David Cassidy and Alexa Vega, May 30, 2009
Alexa Vega - "Ruby & the Rockits"
"Ruby & the Rockits" was billed as a (Partridge) family affair for the Cassidy brothers. David was making his triumphant return to TV, brother Patrick was his co-star, and brother Shaun was the producer/writer. Even youngest sibling, Ryan, was involved as a set dresser, and mom Shirley Jones made a guest appearance. But in reality, the show was ABC Family's attempt at having their own Miley Cyrus. It was all about Alexa Vega, who sang a song available on iTunes in every episode. Sadly for Alexa and the Cassidys, the show didn't skyrocket any of them to "Hannah Montana" heights and was canceled after just ten episodes. But Vega (who got her big break playing Carmen in the "Spy Kids" movies) has plenty of worked lined up post-"Ruby." There's a Charles Kaufman-penned horror film with Rebecca De Mornay, "Mothers' Day"; a big-screen "Friends"-like movie, "Cafe," about a group of chums who hang out at a coffee shop; and a Latino version of the Jane Austen classic called "Sense and Sensibilidad." But if you're jonsin' for some more David Cassidy, you'll have to catch his show touring the States starting in February.
