Bubblegum Retrospective

[Jung Roe]

Jacki, oh yeah how can I forget the “Mod Squad“, Streets of San Francisco, Kojak, and Hawaii 5-0.  I enjoyed the new series Hawaii 5-0, maybe more out of nostalgia for the original that it can’t hold a candle to.  21 Jump Street series they did in the 80s with Johnny Depp I thought was a nice tribute to the Mod Squad.  It was all filmed in Vancouver so I recognized some of the locations and highschools they filmed in.

Ah, yes, Josie and the Pussycats…lol…I forgot about that….weren’t  they a spinoff from Archie show….!?

That’s right, Jacki.  It was basically an excuse for the Archie people to create Scooby-Doo type adventures.  But the climactic chase scenes featured some groovy bubblegum songs.

Agreed David, indeed some Groovy  cartoon tunes….yes, I did watch Scooby Doo…Cass Elliot did a  guest voice spot -cartoon appearance in an episode about a chocolate factory,  I believe it was…, not exactly sure if a chocolate factory  , or, something  else but she did do an appearance.
