I Don’t Know What I’m Up Against!! I Don’t Know What It’s All About!! MISS MATCH Creator Shopping New PARTRIDGE FAMILY!!

Published at:  Sep 25, 2008 1:13:32 AM CDT

I am – Hercules!!


TV writer Jeff Rake, the “Cashmere Mafia” vet who created “Miss Match,” has teamed with NBC chief Ben Silverman’s old production company Reveille (“Nashville Star,” “Coupling,” “Ugly Betty,” “American Gladiators”) and rights-holder Sony to create a new version of “The Partridge Family.”

The 1970s original, starring Shirley Jones, David Cassidy, Susan Dey and Danny Bonaduce, was about a MILF who forms a pop band with her kids. They had a grumpy manager named Reuben Kincaid.

The project is seeking a channel.

    by monkeybrains

    Danny will be be some kind of wise ass, selling crack on the corner, Keith some kind of Flava Flav hustler , Tracy a burnt out junkie, Mom a 2 bit alcoholic welfare whore, Susan being pimped out by Ruben and Chris will get killed at the end of the first season and replaced by some other punk and they won't even mention anything about the change.

    by deanbarry

    The sequel, prequel, remake idea has found it way onto television now. With 90210, Battlestar, Bionic Woman, Knight Rider...Will it end? There are more turkeys than success stories.

    if they do a Monkees one, it will be a "reality" show/sitcom thing like they tried to market The Osbourneswhat's next an Iraq Hogan's Heros, a new Remington Steele, Riptide, Simon and Simon?

    A product of its time

    by the starwolf

    No better, nor worse than the average at the time, but that's the key point: at the time. The Partridge Family could only have come out of the 60s or early 70s. Doing them now makes no sense. Oh, wait, this IS Hollywood we're talking about, so of course they're going to redo them now. Idiots.
