Re: the headline.  Of course it isn't.  TV viewers wouldn't sit still for Archie's original language or issues-(Archie's first comic appeared about the time Japan hit Pearl Harbour.  Characters and situations constantly changed.) So, this series just hitch-hikes (I won't say "hijacks") something we THINK we are familiar with it--and re-imagines it for today.  

In doing that, it projects today's speech-patterns, issues,  body language and values onto those of another age. Producers and writers MUST do this in order to make it palatable for 21st century audiences.  Always have. Did you think Roman gladiators REALLY talked like Russell Crowe in that movie?

So, amused, yesterday, when I read that Trump's Tweets emulated FDR's "informal" fireside chats.  Informal?  Read a couple--they're on-line!  FDR didn't use the language of the "common people." Why would he?  He was the President--he used statesmanlike language--as the public expected--and appreciated.  Boy, how things have changed!!
