Martin Mystery since I actually knew it existed when it first started playing in the states.
Seriously though, I've only seen Archie's Weird Mysteries once or twice, but it's a good show. However, Martin Mystery, while cheesy, definitely has more than enough awesome moments in my book.

That they are.

I remember trying my hardest to catch a rerun on the Death Slot they put it on, and then I think they just stopped showing it. Sigh... Anyone know if there's a DVD?
Sometimes life just sucks. You have to learn to take the good with the bad. Why should you expect anything different in the mediums?Archie's Weird Mysteries didn't last long, right? Shame; I was very interested in it and diligently watched it while it aired over here.
Martin Mystery is so lulzy. Same guys who did Totally Spies.
I liked Archie's Weird Mysteries. Martin Mystery annoyed me to no end. Shame about Archie though, Riverdale really deserves it's own T.V. series.
When All Else Fails, you have fun and flirt wit da ladies, dats da Drawings way!The Archie direct-to-tv Movie/OVA was horrible IMO. The one with the prehistoric Jughead.
^Would you ship Martin/Alex? I found it a bit odd when they teased it.
Long live Cinematech. FC:0259-0435-4987Martin Mystery, because Marathon made it, and they make me smile.
I enjoyed the Martin / Alex tease, but honestly, I'm much more in favor of Alex / me.

"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.What's interesting about Martin Mystery (to me) is that he apparently lives in Sherbrooke. Which I think is fairly close to where I live.
Archie, because, well, he's Archie.
I'll admit, it was probably the best Archie show out there. Although, considering the other two, that might not be much of a compliment.
The other two being The New Archies and some poorly-animated show with a laugh track.
Archie's Weird Mysteries because...well...we have the Archie characters actually fighting monsters!
I love animation, TV, movies, YOU NAME IT!Some poorly animated show with a laugh track? You mean the old Filmation Archie Show?
They gave us "Sugar, Sugar," and since I actually enjoy that, they're good in my book.
But on topic... Martin Mystery I have actually seen. I enjoyed it back when it was on. I didn't find it cheesy. They had some pretty interesting stories. The Archie show... Never seen it at all. So Martin Mystery wins.
"They say I'm old fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast."Good music does not make a show automatically good.
Besides, "Jingle Jangle" is better anyway
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.Well, I did say "good in my book." That doesn't mean it's good quality...
"They say I'm old fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast."Fay 'nuff.
(But "Jingle Jangle" is still better than "Sugar Sugar".)
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.I believe Archies Weird Mysteries gave us Vampire Veronica vs Betty.
Winner, Archie.
Martin Mystery did blindside me with that Totally Spies crossover though, cause I totally forgot they were by the same group, and there was never any evidence they didn't take place in the same world.
Plus, he was oddly a lot more competent on his own.

One Strip! One Strip!I remember liking and watching both as a kid, can't say I can pick a favourite.
I absolutely loved Martin Mystery when I was younger.
Briefly read Archie's Weird Mysteries but I dropped it for reasons I could not remember
These shows tell about the titular character and his friends dealing with supernatural activity on their normal lives.
For me, I like Archies Weird Mysteries because it brings memories to me since I watched it before as a kid.
