Set in a classic American suburban environment, the show followed Archie and his friends at home and at school, featuring well-known comic book characters such as Archie's best friend Jughead, Veronica, Reggie, and Betty, who had an on-and-off romantic relationship with Archie. Archie's parents and Mr. Weatherbee, Archie's high school principal, were also frequently featured in the show. The atmosphere at the live recordings was characterized by the enthusiastic energy of its teenage audience.</p><p>The radio show was broadcast between 1943 and 1953 on various radio networks. While the exact number of episodes aired is not known, some episodes survive to this day.
