Reviewsbylola We were obsessed with Archie comics as kids. 😍 I‘ve never bothered watching Riverdale though. 6y

kylienoele The show is one of my guilty pleasures 😂😂 6y

PenguinInFlight I have no idea why they even bothered “basing” in on the Archie comics. As far as I could see, the names were about the only thing that stayed the same. 6y

PenguinInFlight @kylienoele I binged watched the first season in a kind of “This is a train wreck, I can‘t look away” type way 😂 (Yes I want to keep watching, stop judging me Netflix!) and I liked it...but I couldn‘t find much of Archie in it. 6y

Melissa_J I can‘t watch Riverdale it‘s so different from the Archie of my youth ☹️ 6y

kylienoele @PenguinInFlight That was my same thought 😂 It can be so cringe-y but I couldn't stop! The music is good at least! 🤷🏼‍♀️ 6y

Lova I‘m glad I read these posts... I was considering watching it since I loved Archie comics as a kid too but now I think I‘ll pass 6y

hermyknee I never read Archie as a kid (or ever), but I got the gist of what it was about. I loved Riverdale! I‘m a sucker for a good teen drama and a good Netflix binge 6y

PenguinInFlight @kylienoele I HAD to know what happened! I haven‘t watched the new season(s)? yet, but I plan to when I‘m home for 4-6 weeks recovering from surgery at the end of next month. I did like the music a lot. 6y

emilyhaldi Yes, I loooooved Archie comics! I remember always debating myself over who I liked more, Betty or Veronica 🤔 Too bad the show isn‘t like the books 😕 6y

Christine11 I‘ve never read comics at all but I find Riverdale bizarrely addictive ! It‘s so, so ridiculous and melodramatic but I sort of can‘t stop watching the craziness 🤣 6y

Mdargusch Haha! I felt the same way! 6y

SunsetConductor I can‘t bring myself to watch Riverdale... I‘m so scared about what they did to these characters I grew up with! 6y

Cinfhen It‘s funny because my 16 yr old couldn‘t get past the fact that Jughead is being played by Cole Sprouse from Zach & Cody @Reviewsbylola @kylienoele @PenguinInFlight @Melissa_J @Lova @hermyknee @emilyhaldi @Christine11 @Mdargusch @SunsetConductor 6y

Laura317 I watch it with my daughter. She gets so tired of me saying, “that‘s not how it goes!” 6y

raelaschoenherr No way I‘m watching this!! I was annoyed they took the comics and apparently completely changed them. 6y

Meredith3 Love Archie and Riverdale! Have you seen Archie return to Riverdale the movie?? 6y

Cinfhen No!!!! @Meredith3 is it good? Is it closer to the comic books...not so dark 6y

Cinfhen Ha! My kids HATE when I do that @Laura317 ...I only saw one episode @raelaschoenherr and I was speechless 😖🤯 6y

Meredith3 @Cinfhen I love how the show is dark! 😹 The movie is waaaay different from the show, but I still enjoyed it. They're all grown up and going back for their high school reunion- it's fun! 6y

mrp27 I was addicted to Archie comics! 6y

Bklover My 17 year old had the same reaction to Cole Sprouse ! I loved the Archies comics- and do you remember the Saturday morning cartoon? The Archies, Josie and the Pussycats, and Scooby Doo - Saturday morning bliss!!! (edited) 6y

Sarah93 Is this show based on this comic?? 6y

Cinfhen It‘s meant to be @Sarah93 🙄the movie sounds so fun @Meredith3 have u seen it @mrp27 @Bklover ????and yes, that was such a grand slam lineup on Saturday mornings!!!! 6y

mrp27 Never seeing the movie, watched the first season of Riverdale and the teenage mellow drama hooked me, I had my fill so I did not continue on to season 2. Not much like the comics but that didn't bother me. Oh yeah @Bklover that was my Saturday morning line up! 6y

Bklover @Cinfhen @mrp27 https://youtu.be/h9nE2spOw_o. Remember this? 6y

Cinfhen That‘s a sweet blast from the past @Bklover but why do I associate that song with Davey Jones?!? 😜 6y

Bklover You know it‘s funny- I remember reading that Len Whiting actually sang that song- he played Romeo in that old version of Romeo and Juliet - the one with Olivia Hussey as Juliet. I have no idea why I remember that. I can‘t remember last Tuesday! And I loved Davy Jones- spent a ridiculous amount of time worrying that he was too short for me. 😂 6y

mrp27 @Bklover That was a nice walk down memory lane!! 6y

Cinfhen Hahahaha @Bklover Davey Jones was really short!!!!! 6y
