- Josie and the Pussycats - The Complete Series
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.

- Josie is fun
I recall this cartoon clearly as a kid and even loving the syndicated versions as well as the airplay they got on Cartoon Network, and to see this on DVD is so worth the price even though i have IPOD versions of a few epiodes. On the other hand HB can keep the follwing season sending them in space. Not the fav honestly. Well worth seeing again and again.

Saturday morning nostalgia reigns supreme with the delightful DVD release of the original animated "JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS." When I was a little boy, my Saturday morning TV ritual included both "SCOOBY DOO, WHERE ARE YOU?" and "JOSIE." Both shows have a lot in common-- and not just because Casey Kasem provided the voice for both "Scooby-Doo's" Shaggy and "Pussycats" manager Alexander Cabot III-- but in terms of plot premise, too.
"Josie and the Pussycats" were a bubble-gum pop group. The girl group,-- Josie, bubble-head blonde Melody, and smart Valerie-- along with Alexander, Alexandria, Alan, and cat companion Sebastian, traveled the world and spent as much time battling weird, nefarious super-villians as they did making music. When I was five years old, I had a crush on Josie, voiced by Janet Waldo, whose name, strangely, does not appear in the closing credits. Turns out, I would have a crush on Josie's hunky boyfriend Alan today. Hee Hee! Hah! Hah!
My favorite villians are Mastermind in "Never Mind A Mastermind" and the evil Countess who develops a strange perfume-like mist to turn everybody in the world old in the final episode "Don't Count On A Countess." One episode, "Plateau Of The Apes Plot," even seems to be inspired directly by "PLANET OF THE APES." Each episode featured an extended "chase sequence" and a bubble-gum pop song like "Clock On The Wall", in addition to the unforgettably catchy title song that opened the show each week.
"JOSIE & THE PUSSYCATS" fans will likely also want to purchase the Saturday Morning cartoon DVD releases of "THE PEBBLES AND BAM-BAMM SHOW" and "SABRINA, THE TEEN-AGE WITCH." Great Fun-- I can't wait!
