The Partridge Family Getting Happy With NBC

The Partridge Family has found a new network home at NBC says The Hollywood Reporter. The network has picked up a contemporary single-camera take on the classic ABC sitcom to be written by Jeff Rake. A fan of the 1970s series, Rake plans to turn the premise on its head. “In the original, the kids actually recruited their mom to front the band, which I can’t see happening in any family on this planet,” he said. “The new version will reflect what seems to me to be the more realistic family band scenario these days: a struggling, sort of well-meaning mom pimping her kids in order to create a wholesome-slash-sexy cash cow.”
