TV show description:
Based on the Archie comic book series of the same name, this animated show follows the adventures of a girl band with a knack for ending up in the center of bad guy schemes and mysteries.
The band is made up of red-headed guitarist and lead vocalist Josie McCoy (Janet Waldo), bubble-headed drummer Melody Valentine (Jackie Joseph), and brainy vocalist and tambourine player Valerie Brown (Barbara Pariot).
Traveling with the band are their cowardly manager Alexander Cabot III (Casey Kasem), his self-centered twin Alexandra (Sherry Alberoni), and Alexandra’s mischievous pet cat Sabastian (Don Messick). Alan M. Mayberry (Jerry Dexter) is the group’s handsome roadie and Josie’s boyfriend (though Alexandra constantly tries to steal him away).
The Pussycats’ singing voices are provided by Cathy Dougher, Cheryl Ladd, and Patrice Holloway.
