Because it's so easy to get these two confused.

Beware, Osbournes. The Partridge Family, TV's first, if fictitious, family of rock, is coming back. The Partridge Family, the 1970s family sitcom that spawned the same-named chart-topping pop act, will be revived in a pair of planned series for VH1, the cable network confirmed Friday. The first show is to chronicle the casting of the new show, à la reality-TV's Making of the Band, which has offered inside-the-factory glimpses at fledgling pop and hip-hop outfits. The second new Partridge show will be like the old Partridge show, except updated. "Wow," said Brian Forster, who played Chris Partridge on the original 1970-74 series, upon learning of VH1's plans. "Maybe I'll be working again." Forster wasn't entirely joking. "I'm very interested if there's any role for me," he said. The former kid actor's first choice? "Reuben Kincaid. Sure, why not? I'm a 43-year-old bachelor." When Chris Partridge is ready to play middle age, it's clearly been a long time since the original series. Officially, it's been 33 years since ABC introduced the Partridge clan, comprised of single-mom Shirley (Shirley Jones) and her five children: teen-idol Keith (David Cassidy, Jones' real-life stepson); keyboardist Laurie (future L.A. Law litigator Susan Dey); wisecracking bass player Danny (Danny Bonaduce (news)); tambourine specialist Tracy (Suzanne Crough); and drummer boy Chris (Jeremy Gelbwaks for the first season, with Forster taking the sticks in seasons two through four). Comic Dave Madden played the Partridges' somewhat-swingin' single manager, Mr. Kincaid. A used 1957 Chevrolet appeared as the Partridges' psychedelic tour bus. Like the Monkees before them, the Partridges were a made-for-TV band with real-world impact on the music scene. Their hits, featuring Cassidy on lead vocals and backings by Jones, included "I Think I Love You" and "I Woke Up in Love This Morning." Specifics on the all-new Partridge series, including whether or not the bus gets resigned (or repainted), are still to be determined, the Hollywood Reporter said. About the only thing for sure is that the Partridge comeback, engineered by Sony's TV division, is being primed for a 2004 premiere. Jennifer Futch, of the Partridge Family Website, C'mon Get Happy! (www.cmongethappy.com), said she's both pleased and wary by the prospect of a Keith & Co. revival. "As in most cases, the Partridge Family was a success and is remembered fondly because of the unique combination of creative talents of the writers, cast, musicians, etc., at that time," Futch said in an email interview. "Most efforts to recapture that kind of chemistry are futile. Perhaps it can happen this time, but history indicates that it is unlikely." Still, Futch said she hopes the Partridges can succeed where, say, the Brady Brides failed. But the old show remains her priority. In her perfect world, those episodes would be issued on DVD. Forster, who raced cars after his prime-time run and today appears in local theater in Northern California, and signs autographs at "Hollywood has-been shows," as he calls them, doesn't envy the new wannabe Partridges having to go through a made-for-TV audition process. "That would be tough," he said. "The pressure's on anyway." According to Forster, the new scripted show will work if it's properly retrofitted for the modern world. One suggestion he has for the future Chris Partridge (and the kid's writers): "Just try to make it more of a character." And while the bus is literally a large part of Partridge lore, Forster said he could see that being updated, too. Maybe a Hummer? Said a fuel-conscious Forster: "Oh, no."

I won't read it due to it probably having left wing bias.

The HELL you say? You mean there won't be a 3 pack? Or a 4 pack if the 4th does get filmed?

Hobo Spider bite.

You forgot the whole Lynch bullshit. You would think they would be giving more pub to the people who brought her out. God I'm so tired of that.

Calamin(sp) lotion? Like what you get for Chicken Pox.

That was in Gammon's column today on ESPN.com.

Well Wells needs surgery too.

So you are basically posting fake news (or newz) in the WWE forum eh?

If you by "slightly" you mean "whacky" then you are correct because everything about Canada is whacky in one form or another.

I hate Rock's sharpshooter.

I'm just happy the Sonics are 3-0. Ronald Murray has been a nice suprise filling in for Ray Allen. Hope he can keep it up when Allen comes back so we can have 3 almost guaranteed 20pt a night guys with Lewis, Allen and him with a random good night from Barry, Radmonovik and other role players then the Sonics should at least be decent this season and compete for the 6-8 playoff spots.

Damn Dutch.

Anyone think that tonight on Velocity when they yelled "We're the BASHAM BROTHERS~!" they should have headbutted each other to put an escalamation point on that fact? It would go with the gimmick.

NOW is the time for That 80's Show. They were a year or two too early because just is it all coming back.

Off topic but a good article on feelings in the country about Roe vs. Wade done in January of this year. And OMG ITZ NOT FAUX NEWS~! And for the record I'd like to find the 11% who said it would be okay to terminate a 6+ month pregnacy and abort them with a glock.

There is an option to add music to the video. Check the help file.

And if you checked out Scorror.com everyday like you should... you would have seen this already posted yesterday. Stop being behind the times and go there now.

SEATTLE -- Bill Bavasi was hired Friday to replace Pat Gillick as general manager the Seattle Mariners. Bavasi, 45, is the former general manager of the California and Anaheim Angels. "This is a tremendous opportunity for me," he said. "The Mariners' franchise is one of the elite franchises in all of baseball. I am looking forward to getting to work immediately." During Bavasi's 16-year tenure with the Angels as farm director, assistant general manager and general manager, the team acquired and developed many of the players that helped it win the 2002 World Series, including Troy Percival, Troy Glaus, Darin Erstad, Tim Salmon, Garret Anderson and Francisco Rodriguez. Buzzie Bavasi, the father of the new Seattle GM, was the longtime general manager of the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers, and later became GM of the Angels and president of the San Diego Padres. Bill Bavasi worked for the Padres' operations department and grounds crew from 1974-78, and was with the Angels from 1980-99, serving as GM during his final six seasons. He spent the past two years as the Dodgers' director of player development. Seattle has won 93 games in each of the past two seasons but missed the playoffs both times, and Gillick, 66, quit Sept. 30, but emphasized he wasn't retiring. The Mariners made it to the AL championship series in 2000 and 2001, twice losing to the New York Yankees. "While we considered many very qualified individuals, Bill was our top pick and we believe he is the best person to lead the club," Mariners chairman Howard Lincoln said. Mariners vice president Benny Looper was considered strongly by Lincoln as Gillick's successor. Although the Mariners re-signed designated hitter Edgar Martinez this week, eight Seattle players became free agents, including center fielder Mike Cameron and reliever Shigetoshi Hasegawa Cameron won his second Gold Glove this season and Hasegawa, an All-Star for the first time, finished the year as the Mariners' closer. After the 2002 season, the Mariners let manager Lou Piniella go to Tampa Bay and Lincoln hired Bob Melvin to replace him. In addition to Bavasi's father, two Bavasi brothers have made their mark in baseball. Brother Peter was president of the Toronto Blue Jays and Cleveland Indians, and brother Bob was the longtime owner of the Class A Everett franchise of the Northwest League. Everett is 30 miles north of Seattle and is a Mariners franchise. Gillick, general manager for the past four seasons, quit Sept. 30.

Guys raping other guys in high school... girls going lez or bi at the drop of a tampon. It really is the new fad to be gay or engage in gay-like activities I guess. And by gay-like activities I mean sex acts involving a member of the same sex for all you PC motherfuckers out there.
