Quotes
Danny:
Look, Keith, you've got to help me.
Keith:
No, I don't.
Danny:
All I need is a little advice.
Keith:
About what?
Danny:
About how to get rid of a woman that's crazy about you.
Keith:
All right. You might start by revealing some of your bad points, which shouldn't be too difficult. Discourage her.
Danny:
It wouldn't work. She'd know I was lying.
Keith:
One thing's for sure: she's not hooked on your humility.

Shirley's semi-boyfriend Richard Lawrence brings his pre-teen daughter over to meet the Partridges, and the precocious blonde tyke gets a crush on...Danny? One of the weakest episodes of the otherwise first-rate third season has Jodie Foster guest-starring, yet the script gives her no sharp lines and the director doesn't utilize her inherent smarts or charm. One would think a romantic-minded little girl might swoon over pop-idol Keith instead of Danny, and pudgy Danny Bonaduce is an ill-fitting screen-match with small-stature Foster, who was ten when this was filmed but looks about eight. Not even Women's Lib-minded Laurie bothers to say anything when Foster's Julie turns down her favorite vegetable because Danny hates carrots. The episode smacks of writing done by someone who probably never even watched the show, and the only lively sequence is when Keith and the family launch into "Walking in the Rain" at an unnamed outdoor venue.
