Everything's Archie....


Title: ARCHIE: RETURN TO RIVERDALE (1990)
(Alternate Title: Archie- To Riverdale and Back Again)

Manufacturer:  New Concorde Home Video

Date: 1997

Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again (released on video as Archie: Return to Riverdale in the United States and Archie's Weekend Reunion in Australia) was a live-action television movie based on comic book characters published by Archie Comics. It was produced by DiC and premiered on NBC Sunday Night at the Movies in 1990.
The concept behind the movie was to combine the long-standing familiarity of Archie and the gang from the comics with adult issues. In this sense, it can be seen as being similar to other "updates" of family-friendly concepts for television such as The Bradys.





Title: JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS

Manufacturer:  Universal Home Video

Date: 2001

One of my favorite films based upon a comic book property, simply because it's loads of fun and incredibly witty...

When released on VHS and DVD on November 20, 2001, a "Family-Friendly" PG-rated version was released as well: this version omitted a great deal of the profanity and sexual references.
