It was so much better than "the Dick Tracy Show." At least in this one, Dick Tracy does stuff. On the Dick Tracy Show, all he does is give the assignment, and then show up afterwards to congratulate the agent on a job well done.
Lo veía cuando niño... Pasaron casi 50 años que no veía esta intro, no hablemos de ver capítulos enteros. Nací en 1967, así que genial!!... ¡Qué recuerdos!... 😔🥺😪🙂😛👍🏻👏🏻📽️🎞️📺🇨🇱
This cool show is the earliest recollection of Archie that I have. I was about 4-5 years old when the show was on back around 1970. It wouldn't be until about 6 years later that I would become the huge fan of the Archies that I am now. I remember at the time that Archie scared me just a little, even though he's imaginary, because, being a teenager, he and the gang were kind of like "big kids" to me. I really didn't like Reggie-he scared me-because to me, he was always "The Mean One".
farnumbp The trick of time and it is a dirty trick - this was NOT too long ago. When galaxies are 10000000000 of years ago what 42 years in our lives? NOTHING!
No raposfan this is the full complete version of the theme music. I saw this program when it first came out too, and sometimes its opening would be shortened beginning with the just the vocal track. Remember this was in the pre-cable network days when stations wanted as much time for commercials as possible.
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).
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!
😄I remember watching as a kid & thinking the exact same thing about Sluggo!😆 And is my memory faulty or did EmmyLou sound like she had a BAD headcold?!☺️

Yes and these Dick Tracy episodes were SO much better than those horrid The Dick Tracy Show episodes. Sadly I haven't found any thing that shows them by themselves and who even known most of the comic strip characters in this clip?
Amen about Dick Tracy's episodes here! "The Dick Tracy Show" is funny, but klutzy & corny - Dick doesn't do a thing. Here, Dick really gets the job done. Plus, in one episode, Dick chooses between catching crooks & saving people's lives - he chooses to save the lives first, and gets the crooks. In another episode he taught kids that smoking's not good for you.
i wish they would put the Dick Tracy episode on DVD, i think everette sloan played him in it like he did the other animated series, but this has all the better characters. I hope that they put it on DVD soon, or someone puts it on youtube for everyone to watch, instead of paying almost 50 bucks for the vhs
Francis C, I remember this show having a different theme song too. I'm NOT confusing it with other Archie-related programs. I remember watching it in the late 70s. So, the best theory I can come up with is, the show was given a different theme for syndication.
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.
Many Dick Tracy supporting characters appeared in "Archie's TV Funnies" such as Sam Catchum, Chief Pat Patton, Tess Trueheart (working as part of Dick Tracy's unit), Junior, Moonmaid, Gravel Gertie and B.O. Plenty, and Diet Smith. They did not appear in the UPA cartoons. The crooks Dick Tracy faced in each of the 16 "Archie's TV Funnies" episodes: Pruneface, Flattop, Shaky, The Brow, BB Eyes, Breathless Mahoney, Big Boy, Shoulders, The Mole, Big Mama and Roger Trohs (aka The Midget), Stooge Viller, Sketch Paree, Pearshape, 88 Keyes, Mumbles, and Purdy Feller. The Dick Tracy bad guys appearing the UPA cartoons were usually paired up as partners in each cartoon: Pruneface and Itchy, Flattop and BB Eyes, The Brow and Oodles, Sketch Paree and The Mole, and Stooge Viller and Mumbles. One solo bad guy Cheater Gunsmoke (a villain hidden in a cloud of smoke) was not a Chester Gould creation.
If they produced a show like this today, it would feature current comic strip favorites such as Calvin & Hobbes (despite Bill Watterson´s reluctance to have his character animated or menchandized, we always can dream, can´t we?), Mutts, Liò, Fox Trot, Zits, Get Fuzzy, Piranha Club, etc.
It's kind of painfully obvious that they were really scraping the bottom of the barrel for comic strips (Since other companies had dibs on Popeye, Charlie Brown, et al.)
The Dick Tracy adventures were the best part of this series.

Yo nací en el 1968 y esto era parte de mis fines de semana. Si mal no recuerdo, en Puerto Rico se transmitían sábados en la tarde.
These were good shows.They were very faithful to their print counterparts.
I watched this in the 1970's when saturday morning cartoons were fun
Wow!!! I been wanting to listen to this Archie theme for many years. Brings me beautiful memories of my childhood. Those were the good days. 😊
I watched this when it first aired. I love the Dick Tracy segments the best. And Moon Mullins was okay. Great memories .

This popped up in my head so I went to find it.....& here it is......42 years later.
Same thing happened to me. When did we get old ? :(

Really awesome continuation of the series. I only have one of the VHS tapes. LOVE the theme music!

Remember this was in the pre-cable network days when stations wanted as much time for commercials as possible.
Their version of Dick Tracy was FAR better than the awful UPA cartoon of the 60s... and more faithful to the comic!
These were the true classics.
Meet Hans and Fritz Katzenjammer.
This was Moon Mullins' only appearance in the medium of animation.
I need this show for my Archie Collection.

This show only ran one season. The theme song you are probably thinking of is the original Everything's Archie theme from 1968. This is from 1971.
Sure sounds like they were playing on this sound when they made that bit for SNL although it's clearly a parody.
I believe all of the characters on this show were owned by King Features at this point, which explains the weird selection of characters.
It is a shame that the bad version (The Dick Tracy Show) is so much easier to get than the good version (Archie's Dick Tracy)
i was wrong, it's john erwin who plays tracy, I was thinking of the crossover between him and Mr. Magoo
The guitar scratching is 2sweet
This guy scratching that giturne is a beast!!!!
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!
😄I remember watching as a kid & thinking the exact same thing about Sluggo!😆
And is my memory faulty or did EmmyLou sound like she had a BAD headcold?!☺️
Nope. As per the credits:
Archie Comics: "Archie"
Chicago Tribune-New York News: "Dick Tracy"
United Features: "Captain and the Kids," "Emmy Lou," "The Dropouts," "Nancy"
Chicago Tribune: "Broom Hilda," "Moon Mullins"
New York News Inc.: "Smokey Stover"
Man this brings back memories! Not sure if they are good or bad.;)
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
Yes and these Dick Tracy episodes were SO much better than those horrid The Dick Tracy Show episodes. Sadly I haven't found any thing that shows them by themselves and who even known most of the comic strip characters in this clip?
They should've made it a regular series. I never liked those poorly animated U.P.A. cartoons.
Amen about Dick Tracy's episodes here! "The Dick Tracy Show" is funny, but klutzy & corny - Dick doesn't do a thing. Here, Dick really gets the job done.

I found this so strange back then I always watched it. It was like someone was cracked when they put this together. It was just strange.
As Smokey Stover would say, FOO!
I meant besides Archie, but I was still wrong. :)
Thanks for that info. Still one oddball group of characters, though.
"And Brujilda", jajajaja
Francis C, I remember this show having a different theme song too. I'm NOT confusing it with other Archie-related programs. I remember watching it in the late 70s. So, the best theory I can come up with is, the show was given a different theme for syndication.
How many episdoe were there actually in this cartoon? 16 episodes?

Mean Old Reggie included.
Whatever happened to Saturday morning cartoons
i like this dick tracy cartoon better than the 1960's can you please pose the archie dick tracy cartoon i like it than the upa one
I like Archies Fun house intro better
No Popo Comics?
DUDE SCRATCHING THAT GUITARN LIKE JAMES BROWN,S LEAD PLAYER ON"SAY IT LOUD IM BLK AND IN IM PROUD AND JOE PERRY ON WALK THIS WAY
Watched this as a child. However, today, now that I think about it, they jumped the shark with this one. And no, I did not watch US of Archie, either.
I wonder if this is where the theme to "TV Funhouse" came from.

It's kind of painfully obvious that they were really scraping the bottom of the barrel for comic strips (Since other companies had dibs on Popeye, Charlie Brown, et al.)
A Dick Tracy show would have been much better. Those other characters were so dated -- complete cornball.
