The Archie Show

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The Archie Show is a Saturday morning cartoon animated series produced
by Filmation. Based on the Archie comic books, created by Bob Montana in
1941, The Archie Show debuted on CBS in September 1968 and lasted for
one season. A total of 17 half-hour shows, each containing two 11 minute
segments, were aired. Archie cartoons continued to be aired in various
forms until 1978.

Overview

The show revolves around 17-year-old Archie Andrews and his teen-age
pals from Riverdale High School including: his best friend, food fiend
Jughead Jones; wise-cracking Reggie Mantle; beautiful, spoiled-rich
brunette Veronica Lodge; and attractive, blonde, girl-next-door tomboy
Betty Cooper.[1] On the show, the friends appeared as a pop rock band
featuring Archie on lead guitar. The Archies had a real-life #1 hit
single in 1969 with their song, "Sugar, Sugar", written by Jeff Barry
and Andy Kim.[1] Their songs have been covered by other artists. For
instance Sugar, Sugar by Bob Marley (and many others); Get on the Line
by The Sweet.

The Archie Show contained a laugh track, the first Saturday morning
cartoon to do so[2] (using the success of The Archie Show as a template,
nearly all cartoon series' would utilize laugh tracks until the early
1980s). Previous cartoon series', such as Rocky and Bullwinkle, The
Flintstones and The Jetsons, had utilized laugh tracks. However, these
shows were broadcast during prime time with the target audience being
adults.

A typical episode started with the first Archie story, introduced by
Archie and occasionally a different character. Next was a "dance of the
week" segment starting with a teaser, then after the commercial break
Archie introduced the dance, followed by the song of the week performed
by The Archies. After that was a short joke followed by the 2nd Archie
story. All 17 half hours were presented in this format.

I believe that these files came from Demonoid, and I haven't seen any
full Archies packs here so I thought I'd put this up, in hopes that
someone will add the other disks to torrent! I think the Archies are
great!

This is one of my favorite cartoons, simple and innocent fun, and of
course, my favorite character, Hot Dog, woof! Also included are a couple
of Archies songs and a few comics I had laying around.
