The U.S. of Archie
Debut: September 07, 1974
Ended: December 21, 1974

The Archie Students of Riverdale High School re-enact famous events from American history. These re-enactments were termed by Archie during the show to be historical accounts featuring the "ancestors" of the current Archie gang; surprisingly, these ancestors were nearly identical to Archie et al. and were seemingly close friends of famous people in several eras of American history. The songs at the end of every episode covered that particular episode's topic. Jackie Mills, a Hollywood producer, produced all of the music for U.S. of Archie. Jackie had also produced Bobby Sherman and the Brady Bunch Kids. The lead singer on U.S. of Archie was Tom McKenzie, who earlier appeared on some of the Groovie Goolies's songs. Tom was a member of the Doodletown Pipers singing group, which also included future Side Effect member Augie Johnson, Oren Waters, Mic "Michele" Bell, Teresa Graves, and Dean Chapman. Due to its educational agenda, the show lacked the music and comedy elements that had made the other Archie cartoons so successful. After spending its first four months on Saturday mornings, it was moved to the less-popular Sunday morning schedule in January 1975, where it remained in repeats until September 1976.
