Common and get happy and relive the magic of this iconic classic 70s sitcom that follows the lives of a widowed mother and her five children after they make a hit record. 

In the pilot episode, the kids – Keith (David Cassidy), Laurie (Susan Dey), Danny (Danny Bonaduce), Chris (Jeremy Gelbwaks - later played by Brian Forster) and Tracy (Suzanne Crough) – get their mother Shirley (Shirley Jones) to help them out by singing with them as they record a pop song in their garage.  Little does she know that the efforts of her precocious 10-year-old son Danny (along with sister Tracy in tow) takes the recording and markets it to manager Reuben Kincaid (Dave Madden), who helps make the song a Top 40 hit, launching their musical career and changing their lives forever.

In the final season 4-year-old actor/singer Ricky Segall joined the cast as their next door neighbor Ricky Stevens.  Ricky would entertain the Partridges with his songs.

Notable guest stars include Farrah Fawcett, Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd, Richard Pryor, Mark Hamill, Jodie Foster, Bobby Sherman, Louis Gossett, Jr., Rob Reiner, Meredith Baxter, Charlotte Rae, Nancy Walker, Michael Ontkean, Ray Bolger, Margaret Hamilton, Arte Johnson, Harry Morgan, and Jackie Coogan.

Also included with this set is a bonus disc with the 1999 ABC TV movie "Come On Get Happy: The Partridge Family Story.

Looking for more Partridge Family fun? Be sure to check out these additional titles available from Rewatch Classic TV:

• Partridge Family 2200 A.D. - the 1974 CBS spin-off animated series

• This Is Your Life: Shirley Jones (includes the Partridge Family cast)
  

• The 1977 special Thanksgiving Reunion with The Partridge Family and My Three Sons.

• Also: Did you know that an episode from the series (included in The Partridge Family set) was used as a pilot for the short-lived Bobby Sherman show Getting Together? A separate DVD is available with two hard-to-find episodes from Getting Together, along with the Partridge Family episode.

• SPECIAL NOTE: An unaired pilot, filmed in December 1969, differed from the pilot broadcast in 1970.  In this unseen pilot, Shirley's name is "Connie" and she has a boyfriend played by Jones' real-life husband at the time, Jack Cassidy, father of David Cassidy.
