yell at me on Discord if I did something wrong, username - ahdollaryt my server - discord.gg/vcEFePTH Some additional trivia that wouldn't fit in the description There's a claim that the pronunciation of Moose's surname as "Manson" at 05:07 was changed to "Mason" in a later print following the outbreak of the Manson Murders that occurred around this time, but this print, which came from the DVD, retains the original "Manson" pronunciation. Additionally, all the wikis and stuff online about this special dates it to the 14th of September, 1969, a little more than a month after the murders. It appears this change applied to Moose's character as a whole in subsequent comics and television, not necessarily this program. There were actually a handful of Pals adverts that were included in the commercial breaks for the original broadcast in addition to the sponsor at the beginning, which were disregarded for this remastered videotape scan. It would've been interesting to see those in newer colors. Another claim was that Filmation wanted to do a cartoon version of the sitcom "Bewitched", but couldn't because they weren't able to get the rights to that property. Their urge for third party black magic was set in stone before they even realized it, as they discovered that the Archie comic franchise already had Sabrina, who pre-dated "Bewitched" by a little less than two years. A rather minor (but rising) character by the time this was released. The referenced alternative first print in the description (here's a more mobile-friendly YT link ua-cam.com/video/HDDP8NoHPqA/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MYXSTUDIOSINC.) was uploaded in anamorphic, not stretched back to the original 4:3 aspect ratio. It's interesting to note though that despite this, it's a bit more open-matte than in this remastered scan. You can view some comparison shots here: the-archie-show.fandom.com/wiki/Archie_and_His_New_Pals This program is full of animation presets that went mostly unused in subsequent Archie/Sabrina content. I suppose it kind of had to be since it was sort of a special event, enabling the animators to go nuts. It was incredibly refreshing to not see the same 800 presets being recycled 21 trillion times. [Edit 08/09/2022] Something that never crossed my mind when I uploaded this was that it will have turned 53 years old come September. Sabrina as a character will have turned 60 come October. The 22nd issue of the "Archie's Madhouse" comic book magazine was her introduction into the franchise. The writers of the "Riverdale" show went back to this by having Kiernan Shipka, who of course portrays Sabrina in the new Archie/Sabrina franchise dress in the same white and red outfit with black belt as in that comic from October 1962 in the now infamous scene of the show where she meets Jughead at Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe. Mind you, I haven't seen anything much of this new franchise, and I don't intend I ever will, because I only ever hear nothing but bad things about it regarding the story. I don't hear anything bad about the casting, which seems fine, apart from that they are generally unlikable due to the poor writing so I've been told. Additional thoughts Watching this with the knowledge that it was special took me back to my childhood in the 2000s and even early 2010s watching special TV programs with my siblings around the living room television in 480i, stereo, and with commercials as well, despite how much hate they get. Turns out that such an experience had as much charm in the 2000s as it did in the 1960s. The only things that have changed being the added online interactivity. And now it seems, in the age of HDTV and 4K, that magic has largely faded, at least with my family, I can't speak for everyone else, though I can imagine it's very similar in most cases. With everyone watching stuff on streaming platforms by the season, TV specials just aren't as fun as they used to be. I'm about 97% certain that this is why Reggie was always after Sabrina in subsequent Archie/Sabrina content. In Moose's closing speech, he specifically thanks Sabrina for encouraging him to even dare finish. At 22:38, Reggie says he's fine with the outcome, but in reality probably lost some sleep over it. Remembering her name, he must've made it his life's mission to try to dig up something about her to denounce her, and in the process, accidentally discovered that she's an apprentice witch. This is just me talking hot trash, not confirmed lore. This of course is quite an appropriate time to upload this, given the context of the school election (midterm elections in 2022). I'm not voting by the way in this year's midterms, in case you were wondering, just because I'm pretty cooked on elections. And that's not all, the whole arc of Sabrina not being able to communicate with anyone kind of hits home more than I remember. This whole thing is everything I hate, all rolled into one. Politics, loneliness, and I have to be stupid accurate with these details. But hey, at least there's no interlacing artifacts. As we've seen, this one 25 1/2 minute program has a lot of interesting history and speculation surrounding it, which is kind of the reason I've put it off for this long. I unrolled a log, and a ton of ants scattered in all directions. I may not have everything correct, so correct me if there's something that's wrong or missing.
For the record, "ARCHIE AND HIS NEW PALS was a CBS Primetime TV special that aired on September 14, 1969, a day after the CBS Saturday Morning debut of "THE ARCHIE COMEDY HOUR". The song, "Get On The Line", was used in the closing credits of this Filmation Associates produced TV special, which was at the height of "THE ARCHIES" major success following the release of "Sugar, Sugar", and around five Calendar LP Record albums that were officially released between 1968 and 1971. Don Kirshner, the man who also helped make NBC's "THE MONKEES" (Raybert Productions and Screen Gems) a huge hit with all their music, was also the same man responsible for "The Archies" music from 1968 to 1970. Filmation Associates produced all the ARCHIE cartoons from 1968 to 1977 through various formats, and was also the leading Saturday Morning dominator throughout their full decade run on Saturday Morning TV. The original Filmation cartoons are now owned by DreamWorks and NBC/Universal.
Originally sponsored by Bristol-Myers' Pals vitamins. Here's a middle commercial (appearing at 15:03), with Archie appearing at the beginning and end: ua-cam.com/video/VuooiXIvMA0/v-deo.html
Fred Silverman had a hand in creating this special. When he was programming CBS' Saturday morning schedules from 1963 through 1975, he was the one who saw possibilities in scheduling an "ARCHIE" series in 1968 (during the transition from an "all-supehero" lineup to emphasizing "comedy" cartoons- including "ARCHIE", "WACKY RACES", and "THE BUGS BUNNY/ROAD RUNNER HOUR"). When he expanded "ARCHIE" into a full hour {as "THE ARCHIE COMEDY HOUR", in 1969}, he also saw possibilities in adding Sabrina, who'd already been featured in the "Archie's Mad House" comic book for seven years; supposedly, when she was initially "pitched" to him, he went nuts over her {"Hey, she's a *great* idea! Who IS she? She's like Samantha from 'BEWITCHED'!!!! I want her on the show!!!!"}]. A year later, he featured her in her own series, "SABRINA AND THE GROOVIE GOOLIES".
@@fromthesidelines Lou Scheimer attempted to make a "BEWITCHED" animated series, but Screen Gems, with Hanna-Barbera Productions, who were both associated with their businesses in the 1960s, obviously shot down that idea. but, someone at Archie Comics told Lou Scheimer that there was a character that they first published in 1963-a character named "Sabrina", and the rest became history!
@@MONGOOSE1ful Sort of an irony there since after Archie's success Silverman requested Hanna-Barbera to make a clone series. Thus we got "Scooby-Doo Where Are You" the following year. History repeats itself.
ty for posting!!! I'm on a quest to watch all archie shows I can find (except riverdale lol) and I couldnt find this one or the comedy hour stuff anywhere else, i really appreciate you uploading them
Seems more wholesome than anything I've seen from the recent Riverdale/Chilling Adventures franchise Also, for your Moose x Sabrina needs ua-cam.com/video/Nb5-cPZgzoU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AhDollar (skip to 09:16)
It feels like the writers stepped up their game a little, so maybe they knew this was for prime time? You have to forgive that one of the best lines is really too smart for the character: Moose says, "I thought I was presidential timber, but my friends think I'm a blockhead!" Also amazing that we don't see much recycled animation; it all looks new! And supposedly this was only ever repeated one time, and wasn't put in the rotation of the series and endlessly repeated. Perhaps also the writing was a step above since George Gladir, one of the regular Archie comic book artists and writers of the day AND also co-creator of the Sabrina character, is credited as a writer here.
This is messed up. Reggie should have been running with an assist from Moose. Archie should have been running for President, with Dilton Doiley and Sabrina assisting.

Crazy times.

Don Messick was a voice here, too?
Probably Hot Dog.
Dallas McKennon voiced Hot Dog.
