
A couple of my girls spotted me laughing heartily at the back of the room, looking puzzled as to why.

Honest to god, we were watching an episode today for media--before I read about this.

saw him fairly recently at an outdoor freebie in the park and he was refreshingly honest in his interaction with the audience. he seemed like a nice but messed up guy.

Was very much on team David in 1972, aged 7 (my older sister was on team Donny I think). He was so beautiful. Later I caught up with the first three Bell Records LPs; all are solid. I read somewhere that he was also just about the only person who gave a damn about the song content of the last three or four PF albums.
RIP
