There will be a mini-PARTRIDGE FAMILY reunion on DAVID CASSIDY’s new TV show – SHIRLEY JONES will be playing his television mum again on RUBY & THE ROCKITS.

It’ll be a real-life family reunion as well because Jones is Cassidy’s stepmother – and mum to his co-star and brother Patrick.

And there’s more family connections on the new U.S. show – Shaun Cassidy serves as executive producer and brother Ryan is the programme’s set decorator.

The new sitcom debuts this month (Sep09).
