Josie and the Pussycats originally started from the popular Archie comics, and then became one of the most memorable Archie comics. Then, Hanna- Baberra made it into a popular cartoon loved by kids in the 70's. The cartoon premiered on television on September 12, 1970.

Josie and the Pussycats followed the adventures of an all-girl rock and roll group as they travelled the world playing gigs and solving mysteries. Along with the three Pussycats was roadie (and Josie's boyfriend) Alan, band manager Alexander Cabot III, his conniving sister Alexandra, and her mischiveous little cat, Sebastian.

Bitter and talentless Alexandra had her eye on Alan, and constantly schemed to remove Josie from the scene so she could lead the band and have Alan all to herself. Alexander often got the band into hot water with his poorly booked tour dates and general cowardice.

After two seasons of mytery-solving, pop-singing adventures, Hanna-Barbera decided to send the gang to the cosmos in Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space. The new show lasted another two seasons.
