so what did everyone think of RIVERDALE?
loved it? hated it? thought it was just ok?

So Riverdale's pilot episode was on last night on the CW, based on the Archie Comics line.

What did comic and comic-related folk think?

Great to see Luke Perry back on TV last night in RIVERDALE.

Forgot to tape Riverdale last night so just caught up on CW app. Don't think it's for me but I have a feeling it will be popular for sure.

I have no idea if I liked or hated the #Riverdale pilot.

One of the things that I love about Riverdale is that it finally explained why every girl in Riverdale inevitably chases after Archie.

So help me, I really mostly liked the first episode of Riverdale. Not a big TV guy, so no idea how long I'll watch it for; but I did like it

yeah Fiona Staples art in the Archie logo following RIVERDALE! 😆

Seeing @fionastaples' Archie headshot appear in the logo after the end credits of RIVERDALE caught me off-guard and made me really happy.

Riverdale doesn't make any qualms about who/what Archie is. He's a super-chiseled set of abs with beautiful people problems.

— Christian Hoffer (@CHofferCBus) January 27, 2017

Well, "Riverdale" is every bit as unbearable as I expected it to be.

Aww, thank you so much, Ross. My boos told pretty much the same thing while watching @CW_Riverdale tonight so maybe it's a little true :) https://t.co/QYum0APw50

I don't know how I feel about a show about teenagers being labeled as sexy. #Riverdale

— J. Williams 🎃 (@JenWilliams13) January 27, 2017

If the Riverdale newspaper conducted a poll about what people liked about Archie, the results would be 99% abs and 1% "he's nice" from Betty

#Riverdale is playing Tegan and Sara. So I'm down with this show.

People talking ot3 in #riverdale but archie comics nor the cw would never have the courge likely nor the talent to write a poly relationship

Archie does not deserve EITHER of these women…but that's no change from the comics. #Riverdale

So, did anyone else watch Riverdale? Did you guys like it? I am on board–I loved Dawson's Creek & Veronica Mars, so…

— Jordan D. White (@cracksh0t) January 27, 2017

Gotta say, I'd hyped myself up for @CW_Riverdale which is often a sure road to disappointment.

But no; fantastic first episode! Loved it! ❤
