| 2 | This Creator/{{Filmation}} series on Creator/{{CBS}} was an early successor series to ''WesternAnimation/TheArchieShow''. As a FramingDevice, Archie and his friends worked at a Riverdale television station. The real purpose of the program, however, was to showcase these animated adaptations of newspaper comic strips: |
| 3 | * ''ComicStrip/BroomHilda'' |
| 4 | * ''The Captain and the Kids'' (based on ''ComicStrip/TheKatzenjammerKids'') |
| 5 | * ''ComicStrip/DickTracy'' |
| 6 | * ''The Dropouts'' |
| 7 | * ''Emmy Lou'' |
| 8 | * ''Moon Mullins'' |
| 9 | * ''ComicStrip/{{Nancy}} (and Sluggo)'' |
| 10 | * ''Smokey Stover'' |
| 11 | |
| 12 | ''The Fabulous Funnies'', also produced by Filmation in 1978, was a later series on Creator/{{NBC}} with a similar concept with nearly all the strips featured from TV Funnies, (all except for Dick Tracy, The Dropouts, Moon Mullins, and Smokey Stover) and included Alley Oop and Tumbleweeds . For its FramingDevice, Foozy of ComicStrip/AlleyOop acted as host introducing the various segments. |

| 14 | !!In addition to the tropes found in the source material, this series provides examples of: |
| 15 | * AnimatedAnthology |
| 16 | * SecondaryAdaptation: This cartoon is a {{Spinoff}} of ''WesternAnimation/TheArchieShow'', using the same characters to provide a FramingDevice to air adaptations of other ComicStrip stories. ''The Archie Show'' is based (in part) on a radio series, called ''Radio/TheAdventuresOfArchieAndrews'', which itself is based on the ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'' which began in TheForties. |
| 17 | * TruerToTheText: The ''ComicStrip/DickTracy'' segments are much more faithful to the original comic strip than ''WesternAnimation/TheDickTracyShow'' |
