The best shows/movies always have the weirdest premises...but it must be asked, as cool as the idea is...what were they smoking when they put Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space? LOL.
was there ever an episode where they got back to earth?I remember as a kid watching this,every episode that they would get back to earth,I know a couple of times they almost did,but something always happened and they did'nt
Hello yumeshimanet, Well, maybe I "overstepped" myself in this assumption thinking it was a 2001 tribute, but 2001 was plastered everywhere in those days (My rube family never went to the movies so b&w tv was all I had) so maybe the Hanna Barberra folks picked up on putting a ball on top of a rocket. Never even thought of writing them either then! Sputnik comes to mind too -after all it was the exciting space age. Now however, it's coming to an end sadly. No way to expand off the planet.
@yumeshimanet Ha ha I know right? I don't get how they let the animators get away with that, it is so obvious, they must have been high as hell when drawing that shit.
@MrKatyPerryfan Well, if you consider that most of the scooby do saga can be read in the key of them being potheads (shaggy always hungry, them missing obvious clues and hearing a dog talk, daphne and the jock always disappearing, possibly to make out together), you'd probably come to the conclusion that either censorship was way more lax (or less paranoid, I'd say) back in the days or they had some sort of pass to air similar stuff.
@yumeshimanet Good Point! But the sphere is an obviously a tribute to the HAL spaceship seen "2001" By Stanley Kubrick, This cartoon has some terrific artwork in the background -don't everybody don't be so hard on it, it you'll pardon the pun. Imagine if this were turned into a movie with Space:1999's Gerry Anderson's production designer KEITH WILSON designing the sets and general production design of the show! It would be incredible!
@medusanman1964 the show surely had some merit, like including the first afro-american character in a cartoon cast (AFAIK), but the abuse of rotoscoping and keeping it on a silly, musicalish and episodic format didn't make a breakthrough out of it.
Nothing more, nothing less.
P.S.: not so sure about the Kubrick reference, as it was a fairly common futuristic design, back in the days; did anyone in the staff ever claimed it to be that way?
I love how outer space looks like the inside of a marble in this show, those weird red strips in space. and how, at the show's start. the Photographers and the elevator vanish once the ship takes off..perhaps the blast blew them away.
@deadmaaan09 - Yeah at that time, the space thing was big with all the Apollo Moon missions, Skylab and so on. I also remember the Partridge Family 2200 AD, it was sort of like the Partridge Family ends up in the Jetson's time.

@brnleague99 It seems like everybody wound up in outer space in the early 1970s--The Partridge Family, Gilligan's Island...

That launch vehicle must have a delta-v budget through the ROOF, if they're cruising between planets so casually.
Why doesn't NASA build more spacecraft with such high specific-impulse engines?

Nothing I love more than a story (book, comic, movie, tv show) with a wacky concept. And this strikes me as the ULTIMATE in wacky concepts.
