Show Summary

Premiered: --
Status: On Hiatus / TBD

Charles Schulz's classic comic strip Peanuts started in 1950. Fifteen years later, A Charlie Brown Christmas debuted. When The Little Christmas Special that Could proved to be an unexpected success, the stage was set for successive television specials. To date, over forty have been made.''''The Charlie Brown specials focus on one round-headed kid, his goofy but intelligent beagle, and their vast array of friends. Each has distinctive qualities: Lucy, the crabby, self-proclaimed psychiatrist; Linus, the blanket-toting theologian; Schroeder, the Beethoven worshiper whose black piano keys are only painted on; Peppermint Patty, the tomboy whose affections toward "Chuck" are only outweighed by her sports abilities; and so on. The wit, the charm, the pleasantness of these specials make them appropriate not just for children, but for the whole family.moreless

This show deserves A lot of respect, but I just don't know why.

5.0

"Mediocre"

By starman100, Aug 16, 2010 Report Abuse

First of all, I have never, ever seen a show with worse animation in my entire life. This may be going too far, but I could draw better than that. The voice-overs are the worst of any show I have ever seen.
When the character is angry all they do is just make their voices higher or lower, without giving any emphasis or expression. I know they were kids, but...

This show is meant to be great, but there is obviously something that is just slipping right past me.
I know this show is old, but I've seen a million better shows that are WAY older.

However, I did learn a lot of things from this show.

Many people may disagree with this and I may not be giving it respect, but I'm sorry, it's just what I think of it.moreless

"Perfect"

By spongebobs1fan, Apr 26, 2009 Report Abuse

This show is about 13 remarkable young kids and 2 friendly creatures, Snoopy and Woodstock. Charlie Brown is an outsider and isn't what you call in the "in-crowd", but he manages to always seem optimistic and happy about the world around him. Lucy is a psychiatrist of whom never quite seems to get the job done but appears to anyway. From PigPen to Schroeder and Charlie Brown to Lucy. These memorable characters are clever and witty and cannot be copied. They are unique and have no flaws whatsoever. But having no flaws is a flaw and in a manner of speaking, the Peanuts have plenty of them for being perfect.

This is a good show
A 10/10...moreless

"Superb"

By TudorRose, Feb 08, 2009 Report Abuse

Charlie Brown is probably one of the greatest shows of all time. The animation is wonderful and the charaters lovible. I loved the Peanuts ever since I could walk. This was when shows had morials and lessions for children. Todays shows for children are just badly drawn and bably writen. What I like about this show is that the charaters are voiced by real kids. Of course Snoopy man's best friend makes this show complete. Snoopy is probably the most famous dog in history. Snoopy is the cutest! This show will always be the best. Anyone who dosen't like the Peanuts has no taste.moreless

When Charlie Brown is depressed about Christmas, its up to the rest of the gang to try to help him out of it. But when his attempts to brighten up the Christmas play go awry, Linus has the answer and its a Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown! after all.moreless

"Perfect"

By drwoowoocl, Dec 10, 2008 Report Abuse

"Christmastime is here, full of joy and cheer........" If you hear these words, then you know its the brillant Peanuts special "A Charlie Brown Christmas". This is such a wonderfully wrought program that I have loved over the years, its hard to come up with ways to describe it that dont sound corny. As a 6, 7 year old, seeing this, I loved the silly physical comedy and what appeared to be ground breaking animation, but as Ive gotten older, Ive come to appreciate the more subtle satire, the absolutely breathtaking jazz score by Vince Guarldi and overlook what I now see(as an adult) is somewhat crude animation compared to the later specials. Not to mention the perfect rendering of the voices. Peter Robbins was for me the perfect Charlie Brown and the wonderful Chris Shea has the Linus down to a tee. I believe his brother also had their shot at playing Linus, but I still think Chris was the best. And although Sally Dryers Lucy doesnt quite have the over the top quality that Pamela Ferdin brought to the character, her rendition works very well here. All the elements came together and here is a special that I think it the greatest Xmas special ever!moreless

"Perfect"

By DexterNinja, Nov 21, 2008 Report Abuse

Peanuts is just fabulous... It was an original comic strip that was created in the 1950's and ended in 2003. Damn it! This show should come back because I saw This Is America, Charlie Brown in school today and this is just lovable. Now it only, for like, real, it only airs on ABC during holidays. Damn. I wish it would air on Saturday mornings or weekdays. I have a comic book full of 1963-1964 Peanuts comic book strips. Charles M. Schultz died in 2000 and that's when the comic ended that year. But they still air reruns of this comic in some newspaper.

FINAL SCORE: 10.0. (Perfect)moreless
