The New Archies
The New Archies is a kids' TV show based on the long-running Archie comic books and characters. The NBC show, which was made by DIC Entertainment, re-imagined Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Jughead Jones, Reggie Mantle, and the other high school students as younger kids in junior high. Fourteen episodes of the show were made, and all of them were shown during the show's one and only season in 1987, and then again in 1989. The same name was given to a short-lived Archie Comics series that took place in the same world as the animated series. From 1991 to 1993, reruns of the show were shown on Saturday mornings on The Family Channel. From 1998 to 2002, they were shown on Toon Disney. Veronica talks like a valley girl in this show. But she had a southern accent in old animated cartoons and the radio show. Eugene, an African American, took the place of Dilton Doiley as the "intellectual" character. Amani, who is Eugene's girlfriend, was also added to the cast. Archie got a dog named Red.
