The 1970’s classic The Partridge Family is receiving a 2008 remake on NBC.
A fan of the original series, writer Jeff Rake says he is going to “turn the premise on its head.”
And just how exactly is he doing that?
“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. 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.”
That show is already on E! – it’s called Living Lohan.
