Colouring Book Theatre: The Partridge Family

[RSS]

Today's colouring book is courtesy of Sharry, who has an enviable collection!



Unlike probably most 70's kids, I'm not all that well versed with the Partridge Family, we didn't get UHF channels until much later and when we did I only really saw the characters in cartoon form (Through "Goober and the Ghost Chasers" and "Partridge Family 2200 AD")



It's rare to see a book with a photo cover, also what the heck is Tracy's problem? She doesn't look too happy to be there.

The art inside is pretty nice and looks to be the series pilot combined with the typical copying from promotional stills which is pretty much the standard in this medium.

The three heavy hitters of the series.

Aaaaand the Rest! It's freaky to see Danny Bonaduce as a kid, he creeps me out as an adult.

My friend growing up had the hots for Shirley Jones, I still tease him about and am doing so right now. Gonna print this out Brian and put it in your scrapbook?

The infamous Partridge Family Bus would challenge and break even the largest variety box of crayons.

"Let's all just sit here and dream children" The book itself is somewhat dry, but then again the show wasn't exactly action packed now was it?

Those shadowed heads will always remind me of MST 3K

I'm outraged there is not one shot of Canadian super talent Dave Madden aka Reuben Kincaid here. What an injustice!

Thanks Sharry! Tune in Next Week for more Coloring Book Theatre.

I can't believe you made it through this entry without a "C'mon Get Happy" or at least a "I think I love you" reference. You're too good my friend!

I guess my local channels never carried the Partrides much. I only have very vague recollections of the show. I know more about it from various TV retrospectives or "I Love the 70s" type shows than the actual series.

You're welcome, Brian. I do have pics of Reuben in this book, but it's really LONG, and I wanted to focus on the family. I can send you one, if you like!

I've also been priviledged to meet most of the members of this clan, (some more than once): Shirley, David Cassidy, Danny Bonaduce (who despite his outrageous public image is a very nice person), and Suzanne Crough, (Tracey). Growing up, I was (and still am) a MAJOR PF and David fan, and carried the bag that came w/ the "PF Shopping Bag" album like it was a security blanket at the ripe ole age of 5!
