![]() I have yet to see The U.S of Archie on DVD, but has been on VHS. Some series never made it to (official) DVD either. They were the TV equivalent of the digests. On top of that, the cartoons recycled old episodes. A lot of the cartoons were sourced from PAL, and since so many of these cartoons went into syndication, some of the episodes are possibly missing. You can buy a majority of these cartoons on DVD, but I consider them to be incomplete. The show ended in 1978, effectively ending the 10 year Archie/Filmation partnership. ![]() The show originally went for an hour, but due to low ratings it was split into two shows: Archie's Bang-Shang Lalapalooza Show and Sabrina, Super Witch. Lasting 13 episodes, the series featured old cartoons and new ones that mainly focused on Sabrina. The New Archie/Sabrina Hour (1977): This is the last in the line of Filmation Archie shows. The cartoons feature ancestors of the gang (who all look like their modern counterparts and they were all friends! How super convenient!) It ran for 16 episodes, but wasn't a hit. of Archie (1974): Archie and the gang are learning about important American moments. The Groovy Goolies had a spinoff movie in 1972 where they meet Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. There was even a live action band that toured playing the music from the show. The show was expensive to make, and tried to replicate the success of the original Archie show. Sabrina And The Groovy G00lies (1970): Sabrina's first solo TV show! The show ran for 16 episodes and involved Sabrina involved a band of monsters. There's more music, but a lot of the cartoons are repeats of previous Archie cartoons. In this series, Archie appears on stage in front of a live action audience made up of kids, and introduces cartoons via his jukebox. Sabrina was included due to Lou Scheimer wanting to do an animated Bewitched series, until it was pointed out to him that Sabrina could easily be incorporated into the Archie world, and she predates Bewitched by two years!Īrchie's Funhouse (1970): This show expanded on a feature in the previous series ("The Funhouse"). Each episode was one hour and contained two Sabrina segments. The Archie Comedy Hour (1969): This was a spinoff of Archie And His New Pals. The special was a means to introduce Sabrina into the cartoon universe. There was even an Archie's band that toured, playing music from the show.Īrchie And His New Pals (1969): A TV special which came out shortly after The Archie Show ended. "Sugar, Sugar" was a #1 hit on Billboard in 1969, a very impressive feat for a cartoon show. To go along with the idea of the band, there was a real life band called The Archie's that provided the music for the show. ![]() The show revolved around The Archie's, the fictional band lead by Archie himself. Cartoon shows up until the mid 1980's would mimic this because of The Archie Show. The show lasted only 17 episodes, but it was the first of it's kind to include a laugh track. The Archie Show (1968): The first time Archie and his pals appeared on TV. Archie's Filmation career began on Septemwith… ![]() Filmation must have thought the same thing, and were the most successful at creating an extensive world of Archie cartoons. In my honest opinion, classic Archie works best as a Saturday Morning Cartoon.
