The Partridge Family's colorful bus

The Partridge Family was an American television sitcom about a widowed mother and her five children who embarked on a music career. The series was originally broadcast on ABC from 1970 to 1974. The show focused on the family performing in various venues and would often contrast suburban life with the adventures of a show-biz family "on the road." After the first season, the show focused more on the "at home" themes and less on their touring.
