Lázaro Pérez.

I bought this just to see Mr Pérez in an early role and I love him even more! After seeing him as a curandero on Sex in the City, I saw on the cast roster he'd been on Partridge Family?

I gave it 10 stars cuz why not? As another reviewer noted: Dick Balduzzi and Slim Pickens and the episode is as sweet, fun, beautiful and pleasant as one would hope with a crushable Mr David Cassidy, a beautiful Susan Dey, a winsome Shirley Jones and a precociously present Mr Danny Bonaduce.

I was heartened by the music and Mr Pérez, for whom I have an über-calling of following managed to deepen my appreciation of him. After having seen him play a dying priest, a rock musician, a security guard et al, I was almost brought to tears to see his blessed young and handsome face and hear the kind, vibratoed and deep voice that was stalwart. He captured every nuance of the horse jockey he played - here and gone like every other character I've seen him do, here and gone, leaving a pang of empathy for someone one wishes to know for just a moment longer.

Slim Pickens and Dick Balduzzi
kevinolzak4 March 2014
"Nag, Nag, Nag" has Danny winning a raffle for a race horse named F. Scott Fitzgerald, hoping to convince his mother that it would be best to keep it at their home. Once they decide to enter him to run at the San Pueblo County Fair, they first must cure the animal's insomnia. Slim Pickens is always a welcome presence, while making his second appearance is Dick Balduzzi, previously seen as the elevator man in "But the Memory Lingers On." The featured song is a cover of Neil Sedaka's 1962 signature tune "Breaking Up is Hard to Do," which he co-wrote with Howard Greenfield, issued as a single July 1972, peaking on the Billboard singles charts at 26, appearing (as the only new track) Sept 1972 on AT HOME WITH THEIR GREATEST HITS. Interestingly, Sedaka himself had a top 10 hit (#8) with a newly recorded slower version just three years after David Cassidy's.
