In the late 1960s, Creator/HannaBarbera wanted to make a cartoon based off of an Archie's property, similarly to Creator/{{Filmation}}'s ''WesternAnimation/TheArchieShow''. They revamped ''She's Josie'' into ''Josie and the Pussycats''. Pepper was dropped and replaced with Valerie, Josie and Melody were now in a band, and they were accompanied by three new characters: Alan, the Pussycats' roadie and Josie's love interest; Alexander, the Pussycats' manager; Alexandra, Alexander's twin who both wants Alan to herself and wants to replace Josie as leader of the band; and Sebastian, Alexandra's sneaky cat (who also acts as her {{familiar}}). Together, they travel around while coming across various mishaps. The 1970 cartoon is one of the better recalled ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' clones.
