Centered on a girl band with a knack for ending up in the middle of a mystery, Josie and the Pussycats is a 1970 Saturday Hanna-Barbera television cartoon series featuring Josie, a character conceived and drawn by "Archie" Comic legend Dan DeCarlo, his complete 16-episode series features band members Josie, Melody, and Valerie and their entourage Alan, Alexander, Alexandra, and cat Sebastian as they travel the world from one gig to another. Like the Scooby-Doo gang, Josie and her friends invariably find themselves involved in some kind of mystery at every stop. Whether it's saving a fleet of ships from a captain set on avenging his great grandfather, investigating alien invaders with an insatiable hunger for diamonds, or stopping a crazed scientist from controlling the world's weather with a nuclear powered weather machine, lead singer Josie, clever Valerie, and ditzy Melody can be counted upon to combine forces with Josie's boyfriend Alan, the cowardly Alexander, the self-absorbed and scheming Alexandra, and the snickering cat Sebastian to investigate and solve the mystery just in time to don their leopard leotards and deliver a great show. Josie and the Pussycats features the groovy music of a brief-lived 1970 girl pop band of the same name throughout the chase scenes of each show and has the honor of being the first cartoon series to regularly feature a black character (though it beat The Harlem Globetrotters by only half an hour). An interesting 22-minute bonus profile of Dan DeCarlo features extensive interviews with great Marvel cartoonist Stan Lee (Spiderman, Fantastic Four), writer Mark Evanier, cartoonist Scott Shaw, "Archie" chairman and publisher Michael Silberkleit, writer and producer Paul Dini, and a host of others who touch upon everything from this master cartoonist's real-life inspiration for Josie to his influence on future cartoonists and animators, sense of humor, and very distinctive style.

 My kids love this DVD and it brings back a lot of good memories! August 24, 2009
J. Noble (Oviedo, FL)
You can't go wrong with classic cartoons like Josie and the Pussycats. We have really enjoyed the DVDs.
FINALLY!!!! June 21, 2009
Christopher Francis (Newark, DE)
I HATED cartoons as a kid, wanting to watch soap operas and game shows instead... EXCEPT for "Josie & The Pussycats"!!! Love the songs (find the bootleg CD on ebay if you can), the characters (Alexandra and Melody most of all), and yes, even as an adult, I laugh out loud at some of the campy '70s lingo and jokes...
What is REALLY shocking is that I remember almost all of the episodes verbatim except for the last 4 (Disc 2, Side 2)... I'm almost thinking that these weren't shown as part of the syndication package or something when I watched it in the late '70s or on Cartoon Network in the '90s... What a joy to see some "Josie" episodes I didn't actually remember!!!
While the tribute to Dan DeCarlo certainly was nostalgic and enjoyable, it sure would've been nice to see some "Where are they now?" interviews with the ladies (including, of course, Cheryl Ladd) who sang the Pusscats' songs...
Now let's hope the "Pussycats in Outer Space" gets its due release!!!
Flashback! December 29, 2008
limesd (san diego, ca)
Wow, what a flashback! This is one of my favorite Hanna-Barbera cartoons. It certainly took me back to my childhood. Those were the good 'ol days when cartoons are just good cartoons.
I just plan these capers, I don't participate December 4, 2008
Larkhall (FL)
Crazy capers with the best girl band ever!
I'm a big Pussycats fan from childhood. Heck, even as an adult I purchased the CD of the various and IMO, great songs and talented vocalists from the TV Show.
If you love Josie, Alexander, Alexandra and the gang, naturally this classic toon needs to be in your TV DVD collection.

Marilyn W (Darlington, SC)
My 7 year old daughter loves this. She enjoys the music, the thrilling adventures and the never ending pursuit of Alan by Alexandra. (Can't she figure out that Alan likes Josie?) Not a classic such as "The Flintstones" or "The Jetsons" or even the "Smurfs", but a good, solid runner-up. I do not like the packaging though. It is a sturdy, fold-out cardboard that is a pain to slide in and out of the cardboard sleeve.
