Archie's Weird Mysteries is a children's animated television show based on the Archie comic books. The premise of the series revolves around a Riverdale High physics lab gone awry, turning Riverdale into a "magnet" for B-movie style monsters. The show is marketed as meeting the FCC's educational and informational children's programming requirements, and it is used by commercial stations in the United States to do so. The show, which was produced by DIC Entertainment, debuted on the PAX network in the mornings, often with infomercials sandwiched in between. To comply with mandatory E/I regulations the following season, its repeats were syndicated to television stations across the country.
