The Partridge Family Note: A persistent rumor over the years has been that Harrison was a guest star on one of biggest hit shows of the early seventies: The Partridge Family. The rumor goes that Harrison played a teacher and that Laurie Partridge had a bad crush on him. The teacher gets to meet mom Shirley and it's soon evident he has an eye for her -- We have looked a bit into this and have so far come up with no verifiable documentation or indication that he ever appeared on the show. Available resumes of all episodes show that no such plotline was ever realized, nor is Harrison to be found on the show's credit rolls. We can therefore argue as follows : we're dealing with a die hard rumor. The commonly available show plot resumes and credit rolls may be incorrect or incomplete, but they're verifiable and far better documented than the rumor. Furthermore, if Harrison was on the show, his role must have been as so small and unnoticeable it has gone down as 'uncredited', which is pretty unlikely given his then bizwiz as well as later popularity and stance. Should you have more information - or better: an old tape proving us dead wrong - we'd be delighted. Please drop or a line. Thanks!
