15 Things Every Fan of ‘The Partridge Family’ Should Know

13. There were a plenty of famous guest stars

Guest stars on the show included people who were famous as well as people who would go on to become very famous. Farrah Fawcett, Jodie Foster, Rob Reiner, Mark Hamill, Dick Clark, Richard Pryor, and Ray Bolger were a few of them.

14. The bus is no longer

You’d think the Mondrian-styled bus that was used on the show would be in a museum somewhere, but sadly not. After the show ended, it lived for years behind Lucy’s Tacos on Martin Luther King Blvd, right by USC. It got pretty trashed though and eventually ended up at the dump.

15. There was a different unaired version of the pilot

There was a different version of the pilot episode shot that was not aired. In it, the family lives in Ohio as opposed to California, and the deceased father is talked about and established as a bit of a drinker. On the real show, Mr. Partridge’s death was never discussed, nor was his first name ever revealed.
