 Archie Andrews was a direct spin-off of the popular teenage
comic strip created by Bob Montana. Radio was successful with
many comic characters, so putting another popular comic "on
radio" was a natural. This show was one of the first wanting
to win a teenage audience by doing a situation comedy show completely
for them, and with them in the audience at the broadcasts.

Blondie was a flapper, and
Dagwood was a racoon-coated collegiate back in the roaring 20's,
but Archie and his pals continued success was very much an outgrowth
of the post WWII baby boom. It was the
classic American suburban kid with his pals, at home and especially,
at school. All the well-known characters of the comic book are
here in the radio adventures: Archie, his best pal, Jughead,
Veronica, nemesis Reggie, and Betty - who is in and out of love
with Archie, almost on a daily basis. Of course, Archie's parents
are on the scene, and we can't forget dreaded Mr. Weatherbee,
Archie's High School Principal.The show was done "before a live audience" as they
say in today's sit-coms, and the teenagers who thronged the show
were excited and boisterous, to say the least. The kids still
love Archie Comics, and Archie and all his friends are still
going strong after all these years
