First, numerous successful scripted television shows made their way to Saturday mornings in the mid-70s, like I Dream of Jeannie, Gilligan's Island, and Star Trek. The Partridge Family got the same treatment in 1974, but with a catch--it's set over 200 years in the future. Also, some key components in the Partridge Family universe were missing. If you see the show image, it looks awfully similar to a venerable Hanna-Barbera series, and for good reason.
Then, it's time for another Revisited episode. This time, we're looking at a show that, in recent months, has appeared on-demand and airs with regularity on a FAST channel. We're checking in again with The Ropers and questioning whether it truly is one of the 50 worst shows in TV history. You be the judge, but we think it does not deserve that moniker.
