BY LORRAINE DUFFY MERKL Thanks to Luke Perry, I am reminded that there is truth in the one-time Loving Care ad slogan: “You’re not getting older, you’re getting better.” On the CW’s new series “Riverdale”—a “Sugar Sugar”-free version of the Archie comics of my youth—Perry plays the redhead’s father, “Fred Andrews.” He has put the glitzy Beverly Hills in his rearview for the fictitious small town where life revolves around Archie, Veronica, Betty, Reggie and the rest of the gang. I think it’s a move in the right direction. The actor has also moved up in years, and quite frankly, is better for it.
