Josie and the Pussycats (TV)

Josie and the Pussycats TV
Looking to replicate the success of the Archies in both animated and music, Josie and the Pussycats went from the comic book to the small screen. The all girl group would find themselves in adventures, while finding time to sing a pop song. The show would last a few years and the trip would forever be known as much for their singing as they would be for their outfits which were leopard print unitards with a tail complete with “ears for hats”.


In terms of the band, they had a lot more support than most fictitious groups. They had a roadie, an agent, and an agent’s sister who was jealous of Josie and her band. The show survived two incarnations, the second where they were in Outer Space (seriously), and an actual live action version of the group was created to coincide with the animated series. The amazing thing we find here is for a band that everyone knows; the only song that anyone remembers is their theme.
