Now for the million dollar question. What was The Partridge Family based on?

And I think you're right about the personality thing.

I always sort of assumed that The Partridge Family was based on The Von Trapp family and Sound of Music stuff, but I have no idea if that's true.

I don't care what the right answer is, you get points for mentioning The Sound of Music.

Huzzah, points!!!

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Nope!

It was based on The Cowsills, sort of The Hansens of their time. It was a whole bunch of singing siblings (six of them!) along with their mom.

I was briefly a fan (I was ten, so don't hate me) and I owned a bunch of their albums. Amazingly Susan Cowsill grew up to become a member of The Continental Drifters, a really fine band.

I admire your stuff knowing mind.

It's times like this that I kinda wish I had appropriate icons to go with each comment. Makes the one liners seem more worthwhile.

It's not knowing stuff so much as one day being at a really good music site and suddenly having a need to know whether those wholesome avatars of wholesomeness, The Cowsills, became drug abusing serial murderers.

Bahahaha. I admire your inquisitive mind.

Though it is a stuff-knowing mind as well ;o)
