"The 1970 animated television series 'Josie And The Pussycats' proved to be one of the very best shows of its kind. Although it lasted for only 16 episodes, it turned out to be an excellent example of of great story-telling on Saturday mornings. It was always exciting to follow the adventures of Josie, Valerie, Melody, Alan, Alexander, Alexandra and Sebastian each week. They managed to successfully defeat the bad guys every time, while traveling around the world and singing their latest batch of hit songs. Now, that the entire series has been released onto a complete DVD package is a thrill for every Josie fan. Each episode is presented in its entirety and in the original broadcast order. The picture and sound quality are outstanding. There is also a special tribute to Dan DeCarlo, the creator of the Josie comic series. It also would have been a treat for this DVD set to have included every episode of 'Pussycats In The Know', the informative news magazine hosted by the the animated cast of the series, which originally aired after each full-length epsiode on CBS. Nonetheless, having the complete series on DVD more than makes up for any other inconsistancies. Trust me; you can not go wrong with this DVD release. It is still a lot of fun."Read full review
I bought this DVD for my daughter because I remember enjoying "Josie and the Pussycats" when I was a little girl. It's really a kick to watch these old cartoons from my childhood and realize how much animation has evolved along with subject matters. I appreciate not having to worry about the content in the cartoons; they definitely represent a more innocent time. Most of all, I couldn't be more thankful that these vintage cartoons are available on DVD to share with my little girl. It's a great way to share memories from my childhood with her and I really look forward to making time to watch them with her!
This may very well be the best cartoon show ever made! Combine the antics of Scooby Doo [sans the annoying Scooby Doo character] with the fun of an all-girl rock band! This show was the first to feature a regular African American character and the first for an all girl rock band, too. With art very close to the original comic art by Dan DeCarlo! It features a great documentary on him, furthermore. The Josie property is by far, in my opinion, the best of the Archie series and this show is great! LONG TAILS AND EARS AS HATS!
"Josie" started out as an "Archie" Comic (as the lone Special Feature explains). "Josie and the Pussycats" was Hanna Barbera's most successful and enjoyable send-up to Scooby-Doo (it was the only Scooby-Doo send-up to survive for two complete seasons, counting their jettison into outerspace). By the way, this "complete series" is actually just the first complete season ("...in Outerspace" was released on a made-to-order basis from the Warner Archive Collection, directly from the website). Anyway, every Saturday Morning, the fearless leader Josie, brainy Valerie, vivacious if slightly scatter-brained Melody, roadie Alan, annoying anti-hero Alexandra, cowardly Shag-I mean, Alexandar (iconocally voiced by Casey Kasem, reutilizing Shaggy's exact voice and many of his mannerisms), and Alexandra's mischevious, if always dependable cat, Sebastian, foiled spies, evil scientists, Captain Nemo's wicked grandson (as usual, it's best not to ask) and other assorted Earthly antagonists. Fair warning: Many Saturday morning cartoons throughout the 70s utilized a prerecorded laughtrack. The initial run of Josie was no exception; yet the laughtrack was oddly left out of the DVD releases.Read full review
What a super collection! Having watched Josie and the Pussycats as a child, it was too good to pass up an opportunity to own the complete series on DVD so our children can take a break from all the silly cartoons of today to enjoy one of the most loved series in the halcyon days of cartoons. Effective packaging, both the cover photo as well as the inner case which holds multiple disks and keeps them safe from scratches. Great value, in all, for family entertainment and we expect to enjoy them for many years to come!
