Let’s enjoy a day-after-Thanksgiving repeat for Funshine Friday. (I’m too full to get up off the couch).

Hey, it's kinda sorta The Partridge Family...in space! ('Partridge Family 2200 A.D.', 1974)

Hanna-Barbera’s Partridge Family 2200 A.D. originally ran in the fall of 1974. 16 episodes were produced, airing on CBS. This animated, futuristic take on the Partridges generally focused on Danny Partridge and his robot dog, Orbit. Most episodes followed Danny as he created problems that needed correcting while a loud laugh track insured us that the hijinks going on were funny.

Let's go in for a closer look. Hmmm, it's the Partridges all right. 225 years later and poor Chris and Danny never got to grow up.

Danny Bonaduce played himself and Brian Forster and Suzanne Crough voiced Chris and Tracy, but that was about it for the original cast. Susan Dey only voiced herself in the first two episodes and Shirley Jones, Dave Madden and David Cassidy were not involved. Here’s the cartoon Partridge Family 2200 A.D. band singing ‘”Gypsy Girl.” Have a happy Funshine Friday!
