Yeah, sorry for not updating as often as I'd like. Been busy with school, looking for a job, and general holiday madness. So, my dad, being my dad recently got me a DVD set of Josie and the Pussycats on DVD. (I think from either K-Mart or Target.) and I watched it over the weekend. It's honestly not a bad DVD set for a show with less than 20 episodes. I am probably going to use the live action films last names, so... bear with me.
This show features the title band, Josie McCoy, and all around nice person, Valerie Brown, a mechanical genius, and Melody Valentine, the dumb sweet blonde. They travel with their manager, Alexander Cabbot III, who usually goes by Alex, their roadie/ Josie's boyfriend Alan, and... Alexandra, Alex's older (?) twin sister, who brings nothing to this aside from causing trouble, trying to take Alan for herself, and blaming Josie for what goes wrong in the group. Fortunately, she gets what's coming to her, but I don't like her much. There's also Alexandra's cat, Sebastian, who while kind of mean, he isn't going to let anything bad happen to his owner.
Episodes focus on the group of teen-somethings traveling around the world to various gigs, including London, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, India, Switzerland... you get the idea, and they come across various mad scientists, various conspiracy theories, and other genuine threats.
There was also a spin-off show called "Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space," back durring the "X in Space" phase of cartoons. The opening explains how they got to space. The group is going to go to space as part of a program, and of course, Alexandra get to be a cam-whore, and ends up pushing the group into the rocket, forcing it to blast of without the help of the crew (God, I hope there was a crew planned to go with them.). And they sing, introducing rock and roll to various alien races. Alexandra, of course, ruins their chances to get back to Earth every time. Again, I don't like Alexandra much. I mean, Alex has a purpose as the band's manager, but is she just their to be a man-stealing hussy? God, I hate her.
This was a pretty good show, despite it's flaws, and I have the complete series on DVD.
