How amazing that all those years they apparently had never interacted or spoken directly to each other before, but had only admired each other's endeavors from afar. This is one of the most endearing discussions I've ever seen. So glad I stumbled upon it. Love the Cowsills music & loved the Patridge Family as a kid. Never made the connection.

I was 10 when "The Partridge Family" premiered, and I started watching it because it was based on the Cowsills. And sadly, as the show took off, the Cowsills started to fade away from the charts. I loved them both, even though one was manufactured and the other The Real Deal.

From what I have learned just in the last two days is unlike the Partridge Family the Cowsills also had a Dad. He acted as their manager. He was mostly rude and demanding. One video I watched said the Cowsills were going to be booked on the Ed Sullivan Show multiple times. However, the Cowsill's dad decided to pick a fight with Ed Sullivan's son-in-law who was helping Ed run his TV show. That cut the Cowsills down to just 2 appearances ever.

I dont know if it still exists but there was a place in Hollywood Ca called the Preview House where everyday people would gather and watch pilot shows and then the audience would vote on whether or not we liked the pilot. I was fortunate to be in the audience when they screened the pilot for the Partridge Family. I liked the show very much as well as the majority of the audience. The show ended up on television and was very successful. I like to feel that I was personally responsible in part for the show getting on the air. A great memory that I've never forgotten. I'm now 68 years old and its stuck with me all of these decades.

Of course, my mom knew who she was when the series premiered, but us kids, not so much, so my mom would talk about all of the great films Shirley had been in. The one film I'll never forget her always talking about was "Elmer Gantry," and when it appeared on the "late night movie of the week" lineup one time, she let us stay up late to watch it. So, I'll always remember Shirley for that particular film as well as her role as matriarch of the Partridge Family and, all through the 1970's, she did TV as well as print ads for the classic Sunbeam Mixmaster stand mixer, so I'll always remember her for that, too, because my mom always had a Sunbeam stand mixer of her own; they'd wear out after so many years, and before you knew it, there was a new one on the kitchen counter. Funny, the odd, sometimes stupid things you remember, lol.

Wasn’t the “parents”, it was the abusive father, who later in the career of the kids, when they were in their early 20’s, when asked where the millions of dollars in record sales were, said, and I quote an interview of John cowsill, “what money?” The mother did her best.

Did the Cowsills ever get any royalties from the Partridge family TV show? Isn’t this proof positive of the source of the material. Don’t companies have to buy out the stories from the person/families they’re based on? I’ve seen people sue & win cases with a lot less evidence.

I don't believe they ever made a penny but it's hard to know what sort of deal their dad cut since the production team from The Partridge Family went over to study The Cowsills. I just don't know.

weren’t there any lawyers living in California back then? (or even now?) There’s got to be thousands of cases were money was paid (or awarded) for much less obvious cases. Without doing any research (only from memory) wasn’t “Coming to America” sued & awarded money for lifting a story from a famous NY columnist?

There were laws for child actors but not for child musicians. It's not clear that Bud "stole" the money. He may have owed it to shady investors. He may have mismanaged it. He may have invested it poorly. We just don't truly know.

I know he was a jerk and possibly a pedo, but in this instance Bud Cowsill was correct. If Shirley Jones was the Cowsill "mom" on television, that would have been the end for Barb, because everyone would think Shirley was the mom. And if Barb were out the band the essential Cowsills would be done because and she was their "differentiation" in the market -- almost their trademark
