Ticket to ride song from riverdale3/28/2024 ![]() Weatherbee is delaying helping Miss Grundy in favor of “working”, but the VHS edit makes him immediately go to help her right after that line. This edit makes no sense, though, because Mr. Weatherbee are removed from the VHS edition (but their lines aren’t) in order to trim the scene by 7 seconds. The music for this movie was composed by Mark Snow of future X Files fame. IMDb gives only one filming location: John Marshall High School in Los Angeles. I’m not sure where the exterior scenes for Riverdale were actually shot. Also, a slow AOR version of “Sugar, Sugar”, sung by a Bruce Springsteen wannabe Wilson Pickett, plays. The movie starts with some nice, leisurely paced shots of Riverdale to sell the intimate small-town image. If only they had a different one available… Nice job on the replacement title, assholes. It’s also over two minutes long, being more like a movie trailer. It has fun with comic-style visuals and promises a wild, crazy, and sexy Archie story that “they wouldn’t dare show in the comic book”.īy contrast, the New Horizons home video commercial is more nostalgic, trying to remind the older audience of the Filmation cartoons (they even play “ Sugar, Sugar“). I think the NBC commercial is more interesting. ![]() “Tonight, NBC presents a world premiere movie.”īoth the NBC airing and the VHS version are preceded by a preview commercial, each of which is unique. I have no idea of the region or even if it’s legit, but it lists an 85-minute running time, making it, despite the cover title, the “Return to Riverdale” version. ![]() One more thing before I get into the story: be wary of this DVD release: For the cut material, I’ll be taking screencaps from a YouTube upload of the NBC airing that I saved early last year. I’m gonna review the entire movie and take screencaps primarily from the “Return to Riverdale” version, which I’d transferred to a DVD-R back in 2007. Generally, RTR has more on the top and left, and TRABA has more on the bottom and right. Also, each of the videos seem to contain portions of the image that the other doesn’t, but that might be due to the TV-airing video that I have not being in full standard definition. Why? Who knows? But a lot of stuff was cut, most notably the flashback sequences to when the gang was in high school. It had been released on home video on Tuesday, July 29, 1997, by New Horizons Home Video and retitled “Archie: Return to Riverdale” (which actually makes a lot more sense than the Tolkeinesque title that they originally went with).īut that’s not all. It wasn’t until an unknown number of years later that I found a copy on VHS (probably at the local flea market). Maybe NBC wasn’t coming in clearly that day. I remember seeing a commercial for it on TV. He was going off the script, which he’d just read. I remember Victor Gorelick (the editor of Archie Comics) hyping it in his “Editor’s Notebook” in the sole Archie comic that I’d read at that point ( Archie Comics Digest Magazine, No. ![]() It got a primetime airing at 9:00 PM (EDT), after a rerun of “ALF” and a series called “227”. It aired during the May sweeps period as an NBC movie of the week and was seen as a pilot for a possible TV series. It was meant to explore adult issues and appeal to the older members of the viewing audience that had a nostalgia for Archie while also being relatively safe for young kids to enjoy. However, Archie Comics knew it needed something big to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Archie, and so we got this: a live-action made-for-TV movie adaptation, produced by DiC (which co-produced “The New Archies”), starring adult versions of the characters reuniting for their high school class’ 15-year reunion. A live-action movie featuring teen versions of the characters was going nowhere, but the rights were likely still locked up. “ The New Archies“, which had originally aired in 1987, was re-aired on network television in 1989. On television, the two failed pilots from the 1960s were unheard of to the general viewing public, and the two 1970s TV specials were largely forgotten. In 1990, Archie Comics was gearing up for its 50th anniversary celebration. Length: 94:55 (NBC airing, excluding the NBC sequence and preview commercial), 84:19 (VHS version, excluding preview commercial and misc.) In was covered by The Carpenters and their version went to number 54 in the United States.I’m sorry that this is late, but I wanted to get it up this week instead of delaying it again. It went to number 1 in the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Ireland, Canada, the Netherlands and Norway, number 2 in Germany and South Africa, number 3 in Finland, number 7 in Zimbabwe, number 8 in Austria and number 10 in Belgium. " Ticket to Ride" is a 1965 song by The Beatles and taken from their album Help!. ![]()
