David Cassidy

I wonder if anyone remembers an episode entitled "Fun and games and Michael Ambrose"? It starred a young David Cassidy, before his fame on the Partridge Family.

I hope I'm not the only one who remembers this show. Personally, I thought that he was a fine dramatic actor. I liked him as Keith Partridge, but I would have liked to see him pursue a more dramatic line of acting.

Long ago and far away, but I thought it was a really good episode.

Does anyone have an idea of how to get this old TV series on DVD? I would love to get this series and several other 60's TV shows on DVD or even VHS.
