Line 1: {{work\|wppage=Josie and the Pussycats (TV series)}} ~~{{work}}~~ [[File:josie2.jpg\|frame]] Although based on an [[Archie Comics]] [[Josie and the Pussycats (comics)\|publication]], ~~this~~the '''''Josie and the Pussycats''''' animated series was produced by [[Hanna-Barbera]] rather than [[Filmation]]. The all-female rock [[Power Trio\|trio]] comprised guitarist Josie McCoy, tambourinist Valerie Brown and drummer Melody Valentine. Valerie is [[Black and Nerdy]], Melody is a [[Dumb Blonde]] and Josie is of average intellect. Supporting characters were Alan Mayberry, an ex-country singer who became the Pussycats' roadie and Josie's love interest; Alexandra Cabot, who continually competed with Josie for Alan's affections; Alexander Cabot III, Alexandra's cowardly twin brother and the Pussycats' manager, and Sebastian, Alexandra's snickering cat. In the successor series, ''Josie and the Pussycats [[Recycled in Space\|in Outer Space]]'', a woolly creature named Bleep joined the cast. Line 8: It was adapted into [[Live Action Adaptation\|a live-action film]] in 2001. For information on that, click [[Josie and the Pussycats (film)\|here]]. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} * [[Animated Adaptation]]: It started in Archie Comics, after all. Line 23: * [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]: Usually because of some tragedy befalling Alexandra. * [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: Once the series was recycled in Space, this became the only option for our heroes finding their way home. Even if some benevolent aliens pointed them in the right direction, Alexandra would inevitably accidentally bump into something, throwing them off course (which is how they got lost in space in the first place). * [[Fake Band]]: [[Captain Obvious\|Well, yeah.]] Interestingly, as part of the development process an actual trio was assembled for recording (rather than relying entirely upon studio musicians), including [[w:Patrice Holloway\|Patrice Holloway]] voicing Valerie and Hollywood newcomer Cherie Moor (later known as [[Charlie's Angels\|Cheryl Ladd]]) as Melody. (See the ''Executive Meddling'' entry on the Trivia page for some consequences of the casting.) * [[Five-Man Band]]: ** [[The Hero]]: Josie.
