Can't remember who posted it, but to answer your question, there is a VH1 doc about The Partridge Family. Dave Madden was remembered fondly by everyone in the cast, especially Danny Bonaduce.

If Malone had agreed to be interviewed for the doc, I wonder how much of it would have even made the cut. He clearly wasn’t going to kiss the ring.

Never happy, many gripes, culminating with saying with the freakin' gold medal around his neck that his immediate plans were, "get on the first thing smokin' out of here." He had company there.

 

That was me! I watched the show on reruns in the 80s and always liked Madden's comedic skills and unique voice.

In an interview with Zach Lowe, Barkley said his Dream Team II experience sucked, too. Mentioned a lot of guys bitching about playing time, starting, etc.

 

That’s why I said “If Malone had agreed to be interviewed for the doc ...”
