The high-school high jinks of Bob Montana's comic-strip characters played out in this cartoon, the first of many adaptations. The Riverdale gang aired nearly continuously on CBS (under five other titles including 'The U.S. of Archie') until 1976. In 1977, they took up residence on NBC as part of the 'New Archie Sabrina Hour,' which begat the brief 'The Bang-Shang Lalapalooza Show.' They resurfaced on NBC as preteens in 1987's 'The New Archies', and then as adults in a live-action 1990 TV-movie.
