I kinda like Snoopy as a normal dog back then whether he’s interacted with the children like a dog would do more or less, until somewhere in the mid 1960s Sparky just went too far by turned him into a crazy overrated annoying comic relief that I don’t actually like the most, He lost his dogness I felt, he acted more like the other kids and then finally he started to develop more and more personality which got worse and worse and worse and he sucks!!!!!!!

I had to disagree with Tireless Megafan (1957-58), You’re in Love Charlie Brown is the worst and weakest Peanuts animated special ever and nice introduction to Peppermint Patty and the trumpet adult voices too.

First of all I love the comic strip Peanuts and some of the animated specials which I really like for myself, And second for God’s point of view we all know that the four Charlie Brown movies which were made between 1969 and 1980 are bad taste I refused to watch them I’m afraid.

My parents loved peanuts but I think it is kind of lame. If you have seen one you have seen them all.

There’s a webcomic by Jason Yungbluth that you absolutely must read.

It’s about a grizzled cyborg mercenary in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

His friends – who are all DEAD – called him ‘Chuck’.

But to you….

he’s WEAPON BROWN.

There are parts of “Snoopy Come Home” that I really enjoy. The trick is to turn it off before it gets to the sad parts where all the Peanuts are bawling uncontrollably…

Am I the only one who was deeply disturbed by the fact that he kicks the football in “It’s Magic, Charlie Brown?”
Now that felt pretty lame. It just shouldn’t be!

Have to agree that “Flashbeagle” was a low point; “Happy New Year, Charlie Brown” followed in a similar vein. “Snoopy Come Home” was middling overall — the Shermans’ songs were a disappointment, right from the opening beach scene, which started with an appealing, lilting score, but then suddenly sank into the cheesy “At the Beach”. But by far the worst aspect of the movie was the scene with the battle between Linus and Snoopy over Linus’s blanket, which degenerated into an appallingly violent and mean-spirited interlude. What were Schulz and Melendez THINKING?!?

What was really the BEST Peanuts animation? Probably “You’re in Love, Charlie Brown”, the 4th TV special, from 1967 (produced next after the also-excellent “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”). The “wah-wah” adult voices debuted here, but that is not the crime some people seem to think it is. The humor of the episode was top-notch, perfectly reflecting the strip in its heyday.

Of course, with that being the “best”, means that, sadly, it was all downhill from there (albeit slowly at first)….

“Use my blanket to catch us.” is like the catch phrase of my childhood. We all deliver it deadpan and generally without provocation.

Charlie Brown was never one of my favourites, and you’ve reminded me of just why that is… :( There are old cartoons that are good and have aged well, but Peanuts isn’t it :(

Wow… not only did you FG haters become completely retarded, you forgot the entire point of a comments section. Thanks for giving me the inspiration needed to lobotomize the entire world.

I love all Peanuts cartoons. Some of them more for the nostalgia and the quiet peace I feel when watching them than for the humor. My kids may not like some of them which may be a better measure of whether or not they are funny, but I enjoy them on a level beyond what makes me laugh.
I can still do adult Peanut speak with my trumpet and a mute, too.

If FG is not funny to you, then FG is not funny TO YOU. Lots of people like it. That’s why it was brought back. I think the new ones are less funny than the originals, but I still get a good laugh out of some of the gags. The same way that I can fall out of my chair laughing at some BritComs while other people don’t even realize that a joke has occurred. Different people have different senses of humor.

Robot Chicken also had the BEST parody ever. The one where CB comes up to kick the football, and when Lucy pulls it away he kicks her squarely in the head exclaiming, “THAT’S FOR YEARS OF HUMILIATION, YOU B*TCH!!!”

are there any GOOD Peanuts parodies out there?

By: Adam Sobolak

Correction: the skank would have run bawling to Linus, only to have Linus slap her away, exclaiming “I’m not your Sweet Baboo!”.

Re CB = SB: I guess “Emily” might equal the little red-haired girl, then. Though more sublimely efficient (and FG-compatible to boot) would be to substitute the name “Charlie Brown” for “Arnold Layne”.

Most sublime of all, of course, is the tribute: “Shine On You Crazy Blockhead”…

Linus = Roger Waters? (Though I suppose Lucy would have knocked his block off when he suggested she vocalize on “The Great Gig In The Sky”.)

Other possibilities? A Snoopy/Red Baron-themed “Corporal Clegg”, perhaps; or, rather obviously, “if you don’t eat yer meat, you can’t have any pudding” rendered in wha-whas…

That comment by Adam on Syd Barrett made me laugh out loud. Poor, poor Syd. Now I have visions of the FG demented Charlie wandering around hearing “See Emily Play”.

I hate FG and agree that derisive humor at Peanuts expense feels like a cheap shot. But one that resonates with the FG crowd, I’m sure. I guess all that was left there was when Chuck pushes the blond skank with the fishnets away, to have Linus pipe up and say “Sally!”
