Episode Notes

Watch closely as the Partridges have their back yard barbecue. This scene was actually filmed on the driveway next door to the "Bewitched" home.

This is the episode where Bonnie Kleinschmidt was first mentioned.

Up To Date was flying off store shelves as this episode aired. It spent 4 weeks at #3 on the Billboard charts, and remained on the chart for over a year! The Partridge Family Album and "I Think I Love You" were both still high on the charts as well. Not bad for a band criticized for being "manufactured pop!"
