Ruby & the Rockits

Alright folks! Those of us who grew up in the 80′s will surely appreciate the wacky getups and dancing performed by the two brothers, Patrick and David. And of course, who can forget the signature “cat crawl” performed so animatedly by Audie? This is a 10 thumbs up, wholesome family show. It is reticent of the sort of TGIF sitcoms we were spoiled on ABC. No one can forget the side splitting antics of Erkel on Family Matters, or the totally rockin’ dude, Cody, on Step-by-Step, or even Balky who came from Mypos on Perfect Strangers. Ahhh … those were the days. And guess what? They’re baaack! Yippee!

It’s no big secret that I was slated to marry teen idol Shaun Cassidy. I never had the chance to tell him, though. I faithfully watched every episode of the Hardy Boys, owned every album, and wore ANYTHING that had Shaun Cassidy’s beautiful face on it – including my satin Shaun Cassidy jacket. It was the bomb! Then I got ketchup on it from a slide (why the ketchup was there, I will never know). My aunt took it to the cleaners, and I never got that jacket back. She probably pocketed the cash, too! I was devastated.

I was also a fan of the Partridge Family, but David couldn’t hold a candle to Shaun. Not in my eyes anyway. :) But you can see the Cassidy brothers once again in a new sitcom on ABC Family.

Property of ABC Family

Ruby and The Rockits follows Patrick Gallagher, a former teen idol who has chosen to lead a quiet life with his wife Audie (herself an ex-80′s music video dancer) and two sons. But when his former Rockits band mate and brother, David, shows up unexpectedly with his new-found teenage daughter in town, the Gallagher family’s life becomes anything but normal. David, who refuses to give up his past glory days, comes to Patrick for help raising Ruby while he continues to perform. Patrick must now put the past with David behind them in order to help raise Ruby and keep order within the rest of the Gallagher clan. Ruby and The Rockits was written by former teen idol Shaun Cassidy and Ed Yeager, with teleplay by Ed Yeager. Former teen idol David Cassidy (“The Partridge Family”), his brother Patrick Cassidy (“Smallville”), Katie A. Keane, Alexa Vega (“Spy Kids”), and Austin Butler (“Zoey 101″) star in the series.

  Beside the house is a palm tree; home to the noisiest night-time birds on this earth. So loud, in fact, that their twitterings and chatterings wake me at 1am. If I open the door, it's like they tell one another to hush because the human is coming!
