If the signal of a '50s sitcom had gotten lost in space and bounced around for a half-century before returning to Earth, it might look like "Ruby and the Rockits."
Which isn't totally a bad thing.
The main differences are that along the way it picked up a little infusion from "High School Musical," and its nuclear family isn't entirely traditional.
The title character, Ruby (Alexa Vega), is the teen daughter of faded rock star David Gallagher (David Cassidy). As soon as Ruby - who never knew her father - finds this out, she buys a one-way ticket to live with him.
