The Partridge Family are Back

Well........... not really. This is a way to bring back the Cassidy family. Not only David, but we get his Dad and David's half Brother Patrick of Smallville fame.

Patrick left the band to raise a family.

The three are now to be seen on a family comedy called “Ruby & the Rockits” that premieres Tuesday on ABC Family.

David really hasn't worked much since the days of the Partridge Family and should do well in this new comedy.

“Ruby & the Rockits” is a decent family comedy whose biggest appeal is the stars of the show:

“Ruby & the Rockits” stars David Cassidy (“The Partridge Family”) as a well-past-his-prime rock star, David Gallagher, whose daughter, Ruby (Alexa Vega, “Spy Kids”) appears one day out of the blue. The irresponsible father seeks help from his brother Patrick (David Cassidy’s half-brother Patrick Cassidy, “Smallville”), who dropped out of the band to raise a family.

Seeing an opportunity to right some of the wrongs of her family (fighting amongst siblings, mostly), wife Audie (Katie Amanda Keane, “Eli Stone”) is happy to have Ruby join the clan, who live in a house reminscent of many ’80s staples such as “Full House” and “Family Matters.”
