Storyline
Archie and the gang are back, and this time they are serving as the crew of a local TV station as they cover various events in Riverdale. In addition, the gang also present various adaptations of contemporary newspaper comic strips whether it be the humorous stories like Nancy and Sluggo, strange jokes from Smokey Stover or the crime-fighting adventures of Dick Tracy. Written by Kenneth Chisholm
This was really an odd experiment in that the makers of The Archie cartoon show had a winning formula and then changed it for the worse. On this show, Archie, Betty, Veronica, Reggie and Jughead were the hosts of a TV station and introduced various cartoon shorts (usually about 3-5 minutes long) featuring other comic strip characters like Dick Tracy, Nancy and Sluggo, Broom Hilda, etc. There were no cartoon segments of Archie and the gang themselves except for when they went from one segment to another. The show wasn't that bad but it was a disappointment for the fans of Archie who tuned in to watch him and the gang. Thankfully, the show changed formats again the following season and focused more on Archie and the gang.
