I think this TV series (if only 4 years in the running) is quite underrated. This was the show that brought us the pop-culture phenomenon known as David Cassidy. I don't know if there are any accounts anywhere of how many millions of young girls who went to bed either clutching the David Cassidy doll or drifting off with the Sandman beneath their life-sized poster of David Cassidy taped firmly on the ceiling, but there WERE millions.
But more than that, there is something wholesome beneath the surface, which goes unnoticed at first look; something that crept into the fans, whether they noticed, or not. That "something wholesome" is family values. The father is not in the picture, as was the case for many (as today), and "Reuben" assumes the position, sort of, as the manager of their group. But the family holds itself together, regardless.
Somehow, this show rates .4 less than the Brady Bunch! I don't know HOW that happened, but this was a vastly superior show. It's horribly underrated, and deserves better.
