A whole lot of lovin' is what we'll be bringin'/We'll make you happy!

Another breathtaking example of Hollywood originality and risk-taking: They're working on a "Partridge Family" remake. For NBC; network co-chairman Ben Silverman's old company Reveille is producing it.

Ironically, the motto for NBC parent company GE is "Imagination at Work."

Jeff Rake, the guy who came up with the idea to crib the old idea, explains his bold new vision for the show: "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. 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."

So, wait, I'm confused - is this a remake of "The Partridge Family" or a sitcom version of "Living Lohan?"

That whimper you just heard was Television's last remaining vestige of self-respect.
