Description:  Partridge Family 2200 A.D. was a 1974 animated series by Hanna-Barbera that transplanted the singing family from the 1970s sitcom to the year 2200. In this futuristic setting, the family was a galaxy-famous musical group that toured the stars in a spaceship, accompanied by new companions like a robot dog named Orbit and two alien friends, a Martian girl named Marion and a Venusian boy named Veenie. The show's design was heavily influenced by The Jetsons, featuring futuristic technology and a setting in a city built on towering pillars.

Characters: The original family members were present, with Shirley as the single mother leading the band. Original actors like Danny Bonaduce reprised their roles, with some voice replacements for others. New characters included the robot dog Orbit, Martian Marion, and Venusian Veenie.

Setting: The show was set in a futuristic city reminiscent of The Jetsons, complete with flying cars, automated food stands, and tube travel. The family's iconic bus was replaced by a psychedelic-painted spaceship for interstellar touring.

Plot: Unlike the original, the family was a major, established musical act, not a group trying to make it big. Many episodes involved the family dealing with future-themed shenanigans, such as Danny's schemes with Orbit or Keith getting involved in sci-fi movies.
