Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Danza: Shirley Jones as Shirley Partridge, and Danny Bonaduce as Danny Partridge.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Arthur Carlson plays the role of "Man" in the pilot episode.
    • The host of Tattletales wants the Partridges to record a song with whales.
    • Sgt Shultz wants to prove he knows something by making predictions for the Partridge clan.
    • Col. Potter is holding the family hostage.
    • Mel Sharples is a debt collector.

  • The Other Darrin: Jeremy Gelbwaks was replaced by Brian Forster as Chris.
