The Corner Penthouse

Vibes arrives on Blu-ray as part of Mill Creek Entertainment's Retro VHS Style series, with packaging designed to look like the VHS videocassettes of the 1980s and 1990s. Several other titles in the series have already been reviewed on The Corner Penthouse, and I'm always excited when Mill Creek announces more. It's fun to see if it's a title I used to own on VHS, or one whose trailer I remember seeing at the start of some other VHS tape, or even some obscure movie I've never heard of before.

Josie and the Pussycats is a 16-episode Hanna-Barbera animated series, based upon the Archie Comics series of the same name created by Dan DeCarlo, that aired on CBS during the 1970–1971 television season. In the 1972-1973 television season, the show was re-conceptualized as Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space and aired another 16 episodes. Josie and the Pussycats features an all-girl band that toured the world, getting mixed up in strange adventures, spy capers, and mysteries. The group consisted of lead singer and guitarist Josie, bassist Valerie, and air-headed blonde drummer Melody. Their entourage included cowardly manager Alexander Cabot III, his conniving sister Alexandra, her cat Sebastian, and muscular roadie Alan. The show is very similar to Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! in style and format, including the use of a laugh track, which is omitted from the DVD releases. Warner Brothers has released the complete sixteen episode series of Josie and the Pussycats twice on DVD. The first time was as a 2-disc DVD set on September 18, 2007 and then again as a 3-disc DVD set on June 20, 2017. This review will look at both releases so you'll know which one to buy and which one to avoid.
