According to Ken P's posts, while Archie's writers may be supplied with
scripts from the TV series, he himself had never seen any of the eps on
TV (which, in any event, might not have been finished or aired when the
story was in the Archie pipeline). He also says that his 8-year-old son
is a major fan and kept him posted on the video developments. I think
someone on the group offered to send him the 2nd season eps on tape for
his edification. In any event, with the show in reruns and no new
eps in production, that pretty much frees up the forces at Archie to
take the story in their own direction.

I already made it clear that I found the whole business frustrating.
Nobody bothered to quote directly from the blurb that appeared in some
video gamers mag (quote plus as full citation as possible would have
been nice). Instead the whole thing kicked into rumor mode. Not cool.
I'm STILL waiting for someone to post a direct quote with citation for
inclusion in the FAQ File.
