NBC has picked up an updated version of The Partridge Family.

A fan of the 1970s series, (Jeff) Rake (writer/producer on Bones, Boston Legal and The Practice), plans to "turn the premise on its head."

"In the original, the kids actually recruited their mom to front the band, which I can't see happening in any family on this planet," he said. "The new version will reflect what seems to me to be the more realistic family band scenario these days: a struggling, sort of well-meaning mom pimping her kids in order to create a wholesome-slash-sexy cash cow."
