Most excellent!
- CreatorBernard SladeStarsShirley JonesDavid CassidySusan DeyThe humorous adventures of a family of pop musicians.We're talking the original 1st season opener with "When We're Singing" here; not that "C'mon Get Happy" crud! The original is the best because it explains why Shirley and the kids formed their musical group, and it sounds like The Cowsills (the real-life pop family group, on which this show is very loosely based).
