Josie and the Pussycats - The Complete Series

Grab a bowl of Froot Loops and travel back to 1970!

This new Hanna-Barbera DVD collection is good clean fun for the kids and a nostalgic overdose for those of my generation.

Josie & the Pussycats is based on the Scooby Doo model, Scooby had been a huge hit for CBS a couple of years prior to Josie's debut and the character designs are practically identical, as are the voices. I actually like Josie & the Pussycats a lot better than Scooby, but not as much as the highly entertaining Josie & the Pussycats in Outer Space which followed the year after this cartoon. And the show has one of the most memorable theme songs in TV history.

Also included is an absolutely wonderful, uplifting documentary on the recently deceased Dan DeCarlo, the creator of Josie & the Pussycats comic books and the premier Archie comics artist. It's a fairly long tribute, much like the tribute to Alex Toth found on the Space Ghost DVD. This documentary is easily worth the price of admission alone. In it, you'll see Stan Lee, Mark Evanier, Paul Dini and other comics' notables. It's somewhat odd but terrific that they produced this tribute because, as I recall, DeCarlo was suing Archie Comics over the rights to Josie & the Pussycats.

The music is bubble gum pop, the violence is practically nonexistent, the storylines silly,and the animation is standard 1970's Hanna-Barbera but it looks a great deal better today on DVD than it did on the TV 37 years ago. Wow, was it really that long ago?

Product Description:
For those who waited anxiously every Saturday morning to faithfully follow their favorite band, your wait for their return on DVD is over. Josie and the Pussycats have reunited for this exclusive engagement!

These "chicks" weren't just whistling Dixie. Their claws and fangs emerged to bust the meanest dudes - without messing up their hair and makeup for their next big sold-out concert.
