If the original series weren't too cutesy and cartoony enough, Hanna-Barbera had to bring the singing family to the future, in animation form. The Partridges were based on the Cowsills; why weren't both families brought to the future? The animation here is poorly done (but then that's how it was in the OPEC-affected 70s)and the stories are not any better. Not a great way to cash in on the success of the band.
