Behind the Scenes: The Making of Josie and the Pussycats for Our YouTube Channel


Josie and the Pussycats 
is a made-for-TV cartoon that William Hanna and Joseph Barbera produced for their company, Hanna-Barbera. It ran from 1970 to 1971, with a total of 16 episodes airing on CBS, Josie and the gang would later be lost, traveling through space in a spinoff series called Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space (1972). Based upon Archie Comics' Josie and the Pussycats ach episode typically involved bubblegum pop band, Josie and the Pussycats, consisting of Josie, Valerie and Melody, traveling the world with band manger
Alexender, roadie Alan, Alexender's sister, Alexandra, and her cat Sebastian. Usually the group would find themselves in trouble with some kind of villain, and would have to stop their evil plan. It was one of many attempts by Hanna-Barbera to recreate the success of the Scooby-Doo franchise.

When we started creating characters for our YouTube channel, the entire cast were in a later lineup we did for modeling, we made them as they were part of HB's history, I did no modeling work for the characters.

The first Josie story we produced for the channel, titled "Comin' Up With a Groovy Tune," which wasn't written by me. The plot followed the gang coming up with a groovy tune. The second story, titled "The Case of the Missing Instruments," which again, wasn't written by me, involved the gang searching for their missing instruments. In the final story, "The Band's All Set Up," which I also didn't write, had the gang getting ready to make a groovy tune.

We are still in the process of writing more Josie and the Pussycats stories, as well as other Hanna-Barbera stories that you may see in the future. However, we haven't written a Josie and the Pussycats story in a while as of 2023, but I hope we can create more in the near future.
