The New Archies is a children's television cartoon, based upon the Archie comic books and characters. The series, produced by DIC Entertainment and originally airing on NBC, re-imagined Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Jughead Jones, Reggie Mantle, and the other teenage students of Riverdale High School as pre-teens in junior high. Fourteen episodes of the show were produced, which all aired during the show's first and only season in 1987 and were repeated in 1989.
