The show was also broadcasted on Mutual from 1944 to 1945.
Kenneth Banghart served as the announcer, while Bob Hastings played the lead character Archie during the show's NBC times. Other actors that took over the main role include Burt Boyar, Jack Grimes, and Charles Mullen. The other important character role, Jughead, was given to Cameron Andrews and Hal Stone. Up to now, Archie Comics is still popular and loved by many fans.

Then let's get out of here.Then I want to see what the

Gee was Haven't they ever seen anyoneblow bubbles before? Yes, Jug,
but not without a bubble pipe?Now come on, oho, oh Mary,
(23:10):
that that water is hot. Oh, I know it's hot, dear,
But it's the only way to getthat hat off. All right,
But you don't have to boil itoff? O oh Mary for gosha,
Well, I think the glue isoff dissolved. Now, dear, sos
my head. Try to pull ahat again? All right, you did
(23:36):
it? Pread ah, yes,finally Mary, did it take all my
hair with it? Oh? No, dear, But your hair's a little
messy. Well, I'm not worriedabout that. At least I don't have
to wear that hat the rest ofmy life. Well, I still don't
understand how it happened. Yes,Mary, there are a lot of things
that happen around here tonight that I'llnever understand. The jug. It worked
(24:00):
already. I'm all better. SeeI guess so our chier. That's you.
Yes, Dad, what happened toyour hair? Well, my hat
got stuck in Never mind that,now, just what happened to you at
the party? She? I don'tknow, Dad, I started hiccupping,
and every time I hicked, Ibleuw bubbles, bubble bubbles. Oh,
good grief. Now, look,there are just a few things around here
(24:22):
that need explaining. The glue inmy hair, the bubbles, Veronica smelling
like rotten eggs, and and well, there's only one way we'll ever get
to the bottom of this. Now. Everyone say exactly what they ordered from
Pringle's drugstore. Archie, Well,I ordered some bubble bath for Veronica,
and I ordered the health tonic forArchie, and I ordered the hair dressing
(24:45):
for myself. Well, now we'regetting somewhere. We are. Of course,
it is as plain as can be. When you're a tonic came,
I thought that it's no, that'snot right. Oh. When my hair
dressing came, Marry, you thoughtnaturally the thing was that doesn't seem to
(25:08):
be right either. When the gluecame. The glue, say, who
ordered that glue glue? Oh gee, Betty did and had it delivered here.
Oh, and I forgot to tellher it was here. Ah ah,
No, we're getting someplace now.Just who handed me that glue?
You took it yourself, mister AndrewsJohn, keep out of this. Come
(25:29):
on now, confess who had myself? You mean? I uh oh,
I h the bottle on the hallawas that glue? Yes, dear,
evidently you have no one to blamebut yourself. Yes, But who gave
me the bubble bath? I did, but you didn't tell me you'd ordered
(25:51):
it. I thought it was thetonic. How did Veronica get the tonic?
Well, she got here before Ihad a chance to open the package,
and I gave it to her thinkingit was bubble bath. It's your
own fault. Well, then,evidently nobody is to blame, of course
not she is. Well. Atany rate, we have that little mystery
straightened out. I still don't knowhow it ever happened. That is beside
the point, Mary. The mainthing is to see that it does not
(26:14):
happen again. Now. I hopewe've all learned our lesson. I hope
we've learned that everyone should let everyoneelse know what everyone else has ordered.
Whenever everyone is well, you getthe point. Yes, oh, I'll
get it. Last a minute,I'll get it. We've had enough trouble
for one night being as judge.Or here's that medicine, medicine. But
(26:38):
have we been waiting for that medicine? Medicine? Medicine? Then? What
was it I just took? Andwhat happened to my order? Your order?
Fred? What did you order?I called Prinkle to send me some
shampoo to get this glue out ofmy hair, and he said, jampoo
shift poo Archie. Now, Mary, for gosh sakes, that boy is
blowing bubbles again. You've been listeningto another chapter of the Adventures of Archie

Why am I glad I ran intoyou? Jugget she was Archie. You're

argue it. I bet a circuswould pay you a lot of money.
Jugg, For God's sake, goon into the drug store and get that
medicine. Why, man, becauseI can't go win their blowing bubbles.
Okay, I'll wait here, andfor guy's sake, hurry, Hi,

Then let's get out of here.Then I want to see what the
crowd is looking at. Jug.Hit. The crowd is watching me?
Gee was Haven't they ever seen anyoneblow bubbles before? Yes, Jug,
but not without a bubble pipe?Now come on, oho, oh Mary,
(23:10):
that that water is hot. Oh, I know it's hot, dear,
But it's the only way to getthat hat off. All right,
But you don't have to boil itoff? O oh Mary for gosha,
Well, I think the glue isoff dissolved. Now, dear, sos
my head. Try to pull ahat again? All right, you did
(23:36):
it? Pread ah, yes,finally Mary, did it take all my
hair with it? Oh? No, dear, But your hair's a little
messy. Well, I'm not worriedabout that. At least I don't have
to wear that hat the rest ofmy life. Well, I still don't
understand how it happened. Yes,Mary, there are a lot of things
that happen around here tonight that I'llnever understand. The jug. It worked
(24:00):
already. I'm all better. SeeI guess so our chier. That's you.
Yes, Dad, what happened toyour hair? Well, my hat
got stuck in Never mind that,now, just what happened to you at
the party? She? I don'tknow, Dad, I started hiccupping,
and every time I hicked, Ibleuw bubbles, bubble bubbles. Oh,
good grief. Now, look,there are just a few things around here
(24:22):
that need explaining. The glue inmy hair, the bubbles, Veronica smelling
like rotten eggs, and and well, there's only one way we'll ever get
to the bottom of this. Now. Everyone say exactly what they ordered from
Pringle's drugstore. Archie, Well,I ordered some bubble bath for Veronica,
and I ordered the health tonic forArchie, and I ordered the hair dressing
(24:45):
for myself. Well, now we'regetting somewhere. We are. Of course,
it is as plain as can be. When you're a tonic came,
I thought that it's no, that'snot right. Oh. When my hair
dressing came, Marry, you thoughtnaturally the thing was that doesn't seem to
(25:08):
be right either. When the gluecame. The glue, say, who
ordered that glue glue? Oh gee, Betty did and had it delivered here.
Oh, and I forgot to tellher it was here. Ah ah,
No, we're getting someplace now.Just who handed me that glue?
You took it yourself, mister AndrewsJohn, keep out of this. Come
(25:29):
on now, confess who had myself? You mean? I uh oh,
I h the bottle on the hallawas that glue? Yes, dear,
evidently you have no one to blamebut yourself. Yes, But who gave
me the bubble bath? I did, but you didn't tell me you'd ordered
(25:51):
it. I thought it was thetonic. How did Veronica get the tonic?
Well, she got here before Ihad a chance to open the package,
and I gave it to her thinkingit was bubble bath. It's your
own fault. Well, then,evidently nobody is to blame, of course
not she is. Well. Atany rate, we have that little mystery
straightened out. I still don't knowhow it ever happened. That is beside
the point, Mary. The mainthing is to see that it does not
(26:14):
happen again. Now. I hopewe've all learned our lesson. I hope
we've learned that everyone should let everyoneelse know what everyone else has ordered.
Whenever everyone is well, you getthe point. Yes, oh, I'll
get it. Last a minute,I'll get it. We've had enough trouble
for one night being as judge.Or here's that medicine, medicine. But
(26:38):
have we been waiting for that medicine? Medicine? Medicine? Then? What
was it I just took? Andwhat happened to my order? Your order?
Fred? What did you order?I called Prinkle to send me some
shampoo to get this glue out ofmy hair, and he said, jampoo
shift poo Archie. Now, Mary, for gosh sakes, that boy is
blowing bubbles again. You've been listeningto another chapter of the Adventures of Archie
