Hey, Watch It

With Today reuniting some of TV’s favorite families, viewers seem to want to play “Who’s Missing?” this week.

Monday, it was Adam Rich and Susan Richardson not in the Eight is Enough reunion. On Tuesday’s show, with the family in question The Partridge Family, the game’s target changed to Susan Dey.

The reunion included four of the five Partridge kids: David Cassidy (David), Danny Bonaduce (Danny), Brian Forster (Chris) and Suzanne Crough (Tracy).

But Dey, who arguably had the most success as an actor after the show among the kids, was nowhere to be seen. After her run as Grace on L.A. Law, Dey has apparently kept an extremely low profile, and Bonaduce does end up letting her have it in his own inimitable way during the segment.

Shirley Jones, the Partridge mom — who had a tremendous career prior to the show in musical films — was unable to make it due to her tour with symphony orchestras. Meanwhile, Dave Madden, who played agent Ruben Kincaid, doesn’t travel, so he wasn’t there either.

(Technically, neither was the “first Chris”, Jeremy Gelbwaks. Gelbwaks got out of the business of acting completely after the show’s first season, replaced on the show by Forster. According to Wikipedia, Gelbwaks is currently a management consultant.)

According to Zap2It, one show not about to have a reunion is The Brady Bunch. A feud between that show’s Marcia and Jan — Maureen McCormick and Eve Plumb — forced a quick cancellation of a planned reunion on a “morning show”, according to the article. (We’re assuming, since the show tried to pull together families all week, that the show is Today.)

Wednesday, it’s 227. Who do you think won’t show?
