Re: Josie and the Pussycats in the works *FINALLY*
Overal I loved the DVD, because it was a great show. But a couple of disappointment, that doesn't ruin the DVD, but still needs to be said.
They don't have the laugh tracks. They had the laugh tracks on the Jetsons, but I am going to guess that they couldn't get a decent version with the laugh tracks. I don't know when HB stopped using laugh tracks on their shows, but I think Josie had laugh tracks. This show was on the 1970 - 71 season, the second season of Scooby Doo Where Are You!!, which had a laugh track in the second season.
Other disappointment is they don't use the original HB logo from the early
70's. They had it on Scooby Doo Where Are You!! release.

Re: Josie and the Pussycats in the works *FINALLY*
Well, if that's the case, I'll pass on this set. While I did enjoy the show, its not a "must-have" if its lacking on anything.
It will, at some point in the future, be re-released, and probably with everything set to rights. I can wait.

Re: Josie and the Pussycats in the works *FINALLY*
I am not possitive Josie and the Pussycats had a laugh tracks, if so I never seen it with laugh tracks. So it is not that big of a difference to me.
Had the Scooby Doo Where Are You DVD not had the laugh tracks, I would have very upset, that is one of the original Scooby Doo trademarks, the laugh tracks. I couldn't enjoy it, had Scooby not have a laugh track.

Josie definitely had a laugh-track, cause I'm watching episodes ON DEMAND through Time Warner Cable.
And the same reason why the laugh track made you laugh harder in Scooby is the same reason why I won't buy Josie. It just ain't the same without it.

Yes the the chase music is in tact. The picture is excellent, the audio quality is okay. Like most Classic HB Collection releases, it is in mono. |

Re: Josie and the Pussycats in the works *FINALLY*
Is it just me, or does the background music on this disc sound strange? Kind of like a wobbly record on a turntable?
The picture quality is decent. Besides the missing laugh track and the HB logo, the set is missing the original short (about 15 seconds each) spots that were at the commercial breaks. I remember one was with Josie and Alan, and one was with Alex and Melody. And the Josie In The Know segments would have been a great extra.
These Hannah Barbera dvd releases are getting me mad. I'm a stickler for wanting stuff released in the original way that it aired on tv. It seems that they
just don't care enough to obtain the original masters. It really got me mad when I bought the Scooby Doo dvd set and the original theme openings were missing. Does anyone own the Scooby Doo Movies dvd set? I assume that it's missing the spots that aired before the commercials too. They existed...I clearly remember them.

Re: Josie and the Pussycats in the works *FINALLY*
Are you talking about the music during the main menu ? If so, then YES.If youre talking about the music in the episodes , then no, the music in the episodes sound ok , but seem slightly low on the volume side.But then again lets not forget this is a 1.0 mono track sound dvd .

I really didn't notice anything strange about the sound.

These are undoubtedly the same masters WHV used for the 2-volume, 4-episode VHS collection in the '90s. I have one of the tapes and it was excellent, in spite of no laughtrack and HB logo @ the end.
They didn't include the original Scooby theme for the SDWAY! Seasons 1 & 2 set (which is why I shined on adding it to my collection). However, it can be heard on the foreign tracks on the Scooby-Doo's Greatest Mysteries DVD.
Josie is on Boomerang on Demand?! Funny how my BOD lists only Dexter's Laboratory and Smurfs episodes....
