Biography

Josie Sells Out

In the Teen Titans Go! episode "Cartoon Feud," Control Freak hijacks the Teen Titans' TV and displays photos of Jonny Quest, Josie and the Pussycats (specifically of Josie, Melody, and Valerie), and Scooby-Doo, which he views as something classic the viewers at home would rather watch on Cartoon Network, but can't because the schedule is always lined up with Teen Titans Go!

Development

Judy Waithe was originally cast but replaced before the series would make its debut, as her readings of the Josie and the Pussycats-hosted In the Know interstitials were not to the CBS Network's liking.
