Bughead, Riverdale. Maybe art history? An experiment of sorts in actively engaging fandom. Give no shit, take no shit.

Riverdale has one serious problem, and I'm going to tell you what it is.
Not enough Uncle Frank.
More Uncle Frank would have saved this show from its current gurgling, flailing death spiral. (Seriously, what the everloving fuck is this flaming trash heap? I'd ask Roberto, but that would require talking to him.)
I recommend going back to the pilot and reshooting all seven seasons, but with Uncle Frank as the protagonist. Wait...maybe seven seasons isn't enough. How long did Bonanza run?
I want to see his whole life. If he eats oat bran for breakfast, I want to know about it. If he spent summers in Skokie, IL, I want flashbacks. If he enjoys Sudoku, narrate the whole damn puzzle. Start with his conception, and go from there.
Also, he needs his own theme song. Noted wordsmith Archie Andrews can sing it on the show.
This show has neglected the majesty of Uncle Frank for far too long.
imagine being gay Kevin & your whole personality is being gay but then it turns out that your whole friend group and everyone else you know is ALSO gay. the identity crisis would be unparalleled
715. It’s still 1950. We are cruising through the mid-decade a few social issues at a time. We are solving them Riverdale style: superficially, historically inaccurately, and not really. On the docket today: Miss Teen Riverdale. Where we address misogynistic beauty standards (without actually naming them, because that’s too icky), mother/daughter conflicts (without solving anything for the 7th season running), we get teased with another potential mystery (while the two that’s been ongoing don’t get a mention), and another teen girl gets shoved into SoQM by Alice Cooper (without Alice being held responsible. Again). But hey, we get another original song, so…
