History WesternAnimation / TheArchieShow

* AnAesop:
** At least one of the "Giant Jukebox hits" from Archie's Fun House:
--->"We're one big family / And our Daddy's in the sky / We're one big family / Don't you make your brother cry..."
** GreenAesop:
--->"Mr. Factory / Don't you care / Soon the children won't have any air..."

* ''The New Archies'', featuring the characters in middle school. Produced by Creator/DicEntertainment.

* TheArtifact: The voices are inspired by the 1940s-1950s ''Radio/TheAdventuresOfArchieAndrews'' radio show. Alas, CharacterizationMarchesOn has occured and the voices don't match the characters. Most glaringly, New Yorker Veronica sounds like a SouthernBelle.

* GretzkyHasTheBall: In one short, Betty roots for Mr. Lodge to "Hit a home run," while playing ''golf.''
* LaughTrack: Was the first-ever SaturdayMorningCartoon to utilize one; laugh tracks for Saturday Morning soon became standard practice afterwards till 1983.

One element in the TV series not previously featured in the comics was that Archie led a bubble gum rock quintet: He and Reggie were guitarists, Betty was the tambourinist, Veronica was the keyboardist, Jughead was the drummer and Hot Dog, Jughead's canine pet, was the conductor. The Archies released several singles and albums; one of their songs, "Sugar Sugar", was a major hit.

* ''WesternAnimation/JosieAndThePussyCats'', which centered on the titular band travelling the world and solving mysteries, using the Franchise/ScoobyDoo formula. This was the only Archie Comics cartoon of the era not produced by Filmation, instead being produced by Creator/HannaBarbera.

* SecondaryAdaptation: The original medium is the ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'' which began in TheForties. They were quickly adapted into a radio series, called ''Radio/TheAdventuresOfArchieAndrews''. Those were adapted into a cartoon series, where {{Creator/Filmation}} even [[TheOtherDarrin emulated]] the radio voices, which is why Veronica has a Southern accent despite being [[UnexplainedAccent from the Northeast]].

* ''The New Archie-Sabrina Hour'', which was a revival of sorts after years of reruns. Was later split into two separate shows ''Bang Shang Lalapalooza'' and ''Super Witch''). before becoming recombined into a single half-hour syndicated version.

* FiveManBand: If not the UrExample, then definitely an inspiration for the trope as we know it.

* AdaptedOut: Strangely, despite her boyfriend Big Moose Mason appearing in most of these shows, it seems that Midge Klump doesn’t exist in any of them except ''Weird Mysteries.''

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBradyKids'', a recycled version of ''WesternAnimation/TheArchieShow'' but featured the Brady siblings from ''Series/TheBradyBunch'' in place of Archie and his friends (Greg and Peter were guitarists, Marcia was the tambourinist, Jan was the keyboardist, Bob was the drummer and Moptop, the Brady siblings' canine pet, can really howl).
