Ruby & The Rockits is an American comedy series executive produced by Shaun Cassidy and Marsh McCall. The series premiered on Tuesday, July 21, 2009.

The series was created by Shaun Cassidy, the creator of American Gothic and Invasion, brother of cast member Patrick Cassidy, and half-brother of the show's star David Cassidy. Their youngest brother Ryan Cassidy worked on the show in a behind-the-scenes capacity.

Ruby & The Rockits follows Patrick Gallagher, a former teen icon, who has chosen to lead a quiet life with his wife Audie (herself an ex-1980s music video dancer) and two sons. But when his former Rockits band mate and brother, David, shows up unexpectedly with his new-found teenage daughter in town, the Gallagher family's life becomes anything but normal. David, who refuses to give up his past glory days, comes to Patrick for help raising Ruby while he continues to perform. Patrick must now put the past with David behind them in order to help raise Ruby and keep order within the rest of the Gallagher clan.

Ruby & The Rockits was written by former teen idol Shaun Cassidy and Ed Yeager, with teleplay by Ed Yeager and Marsh McCall. Former teen idol David Cassidy (The Partridge Family), his brother Patrick Cassidy (Smallville), Katie A. Keane, Alexa Vega (Spy Kids), and Austin Butler (Zoey 101) star in the series.

ABC Family announced on October 8, 2008 that the pilot had been greenlit and, on February 2, 2009, announced it had ordered 10 episodes for a full season. The series premiere of Ruby & the Rockits was watched by 1.6 million viewers.

In September 2009, ABC Family decided not to order any additional episodes, effectively canceling the series after one season.
