Why wasn't "Danny" played by another actor?
30 October 2006
Shawn ("Andrew" - Desperate Housewives) Pyfrom played the obnoxious Danny Partridge to the hilt. However, my main gripe is that Pyfrom seemed to be playing the part throughout the movie. Danny would have hit puberty faster than when Keith's hair started getting longer. In other words, an older actor should have played Danny as he hit his teen years.

Something else to put in the goofs/anachronisms category: In the scene in the hotel where Danny and Betty Bonaduce have their talk - Danny's hair is styled differently (as it was in the final season). Yet, in the scenes where the cast is told that that show had been axed, Danny's hair reverts to the style he wears for the vast majority of the TV movie. This shows a lack of consistency on the part of the script and research teams. If anybody else had noticed this, I thought I'd mention it for clarity's sake.
