An explosion of stripes, pastels, and pure bubblegum pop music, The Partridge Family were more popular than The Brady Bunch when they were both on the air. It's easy to see why; though perhaps best known for launching David Cassidy as a pop idol, The Partridge Family merged infectious melodies with fresh writing and charming, lighthearted performances. In The Complete Third Season, the show is at its peak. The touring of a family band had largely been laid aside; the focus is on domestic life, though every episode features at least one musical number. Dating, school, and family squabbles form the bulk of the plots, but the topical issues of the 1970s crop up again and again: Some of the best episodes grapple with the battle of the sexes, permissive parenting, group therapy, and sex education (which receives a firm endorsement from this family show). Of course, there's also silliness--the family has to dress as chickens when they get hired for a commercial, an escaped convict holds them hostage in their own home--but the stories are consistently well-crafted. Furthermore, the show stands out for its willingness to puncture sentimentality. When Keith Partridge (Cassidy) runs for student body president and nobly asks the students to vote for his more qualified opponent, his younger brother and campaign manager Danny (Danny Bonaduce) disgustedly mutters, "I've molded a loser!" The show's bedrock appeal lies in Shirley Jones' wholesome foxiness, Cassidy's genuine pop charisma (as well as his willingness to be the butt of a joke), and Bonaduce's caustic preadolescent deadpan. But Susan Dey as oldest sister Laurie became a key player this season, demonstrating the charm and wit that would lead her to further stardom on L.A. Law (she also gets the most spectacular outfits--check out the red plaid jumpsuit she wears in the escaped convict episode!). Guest stars include such classic 1970s support players as Bert Convy, Mary Ann Mobley, and Nancy Walker; future sitcom stars like Gordon Jump (WKRP in Cincinnati) and Charlotte Rae (Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts of Life); and even future movie stars like Jodie Foster, who punches Danny in the eye when he tries to kiss her. The Partridge Family was a winning show, clever, cheerful, and actually funny. Regrettably, there are no audio commentaries or interviews with the cast. --Bret Fetzer

 The Partridge Family third season December 6, 2008
Like alot of fans of this show I've been waiting to see the third season of The Partridge Family and now it's on dvd!! I have not seen this season since it aired on tv in the 70's so it's been nice to see it again. I hope that season 4 will soon follow so that I can have the complete collection on dvd.

 The Partridge Family 3rd Season November 29, 2008
I enjoyed the 3rd Season so much & cannot wait for the 4th & final season (sorry to say) David was as brilliant as ever as Keith & Danny is a comical gem especially with Dave Madden as the long suffering Manager

Nostalgia Nice But David is one talented Singer November 23, 2008
I grew up watching the Partrige Family, but what is so
awesome is David is one very talented singer. I just
don't think he has been Marketed to the best of his
showmanship. His vocal abilities and acting deserves better
coverage. You're awesome David!
teenage renewal November 23, 2008
I was a teenager when this show came out and had a crush on David Cassidy and still enjoy watching the TV shows over and over again. I enjoy the music as it was simple, easy to understand.
