As everyone knows, there are no new ideas in Hollywood. So, it's no surprise TV is looking to the past for future new shows.
Variety reports that
The Partridge Family is getting a "tongue-in-cheek, modern-day" remake. A former Cashmere Mafia writer is on board and insiders say the project will be getting a network deal soon.
Meanwhile,
E! Online has scoop from former
Melrose Place star Lisa Rinna that the soapy drama might follow in
90210's footsteps at the CW, though that network denies the rumor.

After you have spent as many hours watching TV as I have, you grow immune to the out of date idea that television rots your brain or that it's the opiate of the masses or any of the other nonsense that has been spouted throughout the years. However, even though I love television and make no excuses for that love, there are a few shows that I am almost ashamed to say that I love. Here are the top five shows that I can't get enough of.
1. Big Brother
I look forward to this show every summer. Ever since season two, when Dr. Will showed that it's possible to be the biggest prick in the house and still win, I am always amazed by BB.

It pleases me to no end when I see how many fellow TV lovers are ready and able to answer my trivia questions. Last week it only took "Tammy" twelve minutes to share with us Keith Partridge's middle name of Douglas.
As many of you may already know,
I interviewed Danny Bonaduce during my live show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. He shared many great
Partridge Family stories. My favorite would have to be how he got the job as Danny. Before he became Danny Partridge he was working with veteran TV director (and Dick Van Dyke's neighbor on
The Dick Van Dyke Show) Jerry Paris on a TV movie. They were way behind schedule, and Danny made a joke about how Jerry might be fired if they went over budget. Mr. Paris was not in the mood to be mocked by an eight year old boy so he grabbed Danny's script, ripped out the pages with his dialogue and shouted, "There, we're all caught up now, kid." As horrible as that sounds, Danny insists that Paris felt so bad about the incident that when he auditioned to be a Partridge, Paris, who was directing the pilot, made it up to Danny by casting him as the red-headed scamp we all came to love.
Now on to this week's question...

Like most people, I spend my days trying to figure out how to be more like Keith Partridge. I've tried growing my hair out, learning how to sing, and have even tried unsuccessfully to get adopted by Shirley Jones. As it turns out, I've been going about this the wrong way. All one needs to be just like Keith is to enjoy a bowl of Kellogg's Rice Krispies in the morning. At least, that's what the commercial I placed below seems to indicate.

When you think about it,
this is the perfectly logical next step for Bonaduce. Not just to host a game show, but to host a game show that will focus on contestant's knowledge of celebrities.
The name of the show will be
Starface and it will follow the revamped
Chain Reaction Tuesdays through Saturdays at 9:30 on GSN. It starts on August 1.

This poll is from
Stuff
Magazine, which I read for the
numerous pics of half naked or naked women posing on a bed or jumping
around the surf investigative journalism. The mag polled readers about which former child star they'd like to
punch in the face. The results:
Danny Bonaduce - 38%
Corey Feldman - 38%
Dustin Diamond
(Screech,
Saved By The Bell) - 15%
Ron Howard - 9%
OK, I can understand some of those, but
Opie? Opie?!

Let me start with a confession: I was a huge fan of The Partride Family when I was a kid. I had a
Partridge Family lunchbox, I had a massive crush on David Cassidy (and quite a few posters), and
Shirley Jones, as the hip family matriarch, along with the ever-sunny Florence Henderson as Carol Brady, were
my visions of maternal perfection.
I can't really blame Shirley Jones alone for destroying my happy childhood memories. No, I think a good deal of the
blame has to rest on the shoulders of Nicholaus Goosen, the director of
the film Grandma's Boy, and the producers behind the film, including Adam Sandler, who ought to know better: first, for making a film with two of
my least favorite actors - Rob Schneider and David Spade (in ONE film? Are you people insane?!?), and worse, for
including in said film a scene with Shirley Jones having a sex romp with a 24-year-old. Do we really need to see that?
I think not.
