Archie is not the first publisher to notice this (we've seen Marvel & DC do the same thing in recent years, with slightly more success).<br /><br />As for uniting Archie & Josie on TV, it's just a matter of whether or not 1) Cookie Jar (which bought DIC) would bring Archie back to TV and 2) acquire a license to do a new Josie series, or 3) someone else gets the license for both to make it happen.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-77910360152073269152010-07-30T18:51:31.235-04:002010-07-30T18:51:31.235-04:00Growing up in the era when Archie was licensed out...Growing up in the era when Archie was licensed out for a series of Christian-themed comic books, to see what for all purposes is a 180 on certain social issues is a really surprising and welcome change.<br /><br />Personally, if I had any problem with this romance, it would be over the fact that Archie is Filmation and Valerie is Hanna-Barbera. Meshing those animation styles would never work. ;)Marc Edward Heuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563779617157443811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-60280400724498386062010-07-30T17:03:43.118-04:002010-07-30T17:03:43.118-04:00whoa! i mean, go!...whoa! i mean, go!...Prof. Grewbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132543249418576650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-60601214874734193632010-07-30T15:50:31.221-04:002010-07-30T15:50:31.221-04:00She's HOTTT!!!
