Getting Together (TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Getting Together was a short-lived (thirteen episodes) musical situation comedy, which aired on the ABC television network during 1971 and 1972. It starred Bobby Sherman and Wes Stern as Bobby Conway and Lionel Poindexter, a songwriting duo, who were friends of The Partridge Family (and debuted in character on that program).

Sherman and Stern's characters were reportedly based on the real-life songwriting team of Boyce and Hart, who had written hits for The Monkees ("Last Train to Clarksville", "Valleri"), Jay and the Americans ("Come a Little Bit Closer"), and others. New music of course was a staple of the series, provided by much of the same team that created the Partridge Family songs and records.

Airing in the same time slot as breakout CBS-TV hit All in the Family, the show, despite being well-produced and presented, never gained the ratings hoped for, and soon left the air.
