List RulesVote up your favorite television shows in the Archie Comics franchise.
Since the first-ever Archie Comics TV series debuted in 1968 based off the Archie Comics series that hit newsstands in 1942, generations of audiences have tuned in to every episode of every new iteration that comes along. While the amount of Archie ComicsTV shows may seem overwhelming and endless considering the decades these shows have been on the air, the fact is that each new entry in the series is unique and they all update everyone's favorite high school ginger - and his pals - with the times. Some may argue that there's nothing quite like the original The Archie Show series, and others can gladly fight that there is nothing in the Archie universe worth watching except Riverdale. But that's what makes the Archie Comics shows endlessly fun to debate about and just plain entertaining to watch. Each new version of Archie and his friends has something for everyone.
