The Archie Comedy Hour |
In 1969, the show was expanded to an hour and retitled The Archie Comedy Hour, which included a half-hour featuring Sabrina the Teenage Witch.[2] In 1970, the show became Archie's Funhouse, and featured live-action segments. After three seasons, The Archie Show stopped airing on CBS in 1971.[citation needed]
Filmation continued to produce further Archie television series until 1978, including Archie's TV Funnies (1971–1973), The U.S. of Archie (1974–1976) and The New Archie and Sabrina Hour (1977–1978).[3]
