Happy anniversary, Josie and the Pussycats on tv!

Long tails and ears for hats, guitars and sharps and flats...

37 years ago today, Josie and the Pussycats premiered in ABC's Saturday morning lineup. Based upon the Archie Comics series of the same name created by Dan DeCarlo (and based on Dan's wife, Josie) Josie and the Pussycats featured an all-girl pop music band that toured the world with their entourage, getting mixed up in strange adventures, spy capers, and mysteries. And believe it or not, the show actually was important, as the show had Valerie Brown, the first regularly appearing black character in a Saturday morning cartoon show.

So everybody sing along, hurry hurry! First with the original...

...and then Josie, Valerie, and Melody through the years...

Don't forget Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space!

but please let us forget that horrible 2001 live action movie. even if it did have Parker Posey and Alan Cumming in it.

As far as I'm concerned the original bunch of cartoons is the only one that matters. No space adventures, no stinky live action movie. EOD.
