''Partridge Family 2200 A.D.'' (also known as ''The Partridge Family in Outer Space'') is a 30-minute Saturday morning animated series based on the 1970–1974 ABC sitcom ''The Partridge Family'' co-produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and Columbia Pictures Television and broadcast on CBS from September 7, 1974 to March 8, 1975. ==Production== While in pre-production, Hanna-Barbera originally proposed an updated version of ''The Jetsons'', in which Elroy would be a teenager and Judy would have a steady job as an ace reporter. (See, for instance, ''The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show'', which was a similarly updated version of ''The Flintstones''). CBS, under the leadership of Fred Silverman, discarded the idea and decided to make an animated version of ''The Partridge Family'' instead. The Partridge Family had already been recurring characters on a previous Hanna-Barbera production, ''Goober and the Ghost Chasers''. This series saw the family propelled 225 years into the future, with no explanation as to why or how. The series featured new characters Veenie (Keith's Venusian friend) and Marion (Laurie's Martian friend). Danny had a pet robot dog named Orbit. The group's matriarch was now Connie Partridge (the name originally used for the live-action series' 1969 pilot) and voiced by Joan Gerber. (During a February 2, 2008 New York radio interview with Mark Simone on WABC's ''Saturday Night Oldies'' show, Shirley Jones, who played mother Shirley Partridge on the live-action series, apparently was never even told of the show's existence and had no recollection of any animated version of the series ever being produced.) In addition to Jones's absence, David Cassidy (Keith Partridge) and Dave Madden (manager Reuben Kincaid) did not voice their animated counterparts; both parts were recast. Susan Dey provided Laurie's voice for only two episodes before she was replaced by former ''Mouseketeer'' Sherry Alberoni. Danny Bonaduce, Suzanne Crough and Brian Forster voiced their respective characters from the live action series. Sixteen half-hour episodes were produced for ''Partridge Family 2200 A.D.'', which lasted half a season on CBS Saturday morning (September 7, 1974 – March 8, 1975). In 1977–78, it was re-titled ''The Partridge Family in Outer Space'' when episodes were serialized on the syndicated weekday series ''Fred Flintstone and Friends''. Like many animated series created by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, the show contained an inferior laugh track created by the studio. In October 2005, two restored episodes of ''Partridge Family 2200 A.D.'', "My Son, The Spaceball Star" and "Car Trouble", were included as bonuses on ''The Partridge Family: The Complete First Season'' DVD set. Due to its ties to ''The Partridge Family'', ''Partridge Family 2200 A.D.'' is one of only two Hanna-Barbera produced series since H-B's 1967 sale to Taft Broadcasting that are owned outright by Sony Pictures Television (whose predecessor, Screen Gems, produced the live-action show); ''Jeannie'' (an animated spin-off of ''I Dream of Jeannie'') is the other (the copyrights to both animated series are currently held by SPT). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Partridge Family 2200 A.D.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
