The New Archies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Archies was a children's television cartoon, based upon the long-running Archie comic books and characters. The series, produced by DiC Entertainment, and originally airing on NBC, reimagined Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Jughead Jones, and the other teenage students of Riverdale High School as pre-teenage juniors. Thirteen episodes of the show were produced, which all aired during the show's first season in 1987 - 1988 and were repeated in 1988 - 1989. A short-lived Archie Comics series was produced bearing the same title and set in the same canon as the animated series. Reruns of the series ran on The Family Channel's Saturday morning lineup, from 1991-c. 1993 and on Toon Disney from 1998 until September 2, 2002.
In this series Veronica speaks like a valley girl. However, in the original comics she had a southern accent.
