Like Two & a Half Men, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Nancy Grace, Archie was one of those supposedly popular things that you can't find a single fan of.
People probably don't want to admit they like it. The original Archie Show series was put out on a DVD box set, and probably all of their albums on CD, so there must be some fans.
I was a fan, it was on every day on my summers home from school around lunch time. I think it's better than the highly commercialized shows that came after that sold toys.
