I was just watching an old re-run of THE PARTIDGE FAMILY and, HOLY FUCK, Richard guest starred on the show with Lou Gossett jr. (with a full head of hair I might add).

In the episode, Richard and Lou own a "soul" club and borrow money from a loan shark to keep the club afloat.
Their plans go down the drain to pay back the loan shark and the Partridge family saves the day. It was a real groovy episode and Richard was great in it.

Anyone else catch this?

graniteplanet,
I remember seeing that episode a long time ago thinking the same thing :

"DAMN!!Lou Gossett got a full head of hair!!!"

But yeah that was a crazy sight to see with Richard in a episode of The Partridge Family!!Hopefully VH1 is about to start showing the original episodes again just so I can see that episode again!!!

It even shows David Cassidy and Richard's characters "writing" a song together!

a full head of hair, u say.
u [/i]sure[/i] it was mr. gossett??

bountyhunterseven,
Oh yeah it was him alright........

dumbass,
The only other time I remember him having hair was when he played "Fiddla"...
Bruce Willis doesn't have hair?He had a full amount of hair in "[/i]Unbreakable[/i]"!!!
Yeah he started losing it sometime after "MoonLighting" went the air.......

graniteplanet,
you know, I saw clips of that on vh1's "worst minority tv moments", and they were mentioning that a white boy, or a white family had to save a group of black people from loosing their business and what not. I didn't think anything of it, I mean, they were just trying to make a little minority point, but it wouldn't matter what race decides to help my black-owned business, ya dig?
