Egg McMuffin May 26, 2022 Share May 26, 2022 I have a bit of a difficult time watching the new specials because the voices from the 60s specials were just so perfect, especially Charlie Brown, Linus, and Lucy. The original Linus’ brother succeeded him in the role in the early 70s and they sounded very similar. But I remember when Peter Robbins aged out of the role, and the new Charlie Brown in “Snoopy Comes Home” sounded nothing like him. I also really liked the original voice of Marcie in the 70s. The actor (it was a boy) had this great, distinctive, scratchy voice that none of his successors have even come close to.

Spartan Girl November 26, 2022 Share November 26, 2022 (edited) Word about those bitches, @GHScorpiosRule. The best part in that movie was after he won the first spelling bee, he walked right up to them and rubbed it in their faces, “You thought I couldn’t win but I DID!” At least he had that. While it sucks that he didn’t win the ultimate championship, the fact that Charlie Brown even made it that far was fantastic. He’s not the only contestant that lost because of a stupid word and he won’t be the last. Still, Schultz could’ve thrown him a bone… Which is why I’ll always love “It’s Magic, Charlie Brown” for finally letting him kick that ball. And even when he got turned back from being invisible and thus fell for the trick again, he and Snoopy still got the last laugh: Not a bad day for good old Charlie Brown… Edited November 26, 2022 by Spartan Girl 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/22122-peanuts-the-charlie-brown-and-snoopy-thread/page/3/#findComment-7766800

Linus said a bunch of insensitive things in this show—making Charlie Brown feel bad about throwing a stupid rock back into the ocean, saying that maybe Snoopy left because Charlie Brown was “boring”—but calling Snoopy a “used dog” had to be the worst. We all know that lots of pets end in shelters and have to be rehomed because their owners can’t care for them anymore, so Linus can take several seats. ”It Changes” is so powerful because it accurately depicts all the stages of grief. Charlie Brown staring at the empty doghouse, at photos of Snoopy, getting up in the middle of the night to eat cereal only to push it away because he can’t eat, then going back to bed and still unable to sleep…😭😭😭😭😭😭 Edited November 28, 2022 by Spartan Girl 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/22122-peanuts-the-charlie-brown-and-snoopy-thread/page/3/#findComment-7768831
GHScorpiosRule November 28, 2022 Share November 28, 2022 (edited) I really loved the Dick Cavett show interview clips with Shultz during the commercials. He was quite handsome. Shultz, that is. And I have to wonder--he said he named the strip Charlie Brown after a good friend of his. What did the real life Charlie Brown think of being depicted as a loser/being bullied, and hardly ever winning or being happy? I mean, even in the Christmas Special (the original), everyone, especially that TWAT, Lucy, is haranguing Charlie; calling him a loser for choosing that tiny Tree. And it's only after Linus, with his blanket and Snoopy decorating it, when it changes to a pretty little tree with full branches, that they all wish him a Merry Christmas. UGH. Know what? I'll take Jerk Santa Clause from Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, than this lot. Two exceptions: Peppermint Patty and Marcy were the only ones who were decent to Charlie.

Still, she was the only character in Snoopy Come Home that tried to cheer up Charlie Brown when Snoopy took off without explanation. Everyone else just told him to get over it (Lucy) or was just depressed him more (Linus). Inviting him to the carnival was a kind gesture, even though it wound up to be another way for the universe to crap all over him as usual (losing the games, getting sick on the rides, etc).

Vermicious Knid December 7, 2022 Share December 7, 2022 The jazzy 'Charlie Brown Christmas' soundtrack swings on after 57 years Quote The soundtrack has sold more than five million copies. Its nostalgia-fueled popularity has only grown, getting a crucial boost in 1998 when Starbucks began selling it in stores, and fed steadily by new products. The latest, a box set of outtakes from Guaraldi's recording sessions, was released this year... During the 1960s, jazz was closer to the mainstream and more likely to be played alongside pop music, he said. The music Guaraldi created for the soundtrack is ambiguous and more complex than most holiday music, Sloan said. Tied to warm feelings for illustrator Charles M. Schulz's classic comic page characters, time has made it traditional holiday music... Guaraldi never had the chance to see his music age into standards. He died of a heart attack in 1976, only 47 years old. "He's the best-known jazz musician whose name you don't know, because the music from the Christmas special has become so ubiquitous," Bang said. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/22122-peanuts-the-charlie-brown-and-snoopy-thread/page/3/#findComment-7781554

I know she’s just a kid, come on, she’s usually one of the smarter characters on the show! And as much as I admire Lucy’s subtle fuck-you to Lucy by giving her an egg, he should have skipped her.

Everyone treated him so horribly compared to how he treated them; he was nothing but nice to everyone. I don’t even remember the Valentine specials, but yes the school popularity contest of Valentines is pretty terrible. In many ways the kids were realistic mids that way.
