Watch Archie's Weird Mysteries HD for free on Banana HD

The Archie comic book series serves as the inspiration for the animated children's television show Archie's Weird Mysteries, which airs on Nickelodeon in the United States. The premise of the series centers around a physics experiment at Riverdale High School that goes bad, turning the town of Riverdale into a "magnet" attracting monsters similar to those found in B-movie horror films. The program is licensed under the stipulation that it satisfies the FCC's criteria for educational and informational children's programming, and commercial stations in the United States use it in order to conform to this standard. The show, which was initially broadcast in the mornings on the PAX network and was produced by DIC Entertainment, was frequently bookended by infomercials throughout its initial run. As a method of adhering to the obligatory E/I laws that were in place during the following season, its repetitions were syndicated to television stations all over the United States.
