I was yesterday years old when I realized that Sabrina the Teenage Witch is not an original character for the Melissa Joan Hart sitcom but was actually created as an Archie Comics character. She debuted in 1962. I didn’t know that until I saw an issue of Betty and Veronica on the supermarket newsstand plugging a special appearance by Sabrina.
There was even a cartoon back in the late 60s early 70s. She even appears in the Archies video for Sugar Sugar.
I’ve said this before, but Betty doesn’t strike me as the tambourine type. That seems more of a Veronica thing. Ronnie also makes sense on keyboards; her rich parents paying for their little girl’s piano lessons.
Why is Reggie strumming his bass guitar? Where the hell are the drums? Nobody ever held a guitar that far up yer sternum. Where’s Jughead?
I gotta lie down.
Johnny Cash
He didn’t play an entire evening in that position, did he? Looks really uncomfortable.
At about 2:10 there’s a shot of the whole group with Jughead on drums.
Now that you bring it up, maybe it should be Reggie on drums. Jughead strikes me as the low-ego, fade-into-the-background type that makes a classic bass player.
The opening theme is all about Jughead missing.
The kids from Echosmith hold their instruments up pretty high.
Tell us you don’t remember late 1960s/early 1970s cartoons without telling us you don’t remember late 1960s/early 1970s cartoons …
Yeah, @ekedolphin’s comment made me feel old, in a “You mean Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings?” sort of way.
Same here, fellow codger
Hehe! Yeah, I turned 40 in February.
I missed the window for that by being too old. By the late sixties/early seventies I was too old for that teeny bopper crap, and my own children weren’t born until after it was off the air.
It was a narrow window I passed through - not too young and not too old
I was born in 1969, so I just remember it from syndication. I seem to remember it paired with Groovy Goolies.
It occurred to me that most of the cartoons that I remember from the 60’s were actually reruns from the 70’s.
That’s why I never watched the show beyond the first episode. No Groovy Goolies.
I’m a bit of a traditionalist, with very little time for reboots in any form.
Good point. F’rinstance, when I think “fades into the background,” the first name that comes to mind is Paul McCartney.
