From Comics to Toons: A complete episode of Archie's TV Funnies (1971)

 The theme of this episode of Archie's TV Funnies centers on Reggie (John Erwin) and Moose covering the Riverdale Air Circus, with disastrous results.

Also on deck:

Broom Hilda tries to placate Irwin and Gaylord by making it rain. Due to the use of Noah's Ark at the end, I don't think this would play today in certain parts of the country.

In The Captain & The Kids, the boys are falsely accused of untying the Captain's canoe, when it's clear they had nothing to do with it.

Dick Tracy battles The Brow.

Emmy Lou consoles a friend who thought she found Mr. Right, but is disappointed.

A quick Dropouts skit involving a giraffe, and gags with Smokey Stover & Nancy. Moon Mullins got the week off.




I honestly think Filmation could have spun Dick Tracy off into his own series, but passed.

Rating: B-.
