So here's a little idea. What if they take many of the main Archie Characters and give them kids. Like pair up Archie & Veronica, Reggie & Betty, Jughead & Midge(Life With Archie), Dilton & Cheryl, and Moose & Ethel. Make them all adults of either pre teens or teenagers who all live in Riverdale.  Do you think this would work and possibly be fun to see Archie tormented by his kids like he tormented his own dad?

In the last issue of Life With Archie. He did have a son & daughter. But they hide who the mother of children so you didn't know if Betty or Veronica were the mom.

Yes I know. I think it would fun to have there kids as teens and really make them the central characters with Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and Reggie still in it but more like the parents. So there teen kids could drive them crazy.

I'm not sure what I'd find compelling about Archie & the gang suddenly having kids beyond just a one-off "imaginary" type storyline.  I liked the way LWA approached a similar concept by having Archie and Betty as teachers of teen students who could (potentially) drive them batty.

I do miss Life With Archie. That coming in the mail was such a treat. I guess the next generation of Archie is the reboot of the comics. Especially in the 1st Josie, Melody tells Josie she can have a drink. So do her & Melody drink alcohol. And it seemed like they lived in a apartment. They don't live at home anymore. That would never fly in the old days. And wasn't Pepper working in a bar. And she looked much older than the rest of the girls.

I always thought they could have built a LWA spinoff series around Jellybean and her friends (which could also include some of Archie and Betty's new students at Riverdale). Jellybean, as the only 'name' character bridging the series to the past (but otherwise, as a teenager, effectively a blank slate) would be the natural anchor or lynch pin around which the other characters revolved, with Archie, Betty, Jughead, etc. taking over the roles formerly held by Mr. Weatherbee, Ms. Grundy, and Pop Tate. Of course, opportunities would abound for guest appearances of the "whatever happened to... ?" type: imagine Josie McCoy as a local independent music producer, Sabrina Spellman as the proprietress of a New Age/occult bookshop, Samantha Smythe as the owner of a heath & fitness club, Jinx Holliday as a local collegiate sports star, etc.

In the TV Serie Riverdale the parents are grown up versions of the kids. It seems there was even a tringle between Fers, Alice and Hermione. Also Fred and FP were close friends, justa like their sons.
