I'm not happy with ``action-adventure'' as a name for this sort of cartoon since, well, there isn't really all that much adventure and the action is pretty limited to animated-radio styles. But what would you call it? It's really not mystery, as there aren't mystery elements; it's just a bunch of people stumbling across a scheme to do evil, and foiling it, through varied mishaps and ... well, adventures. It's comical in tone, but then you can make a deliberately comic James Bond-type movie too.
Anyway, I'd love a better name for the genre but just can't think of one.
The Archies obviously had plenty to do with Josie and the Pussycats, although they're more suburbia sitcom than anything else. As far as I remember; I was never a big Archie fan --- though I see the cartoon is on hulu now --- although I would be happy with any of the spinoff comic books that varied them in nearly any way, be they little, spies, superheroes, or robots.
