Partridge Family Season 3 Episode 7 The Mod Father

The Partridge Family season 3 episode 7, titled "The Mod Father," follows the musical family as they get involved in the fashion world. When Laurie and Danny meet Max (played by Dick Clark) a fashion photographer, they convince him to give them some modeling gigs. However, when Max has a falling out with his current model, he finds himself in a bind and turns to the Partridge family for help.

While on location at a photoshoot, Max introduces the family to a famous fashion designer, Marco (played by Vincent Gardenia), who takes an interest in Keith's style. Marco asks Keith to be his muse and convinces Keith to ditch his family's wholesome image in favor of a more modern, edgy look.

The rest of the family is skeptical of Keith's new persona, especially Shirley, who worries about the effect it will have on their clean-cut image and fanbase. As Keith becomes more and more involved in the fashion world, he starts neglecting his family and music career in favor of his new "mod" lifestyle.

Meanwhile, Reuben, the family's manager, is convinced that the fashion world is just a passing fad and urges the family to stay true to their roots. He worries that if they jump on the bandwagon, they will lose all credibility and fade into obscurity.

As Keith's newfound fame and success continue to drive a wedge between him and his family, they must come together to help him realize what's truly important. In the end, they learn that while it's okay to try new things and explore different opportunities, it's important to stay true to oneself and never forget where you came from.

Overall, "The Mod Father" is a fun, lighthearted episode that explores the intersections of fashion and music in the 1970s. It's a great showcase for the talented cast of actors and musicians and is sure to delight fans of all ages.
