The Partridge Family - Season 2, Episode 12 (37)
Title: Guess Who's Coming To Drive
First aired: December 10, 1971
Synopsis:
Reuben Kincaid, the Partridge Family’s manager, arrives at their house to show them the schedule for the upcoming summer tour. Shirley’s just returned from shopping, and she is not happy with the news. Previously their longest tour lasted two weeks. Shirley wonders how they will manage to be on the road for two months. Even with Keith's help driving the bus, it will be very tiring. She feels that they simply can’t go on such a long tour even though all bookings have been made.
It is little Tracy who has a brilliant idea. Why not hire a driver? It’s a perfect solution, so they try to find an appropriate, reliable person. Someone who can drive a bus (which is not easy), but also someone they can trust. Finally, they hire Johnny; he is not too young and not too old, an excellent driver, he can help with carrying suitcases and equipment, and he is happy with the salary he is offered.

That's right; we're going on a tour.
A close-up of David Cassidy:
Boy, is David getting tall.
