Archie Andrews 62 Episodes
Archie Andrews is a bright, fast-paced teenage comedy series that brought the iconic characters from the Archie comic books to life over the airwaves. Debuting in 1943, the show follows the everyday chaos of Archie, the wholesome but hopelessly accident-prone red-headed teenager whose attempts at dating, impressing friends, or helping around the house inevitably lead to hilarious disasters.
Set in the friendly suburban town of Riverdale, the series captures the fun, innocence, and awkwardness of American teen life in the 1940s and early ’50s. Whether Archie is trying to juggle dates with Betty and Veronica, survive the wrath of Mr. Lodge, or keep Jughead out of trouble, each episode delivers warm, family-friendly comedy filled with youthful charm. Like the comic books, the radio show celebrated friendship, teenage romance, school antics, and community life—all wrapped in a bubbly sitcom style.
The Stars
Over its long run, several actors portrayed the teenage redhead, each bringing their own spirited energy to the role:
Bob Hastings — The most recognizable and beloved voice of Archie, perfectly capturing the excitable, crackling energy of the character.
Harlan Stone — As Jughead Jones, Archie’s food-loving, deadpan best friend whose wisecracks and laid-back attitude made him a fan favorite.
Alice Yourman and later Gloria Mann — As Veronica Lodge, Riverdale’s glamorous, confident “rich girl” who often competed with Betty for Archie’s affection.
Betty Cooper was played by several actresses, most memorably Rosemary Rice, who brought warmth, sweetness, and sincerity to the character.
Arthur Kohl and Hal Stone portrayed Mr. Andrews and other adult characters throughout the run.
The cast’s lively chemistry mirrored the comic strip’s beloved dynamics, translating perfectly into audio.
