Whew...


I grew up reading Archie Comics since I was a kid in the 60s and 70s and loved them like crazy. I wasn't too impressed with the cartoon series, but I watched it, i liked the music. I also remember some live version on TV, but vaguely, maybe one episode aired. I was skeptical about a CW version, but I went in with an open mind. I have to say I really liked it way more than I thought I would. Whew, childhood intact, at least so far. Mind still open.

Did you see that horrible Return to Riverdale or something like that in the very early 90s? It was a TV movie. Pure awful cheese. Lauren Holly played Betty and Christopher Rich from Reba played Archie,

That TV movie was pure trash. As a long time fan of the old school Archie comics, I, too, was skeptical. But this premiere won me over. Really liked it.

Agreed! I was intrigued by the previews, because while I love the corny comics, corny doesn't work well in teen drama on tv. At least I don't care for that. So far loving it
