Moving from its traditional Friday-night timeslot to a Saturday berth opposite CBS' blockbuster All in the Family, The Partridge Family launched its fourth and final season with this episode which introduces Ricky Segall as new recurring character Ricky Stevens. Four-year-old Ricky is brought into the plot when his mother Doris (Nita Talbot) and sister Donna (Ronne Troup) move next door to the singing Partridges. Despising show business in general and rock music in particular, the ill-tempered Doris demands that Shirley Partridge (Shirley Jones) cease and desist her family's daily rehearsals--and when Shirley tries to mollify her new neighbor, Doris obtains a court order to shut the family group down for good!
