====Animation==== In 1968, [[CBS]] began airing episodes of ''[[The Archie Show]]'', a cartoon series produced by [[Filmation]]. Although it lasted only for a single season, it aired in reruns for the next decade, and was followed by several spin-off programs, which used segments from this original Archie show and new material. In 1970, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch got [[Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1970 TV series)|her own animated series]], also produced by Filmation. In 1970, another Archie property received the [[Saturday morning cartoon]] treatment: [[Josie and the Pussycats (TV series)|''Josie and the Pussycats'']]. Unlike Archie and Sabrina, Josie's show was produced by [[Hanna-Barbera Productions]], the company behind such animated hits as ''[[Yogi Bear]]'', ''[[The Flintstones]]'', ''[[The Jetsons]]'', and [[Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!|''Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?'']]. The show was followed by a spin-off, ''Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space,'' in 1972. ''The Archie Show'', ''Sabrina the Teenage Witch'', ''Josie and the Pussycats'', and several of the spin-off shows including ''Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space'' are currently available on DVD in complete-series boxed sets. In 1974, Filmation produced ''[[The U.S. of Archie]]'', in which the gang recreated several events from American history, which lasted 16 episodes. In 1987, [[DIC Entertainment]] produced an NBC [[Saturday morning cartoon]], ''[[The New Archies]]''. This children's television cartoon re-imagined the teenage students of Riverdale High School as pre-teens in junior high. Fourteen episodes of the show were produced, which aired during the show's only season in 1987 and were repeated in 1989. A short-lived Archie Comics series was produced bearing the same title and set in the same universe as the animated series. Reruns of the series ran on The Family Channel's Saturday morning lineup from 1991 to 1993, and on Toon Disney from 1998 to 2002. The cast was basically the same, but Dilton Doiley was replaced as the "intellectual" character by an African American named Eugene. Eugene's girlfriend Amani was another addition to the cast. Archie also gained a dog named Red. In 1999, another animated program featuring Archie and his friends was produced by DIC Entertainment. ''[[Archie's Weird Mysteries]]'' featured core Archie characters solving mysteries occurring in their hometown of Riverdale. The show ran on the PAX network for only a single 40-episode season, and continues to air sporadically in reruns on various other networks. The complete series was released on DVD in 2012. As a companion to the Archie series, DIC also produced ''[[Sabrina: The Animated Series]]'', ''[[Sabrina's Secret Life]]'' and ''[[Sabrina: Friends Forever]]''; the cartoons featured Sabrina and her aunts at a younger age than they were in the comic books. Tie-in comic book titles were produced for all of these series. In 2012, it was announced that [[MoonScoop]] would produce a new Sabrina the Teenage Witch series titled ''[[Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch]]''. It ran for a single 26-episode season on [[Hub Network]] from October 2013 until June 2014. In 2013, MoonScoop announced that it would produce a new Archie animated series titled ''It's Archie'', featuring Archie and friends in junior high.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.cbr.com/its-archie-cartoon-sends-riverdales-gang-back-to-junior-high/|title="It's Archie" Cartoon Sends Riverdale's Gang Back to Junior High|work=[[Comic Book Resources]]|date=July 30, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbr.com/exclusive-behind-the-scenes-of-animated-its-archie-with-jon-goldwater/|title=EXCLUSIVE: Behind The Scenes Of Animated "It's Archie" With Jon Goldwater|work=[[Comic Book Resources]]|author=Kiel Phegley|date=August 27, 2013}}</ref> The first season was set to feature 52 11-minute episodes,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/its-archie-or-is-it-86836.html|title="It's Archie"...
