Dave Madden

Dave Madden plays Reuben Kincaid on The Partridge Family, the manager sweating a Mondrian bus while Shirley Jones drives and David Cassidy becomes a teen-idol industry with actual chart hits. Family-band sitcom that sold records, lunchboxes, and clean California longing. Madden is the adult in the merch — a Kincaid who photographs as a straight man and plays as the booking.

Keep The Partridge Family on the ABC shelf under 1970–1974. Dave Madden’s Reuben Kincaid managed The Partridge Family like a headache in a suit — Shirley Jones driving the Mondrian bus, David Cassidy becoming a teen-idol industry, a family-band sitcom that sold records and lunchboxes. What Dave Madden brings is Reuben Kincaid as a weekly temperature the reruns cannot sand off.

Do not hunt a recap of Dave Madden. File s01e01 as the door. What? And Get Out of Show Business? opens Shirley Jones driving the Mondrian bus. Cassidy already a teen-idol industry with chart hits; family-band sitcom as a music-machine grin. s01e03 is the turn. Whatever Happened to the Old Songs? is the catalog arguing with itself. Clean California longing: the bus still the set, the records still the real merchandising, the fame-spiral still off-camera. The Partridge Family still argues at s03e01. This Male Chauvinist Piggy Went to Market is a season-open in protest-button clothes. Family-band sitcom noticing the decade; lunchboxes still shipping, Cassidy still the industry inside the living room.

Music-machine grin up front; Reuben is the invoice. On TV Flash Madden is 1970s pop-sitcom craft: the manager who made the band look like a job, still the reason the bus had someone counting the dates. Dave Madden stays Reuben Kincaid in The Partridge Family drawer — ABC, 1970–1974 — and the temperature holds.
