Sinopsis
As a kid, it was a good Saturday afternoon if I had a bowl of Cheetos and a collection of Peanuts comic strips in front of me. Charlie Brown and the gang were friends to me. (I especially identified with Linus.) I really liked the week-long story arcs and the brilliant mix of humor, frustration and perseverance of these lil' folks. And, honestly, I'm a little sad Shermie never took off as a main character.Animated Peanuts was great too. The airing of a Peanuts TV special was a big event in my house. I was pretty young, but I remember seeing RACE FOR YOUR LIFE, CHARLIE BROWN in 1977 in a movie theater. I know I watched A BOY NAMED CHARLIE BROWN over and over on cable. BON VOYAGE, CHARLIE BROWN (And Don't Come Back!) is a wonderful movie, animated or otherwise. And I don't think a year has gone by that I haven't watched the Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas specials. I pretty much have the dialogue memorized, much to the chagrin of my wife and kids.To date, Charlie Brown and the gang have appeared in five feature films and dozens of TV specials, including the series "This is America, Charlie Brown" and "The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show". And on this podcast, we're going to watch them all. We'll discover what we liked and what we didn't. What worked and what didn't. There are many layers to a Peanuts special. Even in two dimensions, these characters are fully fleshed-out humans - and one beagle - with all the fears, anxieties, joys and laughs we all experience. Let's explore those together.

119: THE ONE WHERE WE LEARN TO HATE "PEANUTS"
20/06/2024 Duración: 01h26minEpisode 119 is all about mixed emotions. I mean, we've got news and feedback from in and around the Peanuts universe, which is great. And we've got a discussion of season 1, episode1 of a BRAND NEW SNOOPY SERIES! "Camp Snoopy" just debuted on Apple TV and we're talking about it. This could be good. Spending the summer with the Beagle Scouts doesn't sound so bad. But ... In this month's Random Strip of the Month, listener Lynn presents a storyline from the strip that is maybe kind of in bad taste. So do we hate Peanuts now? Okay, maybe not, but be prepared to rethink humor in comics in general and Peanuts in particular.

114: DALE HALE AND CHUCK'S HEAD
10/04/2024 Duración: 01h16minIn episode 114, we find out that everything we thought we knew about Charles Schulz is a lie. Ok, Not really.

We'll take a few minutes this episode talking specifically about Dale Hale - his Peanuts work and more.
