Hello, friends from Toon Zone, Yesterdaylanders, Memory Laners and Retrolanders from Latin America and the rest of the world!

I have some news, mainly to the elderest fans from Latin America.
Boomerang Latin America (http://www.boomerangla.com/portuguese, http://www.boomerangla.com/spanish or http://www.boomerangla.com/english) will broadcast The Archie Show in September.
Produced by Filmation (http://www.louscheimer.com) in association with Archie Comics (http://www.archiecomics.com) in 1968, Archie Show is the version for TV from the comics of the adventures of Archie, Jughead, Reggie, Betty and Veronica, students from the Riverdale High School, who are members of a rock'n'roll band. They're the 60s teenies, with their aspirations and life styles. This cartoon series was produced to confront the supehero genre (which it was en vogue on that occasion). It was a smash hit, and generated a variety of spin-offs, as: The Archie-Sabrina Show (1969), The Archie's Funhouse (1970), Archie's TV Funnies (1971), Everything's Archie (1973), The US of Archie (1974) and The Archie and Sabrina Surprise Package (1977).
And now, to refresh your minds, here are the lyrics from the theme song of the overture from The Archie Show:

Everything's Archie!

Archie's here,
Betty's here,
Veronica's too!
Reggie's here...
Hey, Jughead, where are you?

We gonna dance, and we gonna sing,
Have some fun and go adventuring,
All our friends are here, but it ain't complete.
We ain't the Archies, without the Jughead beat!

Whoa-oh-oh, Archie's here,
Betty's here,
Veronica's too!
Reggie's here...
And here comes Jughead...and Hot Dog, too!

So everything's Archie!
Come on, let's go with The Archie Show!

I've found on YouTube (http://youtube.com), the Archie Show overture, which brings the respective theme song (whose lyrics are included above). The clip is on the following link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=CqEfFI9bT-I.
Enjoy to remember this animated pearl from Filmation.
Well, that's it!
Ciao!

A very rare pearl, indeed. I had a few of the Archies albums when I was growing up, and I can still hear one or two of the songs playing in the back of my head.

I thought Boomerang in Latin America was full of live action, toddler shows and newer cartoons like Winx Club, I wonder if it will work.
Boomerang LA is like Nickelodeon over there, so it will look and sound dated to those kids.

Uncle Lina,

The Archie Show will be rescued by Boomerang Latin America (http://www.boomerangla.com/portuguese, http://www.boomerangla.com/spanish or http://www.boomerangla.com/english) in September, on the late night schedule, which's totally aimed to the classic cartoons.
This will serve to refresh your mind.
Well, that's it!
Bye-bye!

Everything's Archie!

Archie's here,
Betty's here,
Veronica's too!
Reggie's here...

Hey, Jughead, where are you?
We gonna dance,
We gonna sing,
Have some fun and adventure,
All the freinds are here, but incomplete.
We're the Archies,
without Jughead here...

Ooh, Archie's here,
Betty's here,
Veronica's too!
Reggie's here...

And here comes Jughead...and Hot Dog, too!
But everything's Archie!

The moment's on, in The Archie Show!

Nice to hear that! But I'm afraid you screwed up a few lines! Here's how it really goes:


Everything's Archie!

Archie's here,
Betty's here,
Veronica, too!
Reggie's here...
Hey, Jughead, where are you?

We wanna dance, and we wanna sing,
Have some fun and go adventuring,
All our friends are here, but it ain't complete.
We ain't The Archies, without The Jughead Beat!

Whoa-oh-oh, Archie's here,
Betty's here,
Veronica, too!
Reggie's here...
And here comes Jughead...and Hot Dog, too!

So everything's Archie!
C'mon, let's go with The Archie Show!

By the way Jeff Barry composed that.

And Boomerang Latin America had the original He-Man too years ago (or was that Spain/Europe). It seems you all get all the good stuff, and it is a more full "coming back to you" experience!

I have to say, Latin America has no idea how lucky they are. I've always wanted The Archie Show (and maybe the other spinoffs) to air on Boomerang US...
I'm happy for them!:)
