The Partridge Family
The Partridge Family was an American television sitcom (1970–1974) about a widowed mother and her five children who form a pop music group and tour in a painted school bus.
The show launched David Cassidy to teen idol status.
The name now evokes wholesome 1970s family entertainment: It's not exactly The Partridge Family around here.
