Oh lord the memories, youtube just keeps on giving me back wonderful pieces of my childhood.

I wasn't familiar either on Emmy Lou and the Drop-Outs. Was it me or did Sluggo sound like a 60 year old man with a 5 pack a day habit?

BroomHilda here was much funnier and more faithful compared to the later incarnation on Filmation's other comic strip show "The Fabulous Funnies" on NBC. Dick Tracy rocked on this show!

Here come the Dropouts! LOL

As Smokey Stover would say, FOO!

Archie's friends look like the people who monitor the public TV cameras that have appeared all over the place in the last decade. Look out, big Archie is watching you.

This show's never screened in New Zealand. I'm not familiar with any of these guest cartoons except Dick Tracey.

This was the 4th ARCHIE cartoon series,since its CBS debut in 1968. it was

certainly unique,since Filmation Associates not only got The Archie Comic Co

rights,but also secured the rights from most of the major Sunday comic pubs-

putting Filmation,as the first studio that did its shows from several major comic

book companies(DC Comics,Archie Pubs,etc)-not to mention,that this was Eight

years before they did "THE FABULOUS FUNNIES" for NBC in 1978

@multivox I grew up in the Bronx and had no idea some of these comic strips existed. Then my family visited friends on Long Island and I saw their local newspaper comics. They had stuff like "Little Iodine" and other strange (to me) comic strips. It was like being on another planet.

cool stuff and innocent

Loved "TV Funnies"...very good "Dick Tracy" episodes and "Smokey Stover" was cool.

The later "Fabulous Funnies" in 1978 revived "The Captain and The Kids", "Broom Hilda," "Emmy Lou", "Nancy and Sluggo" in new stories with new voice actors June Foray, Bob Holt, Alan Oppenheimer, and Jayne Hamill and added "Alley Oop" and "Tumbleweeds" (for one episode only...in which permission was never granted by the newspaper syndicate for use in the series until after that episode was broadcast).

Funny how most of these comic strip characters were already passé even then.

What a theme song....just keep increasing the basic riff chromatically.
