text: Writing The team of writers consisted of Bob Ogle, Chuck Menville, Len Janson, Jim Ryan, Bill Danch, and others. None of the writers involved were writers of the Archie Comics. The writing involved the concepts of dancing, singing, dating, high school, and youth problems for its appeal to young teenagers.
  Music
  The franchise's most notable effort was the music element in the form of the animated band The Archies. The Archie Show was designed to emulate the live-action series The Monkees by including rock music into each episode. All of the music included in the show were not specific to the plot of the stories.
  For the process of the songs, Filmation's staff told Kirshner what they wanted to work, what the attitude should be, and what they were writing on the stories. Kirshner would work on the dance of the weeks and songs, and deliver them as a whole to the studio. Norm Prescott handled all of the music with Kirshner.
  With vocals provided by Ron Dante and Toni Wine, the fictional group released a series of real-life albums and singles. Their most successful song is "Sugar, Sugar", which stood at the top of the pop charts for four weeks in 1969. "Sugar, Sugar" became the No. 1 song of 1969 on the Billboard charts, and as of 1969, it reportedly sold six million copies worldwide.
