After finding success with The Bugs Bunny-Road Runner Hour, CBS decided they needed another hour-long show on Saturday mornings.
After The Archie Show had seemingly been renewed, the network decided to expand the show to an hour, rechristening it The Archie Comedy Hour, and introducing Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, who figures prominently in the video below.
However, the hour-long format didn't really work for Archie as well as you'd think. The next season brought another format change to Archie's Funhouse, also an hour, while Sabrina and The Groovie Goolies were spun off into their own half hour, in much the same way Motormouse & Autocat were broken away from The Cattanooga Cats over on ABC.
Here's the promo, with narration by Gary Owens.
I have no memory of this series. I was 6 at the time, after all. No rating.
