America’s 1st Family of Song Return
September 1, 2004 "The
Partridge Family" is back so come on, get happy!
But don’t think the ‘70s classic is making a complete
renovation alone -- original "Partridge" Danny
Bonaduce is back to help. "Extra" checked
out the Los Angeles casting call of the new VH-1 show
to find out just what we can look forward to.
"I like the idea, but I don't really like the idea
of a new Danny," Bonaduce admitted. "It really
upsets me. I'm Danny. Say I see kids auditioning for
Keith, I say, ‘No, no, no, yes.’ If I see five kids
auditioning for Danny I say, ‘No, no, no, no and no.’"
Judging is definitely going to be tough considering
producers have actually turned the auditions into a
reality show and America will choose who stars in the
sitcom. Executive producer Jeff Margolis revealed that
America will get to see exactly how the contestants
stack up against the original cast thanks to technology
that will digitally insert them into original episodes.
"Our contestant will be acting against the real
characters from a real scene from a real episode,"
Margolis explained.
It may sound complicated, but ultimately everybody agrees
it will come down to talent. See if the new "Partridges"
can make you get happy when they hit VH-1 this fall.
