Brady/Partridge Collaborations


There is at least one thread on this board about "The Partridge Family". I was thinking of collaborations with Brady and Partridge cast members. I can think of three. The late Suzanne Crough had a very small part in "Dawn: Portrait Of A Teenage Runaway" starring Eve Plumb. Plumb co-starred with Susan Dey in the 1978 television movie "Little Women". And Danny Bonaduce boxed Barry Williams on the 2002 Fox reality show "Celebrity Boxing". Are there any more?

Barry Williams and Danny Bonaduce starred in the hit tv movie "Bigfoot" back in 2012.

Brian Forster (Chris #2) guest starred on "The Brady Bunch" - the "Eenie, Meenie, Mommy Daddy" episode.

While not a true collaboration, there was a hilarious skit on Saturday Night Live in the 90s when Susan Dey hosted the show. Laurie and the Partridges are practicing songs in the garage when Jan Brady comes over for a visit. Eventually, all the Brady kids show up and there's a 'sing off' contest between the Bradys vs the Partridges.

Some of the characters / SNL cast:

Laurie P - Susan Dey
Jan B - Melanie Hutsell (a recurring character she played to the hilt)
Keith P - Dana Carvey
Cindy B - Victoria Jackson
Danny P - Mike Myers
Greg B - Kevin Nealon
Shirley P - Julia Sweeney
Rueben K - Chris Farley









Al - Alicia
An - Andrew
Jo - Joseph
Be - Benjamin

With a cameo by Chris Rock who the refer to as Mushmouth from Fat Albert even though he is actually Dumb Donald

Would love to see that one. Almost impossible to find SNL stuff on youtube, unfortunately.
Speaking of satires, there is an animation on youtube featuring the Bradys and Partridges in a bit of road rage.

In "CHiPs" season 2, episode 2, 'Family Crisis,' Chris Knight and Danny Bonaduce are friends who "borrow" cars to joyride in them and Chris is also officer Jon Baker's nephew.

I found another one. Elaine Giftos played Reuben Kincaid's flight attendant girlfriend Bonnie Kleinschmidt. Giftos co-starred with Robert Reed in the 1975 made for TV movie "The Secret Night Caller".

reply

I nearly commented about Elaine same subject,also she appeared on Three's Company few times,bet she has many credits.
Another question would be who's appeared on both shows,but we'd be here all season.

Chris Beaumont for starters.

reply

Barry Williams also appeared on "Three's Company". In the 1982 "Up in the Air" episode he played David Winthrop, a wealthy young man Janet was interested in.

I always thought it would have been great had the two families met. I ca see Marcia and Keith flirting and Greg putting the moves on Laurie. Carol and Shirley had similar hairstyles, so could say they knew each other from the beauty shop.

reply

I think Florence Henderson and Shirley Jones were friends in real life.

Daivd Cassidy's brother Shaun performed two songs for the soundtrack of "Dawn: Portrait Of A Teenage Runaway" starring Even Plumb.
