Shirley was originally named Connie, and she had a boyfriend played by Jack Cassidy. The pilot was filmed in December of 1969, but when the first episode aired, a few things had changed. Danny Bonaduce is the ten-year-old Danny who acts 45 and plays bass guitar Jeremy Gelbwaks is Chris the drummer, while Suzanne Crough is the tambourine-playing Tracy, the youngest member of the family. Susan Dey, a model, age 17, was hired as Laurie Partridge, keyboards. David Cassidy, Jones’ step son, was hired as lead singer Keith Partridge. The Cowsill kids were offered the role of her children, but they refused to do the show without their mother. Shirley Jones was signed to be the star of The Partridge Family. The concept was loosely based on The Cowsills, a family band who grew up in Rhode Island and toured with their mother. Slade wrote for Bewitched, was a script supervisor for The Courtship of Eddie’s Father, and created several other shows including The Flying Nun, Bridget Loves Bernie, and Love on a Rooftop. The Partridge Family was created by Bernard Slade. Today we meet the cast of The Partridge Family.

James starred in a couple of movies, but they weren’t anything memorable.
Sadly, Walker and Schuck would have been better off staying because both their shows lasted only 13 episodes. Schuck left to star in the sitcom, Holmes and Yo-Yo, and Walker left for her own sitcom, The Nancy Walker Show.
