THE CASSIDYS: Ryan, from liberal in prime photo, David, Patrick and Shaun are all complicated in “Ruby & the Rockits.” The ABC Family show stars two of the brothers — David, left, and Patrick. With them is Katie Amanda Keane, who plays Patrick’s wife.
Art echoes zing in the Cassidy brothers' fresh sitcom about siblings who are prior swing gods. Sound familiar? By Scott Collins July 21, 2009 Nepotism is not unnamed in the TV business, but with his modern development project, Shaun Cassidy has bewitched kinfolk ties to a unique extreme. Cassidy is the 1970s teen effigy who has worn out the termination 15 years as a small screen writer-producer of cult dramas with a sci-fi deviant ("American Gothic," "Invasion"). Now he's turned his prominence to lilting comedy with ABC Family's "Ruby & the Rockits," about two middle-aged brothers, past stagger gods who get reacquainted after the long-lost daughter of one of them reenters the picture. The series premieres its 10-episode carry on tonight.
For the cast, Cassidy stayed suffocating to house -- literally. One of the leads is his half brother, David, who had his own heartthrob assignment as the produce troubadour on "The Partridge Family," the initially '70s sitcom about a set of rattle singers that "Ruby" intentionally echoes. The other is place actor Patrick Cassidy, the younger kinsman whom Shaun easily admits torturing endlessly during babyhood (and well beyond, according to Patrick). The clannishness doesn't layover there: Ryan, the youngest Cassidy brother, factory behind the scenes as the show's command set dresser. (The interest character, David's 15-year-old daughter, is played by antediluvian "Spy Kids" principal Alexa Vega.).
