Charlie Brown and the Peanuts Gang Are Heading Back to TV
Break out your best Snoopy dance, because Peanuts is returning to TV!
Charlie Brown, Lucy, and the whole gang will appear in a brand-new series of animated shorts on the Boomerang network, Variety reports. Beginning May 9, new episodes of Peanuts will air daily at 11:30am and later become available to stream on the network's video app.
The news comes after a renewed interest in Charles Schulz's Peanuts. Last year, the 3D computer-animated Peanuts Movie—the first Peanuts film in 35 years—earned a Golden Globe nomination. Leading up to the film's release, Normaal Animation Studios in France began producing new Peanuts shorts using watercolor art and textured backgrounds.
Now, these shorts are finally coming to America. Are you excited Peanuts is back?

If so fine, I guess. The market exists, so I won't bad mouth it...hell, if I did, I'd be a hypocrite, 'cause I'm kinda-sorta diggin' on the upcoming Voltron thing in the Netflix pipe.
Don't get me wrong, I digs me the taste of peanuts...but only on the occasional holiday tbh...It ain't enough to turn my eyes to a whole new network
poke me in a year or two & lets see then what they got goin' on.
just sayin'
Also, if Peppermint Patty & Marci were to go through puberty & end up in a lesbian relationship by the end of season one, I'd be there just to see the spectacle
Still, I'm just sayin'...If nostalgia's the point, use that point to poke people into the present
What could possibly go wrong, Amirite?
...Even you have to admit that aspect has never been properly established story-wise to this day.
Pfffft!! :P
BTW, what if Lucy was dealing drugs form her psychiatric booth for 5 cents a pop for all these years?
YOU CAN"T SAY FOR CERTAIN!!!
Patty was linked to other dudes, not just Chuck. If she's confused about her orientation, she's REALLY confused.
If I recall, the last feature-length Peanuts cartoon was "Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown", which was largely forgettable, but did lead to the creation of the Peanuts Memorial Day special "What Have We Learned, Charlie Brown?", which is excellent but not in the same vein as other Charlie Brown animated specials. Among other things, adults have actual voices.
