What happens

Archie's Weird Mysteries (French: Archie, mystères et compagnie) is an animated television series based on the characters by Archie Comics. The series premise revolves around a Riverdale High physics lab gone awry, making the town of Riverdale a "magnet" for B movie-style monsters. All the main characters solve strange mysteries in a format similar to both Scooby-Doo and The X-Files. Produced by Les Studios Tex and DIC Productions, L.P., the series was initially shown mornings on the PAX network premiering on 2 October 1999, often with infomercials bookending the program. The series eventually premiered in France on M6 on 19 January 2000. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
