Production notes
Now in their third season- the first two in Josie and the Pussycats- those cartoon hotties in catsuits boldly went where no all-grrrl band had gone before. Josie, Melody, Valerie, manager Alexander Cabot III, his sister Alexandra, well-chiseled Alan, and band mascot Sebastian the cat somehow ended up locked in a NASA capsule and rocketed to space.
The new setting brought new adventures and a new friend, Melody's pet space alien, Bleep, from the planet Zelcor. Unfortunately, the interplanetary hook didn't play out like Hanna-Barbera had hoped, and after sixteen episodes, it was back to earth for Josie and pals.

Reviews
Freeze Where You Are
Less-than-impressive effect of the gang being frozen. The 'ray-gun' shoots some sort of spring effet that freezes everyone.
Many of these episodes of Josie in Outer space seem to deal with something animated, duplication, still motion, backwards and upside-down.
Interesting in an amusing way to see Alan M., Alexandra and Josie impersonate robots that they wouldnt be able to fit in. The robots have extremely thin pencil arms.
Other interesting bit was Melody accidentally freezing everyone but the bad guy, then aiming the gun at herself as well.
"No, Melody! Don't pull that trigger!"
