Oh WEIRD!!

So I was totally kidding when I posted the picture of the Partridge Family earlier today but check out the following article. According to MSNBC, NBC picked up a remake of the original show:

"The Partridge Family" is headed for a return to the small screen. NBC has picked up a contemporary single-camera take on the classic ABC sitcom.

The show's writer, Jeff Rake, is a fan of the 1970s series who plans to "turn the premise on its head."

"In the original, the kids actually recruited their mom to front the band, which I can't see happening in any family on this planet," he said.

"The new version will reflect what seems to me to be the more realistic family band scenario these days: a struggling, sort of well-meaning mom pimping her kids in order to create a wholesome-slash-sexy cash cow."

It's just really weird for this to happen. Maybe I should think about Arrested Development. Think that will bring it back on the air? :)
