Archie's Weird Mysteries - the Complete Series

I didn't see Archie's Weird Mysteries back when it ran originally. I think I first discovered this show maybe around a year or two ago (in 2010 or 2011 for you down the road people in future years) on the CW. I only caught a few episodes of it, but from what I could tell it seemed to be an entertaining enough cartoon. Definitely not one that shoved stupidity at the expense of being actually entertaining down your throat like some shows.Archie's Weird Mysteries follows the traditional cast from Archie's Comics--Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, and Reggie. However, this show takes a more supernatural and sci-fi spin than Archie Comics do. Here we have the gang living in Riverdale and each episode finds the characters dealing with strange things threatening Riverdale. These include a giant potato alien trying to turn people into potatoes, a genie who will destroy Riverdale if three wishes are granted, an Egyptian mummy who doesn't like having pictures of him taken, and more.All the characters are pretty much the same as their comic counterpart. Here though, Archie runs an article in the paper called the titular "Archie's Weird Mysteries" and at the end of each episode he writes about what a character or everyone learned through the episode's experience.The animation is pretty well done and is traditionally drawn. By that I mean it's 2D instead of CGI or the like. Which I definitely think this show benefits from that. I think a CGI version of this show just wouldn't have had the same charm.I haven't watched all the episodes yet but currently I'm on the second disc. So far there hasn't been an episode that I've really disliked. On the flip side, the show doesn't seem to be terribly continuity concerned. There will be episodes where a character or characters will clearly witness something not normal by our standards but in the next episode will conveniently forget it happened.One example is Archie. In the first episode, Archie clearly witnesses a UFO and alien and people apparently remember what happened during the episode after the event was over. In another episode that dealt with different aliens, Archie acts like this was the first time he ever saw aliens. Another character witnesses clear supernatural events and come next episode, anything "weird" that the show deals with is nothing more than a silly affair or something.Not a big deal but just something I noticed repeatedly happen.The only special features I've noticed this set comes with is several episodes of two other cartoons. Neither of which I could less about seeing, to be honest. But one is the old Sabrina the Teenage Witch cartoon (not the live action one with Melissa Joan Hart) and some show about a girl vampire.The biggest question I had with this boxset is how they packaged the discs themselves. Looking at the box, it's such a nice case and then you open it up and the four discs just in papery slip cases. Not a big deal either but something I wondered why they didn't just spend a little more on something a little better.All in all, a good show worth the few dollars. I enjoy the show a lot.

I decided to purchase this because I recently saw this on Qubo Night Owl. They showed a few of the episodes, but they didn't have all the episodes. I watched this, when it first aired, in elementary school. It was on before I went to school, so I watched most of the episodes. I did miss a few, which is why I decided to buy this on Amazon. For the price, it's a good deal. There aren't any special features like behind the scenes or commentary. It's just a collection of all the episodes spread across the 4 DVDs. The only extras are the episodes from Sabrina's Secret life, Sabrina The Animated Series, and Mona the Vampire.As for the presentation, all the DVDs are in one box. There is one slot that holds the 4 DVDs. They are stacked on each other. It's an effective way to store them, but a bit annoying when you have to remove 3 DVDs if you want to watch something from disc 4. The menu on each disc is similar. It's easy to navigate. You just choose an episode and play it. The only thing I don't like is that the episodes are continuous. Once an episode ends, it doesn't go back to the main menu. It just plays the next episode.The series is enjoyable for both children and adults. Each episode has a lesson. It's not a cartoon that is formulaic. The only thing that is similar in each episode is the end when Archie writes out his journal entry and ends it with "in a little town called Riverdale." For the price and the amount of episodes included, it's a great deal.

I purchased Archie's Weird Mysteries' Complete Series on 4 DVDs, in December 2014 from Amazon, for $7.49. Now, in 2021 it's been out of print and used copies are going for as high as $300!I discovered Archie's Weird Mysteries in 2014 when several episodes aired on the QUBO Over-the-Air TV Network. Alas, QUBO has shut down in 2021, and this DVD is only available used. Hope is that someone will publish the series again and Amazon will carry it.As for the quality of the DVDs - they're great. No skipping, no pixelation, and no bad audio. My 4-DVD Set is published by Mill Creek. They contain all 40 Episodes. This particular Archie Animation is definitely the best of any Archie Animation I've ever seen. The series is well written and is entertaining for both Children and Adults. The video is relatively high definition and the audio is clear and intelligible.I highly recommend Archie's Weird Mysteries - if you can buy it for under $40.

Watching these with my 8 year old son.... takes me back to my childhood! Love them!

If you are expecting Teen aged adventures from Archie and friends, be aware that this a cross between The Archies (Sugar, Sugar) and Scooby doo. All the episodes are featuring supernatural beings or events. Aired in 1999-2000, it casts the usual bunch of High school kids, but it does not have the a joke per story approach. Betty, Reggie and the others are always mixed up in some Sci-fi plot. It was as refreshing as surprisung... Animation and sounds are simpleto keep it close to the originals. Each episode has a little "morale" attached to it (required by thr networks). It is just plain FUN !!!!Fans of secondary characthers such as Midge, Moose or Big Ethel have to know that they appear only once or twice in the course of 40 episodes. Dilton will be there on and off. Authors are grabbing ideas from various Horror/Sci-fi movies and brings them to life with Archie and his friends (Ex : VEronica becomes the 50-feet woman).To beef up the DVDs, you are served a few episodes of the Sabrina and the "Mona the Vampire" cartoon. So even with the cons, this complete set is as irresistible as Archie and friends.

Bought as a Christmas gift for my sister who loved the show and comics growing up. She was thrilled & loves it.

Shipped lightning quick with free shipping (under 2 days).Box is great and the episodes are really great for their age, even up-scaled to 4K.I had a hard time finding the series for some time and came across it on here and had to buy it up quick.

Just like when i was a child. I could not get the digital copy to work though. Everytime I tried signing up, it would not work.
