95: PIRATES, THIEVES AND A LICENSE TO HAVE FUN

When you think of Peanuts, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Wrong! Obviously, the answer is Shermy! The OG Peanuts superstar! Peanuts wouldn't exist without him. If that October 2, 1950 strip was just a boy and girl silently watch a round-headed kid walk by, also silently, it's unlikely Peanuts would have become the cultural icon it is today. I mean, at least Shermy thinks so probably. In this episode, we take a few minutes to break down who Shermy Plepler was and his impact (Or lack thereof. Let's be honest.) on the strip. We also look at This Month in Peanuts History for June and watch another "Peanuts by Schulz" titled "The Mysteries of Love". Good grief! That's a lot of show! Join us, won't you? Thanks to Kevin McLeod at Incompetech.com for creative commons use of his songs "Mining by Moonlight", "Bass Walker" and "Hidden Agenda".  Thanks to Sean Courtney for the "This Month in Peanuts History Theme".

88: COLOR ME EXCITED! IT'S SNOOPY TIME!

Charlie Brown and the gang ruled the comics pages for fifty years. As animated characters, they have appeared in five feature films, eight episodes of "This is America, Charlie Brown" , ten motion comics on iTunes, eighteen episodes of "The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show", and some forty-five TV specials. On this podcast, we're going to watch them all. Then we'll talk about what we liked, what we didn't. Remember, of all the Charlie Browns in world, you're the Charlie Browniest.

Love the show love the peanuts gang keep them coming!

Great show

EPISODE 6: It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and the third episode of The Charlie Brown & Snoopy Show, 

CHRISTMASTIME IS HERE...HAPPINESS AND CHEER! Well, here it is. Episode 8 has dropped faster than Santa coming down your chimney. For many, it's not Christmas until "A Charlie Brown Christmas" appears on their screens. Here at the podcast, we feel the same. We do a deep dive into the 1965 classic that almost didn't happen. Is the special more of a spectacle like a great, big, shiny aluminum Christmas tree, or is it more of an unassuming little twig of a tree that, with a little love, becomes a full, proud, symbol of the season? The Peanuts shorts airing on Cartoon Network that we watched and reviewed this month were "Out of Order" and "Always Right".  Here's where you can find those 1960's Life Magazine photos of Schulz. At the time of recording,  I overlooked the fact that this isn't actually a new offering. They were published a couple years ago. Sorry about that. Still fun to look at, though.

EPISODE 8: A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS

Paul Johnson

Good grief, happy holidays, everybody! Episode 32, IT'S CHRISTMASTIME AGAIN, CHARLIE BROWN, was just too darn big for one podcaster, so I called in a partner. Paul Johnson, host of "Total Stickcast" and a new show, "The Happy News Podcast" drops by. Together, we woof, meow, moo, whatever (you'll get that after this episode) through this story as Christmas commercialism gets revenge on Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty searches for the Christmas sheep within, and - hark! - Sally hears...well, you'll see. We've also got a "Peanuts by Schulz" short called "Christmas is Coming" and another in our ongoing "Random Strip of the Month" segment. If YOU would like to share your favorite strip, or even just pick one at random, just record your thoughts and email them to me at charliebrownpodcast@gmail.com  Big thanks to Paul Johnson. Go listen to him on "The Total Stickcast" podcast! Thanks to Kevin McLeod at Incomptech.com for creative commons use of his songs "Mining by Moonlight" and "Bass Walker".  Thanks to Henry Pope for the use of his "Linus &amp; Lucy" remix. Find his music on Soundcloud here.  This is a holiday episode, so how about a holiday book? Like this one! IN THE ST. NICK OF TIME, a sort of Santa Claus story for adults. Order it wherever books are sold, like here. Consider supporting the show financially on our Patreon page here. It's a Podcast, Charlie Brown - notes, episodes, social media. Atari Bytes - Hey!

EPISODE 32: IT'S CHRISTMASTIME AGAIN, CHARLIE BROWN - with special guest PAUL JOHNSON

Should old acquaintance be forgot?  No way! There's a party in Peanuts Town! First up this month, from 2003, the Van Pelt's youngest sibling Rerun just wants a dog for Christmas in the appropriately titled I WANT A DOG FOR CHRISTMAS, CHARLIE BROWN. Could Spike be the answer to his canine dreams? Maybe, IF Rerun can survive the rides on the back of Mom's bike and, in a frighteningly timely B-plot, allegations of harassment of a little girl with pigtails. Yes, really. Merry Christmas! The second half of our double-header finds Charlie Brown ringing in the new year burdened with that albatross of a novel "War and Peace", which he is assigned to read and report on over winter break in HAPPY NEW YEAR, CHARLIE BROWN from 1985 (though it actually first aired on January 1, 1986). Tolstoy! Musical Chair Death Matches! The Little Red-Haired Girl! Shots of root beer garnished with dog germs! We've also got a review of a "Peanuts by Schulz" short called "A Hard Winter" and we've also got another "Random Strip of the Month" submission! So grab your top hat and tails from Snoopy and join the fun! Thanks to Kevin McLeod at Incompetech.com for creative commons use of his songs "Mining by Moonlight" and "Bass Walker". Thanks also to Henry Pope for the use of his "Linus &amp; Lucy" remix. Check out his music on Soundcloud. Atari Bytes - Hey! That's my other show!

Please consider supporting the show financially on our Patreon page here. It's the holiday season!

EPISODE 20: I WANT A DOG FOR CHRISTMAS, CHARLIE BROWN & HAPPY NEW YEAR, CHARLIE BROWN

Andrew Farago

The usual giddy joy at dropping a new episode of the podcast is dampened a bit this time with the news of the loss of Charles M. Schulz's home and Craig Schulz's home in the horrendous wildfires ravaging California. While the property (including much valuable Schulz memorabilia) was lost, thankfully, Jean Schulz was evacuated safely. Our hearts go out to the Schulzes and all of California.  But the show goes on. And it's a good one. Episode 18 features my conversation with Andrew Farago, curator of the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco and the author of the new book THE COMPLETE PEANUTS FAMILY ALBUM: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO CHARLES M. SCHULZ'S CLASSIC CHARACTERS, which is out this month.  Because Halloween is upon us as well, we've also got a review of WHAT A NIGHTMARE, CHARLIE BROWN, a special from 1978 that turns out not to be so much spooky as, well....you'll have to listen to the show.  And, as always, we've got a "Peanuts by Schulz" short. This one is called "A Pretty Picture". And we check out another Random Strip of the Month. (Don't forget to email me your audio Random Strip submissions! Send those to charliebrownpodcast@gmail.com) My thanks to Kevin McLeod at Incompetech.com for creative commons use of his songs "Mining by Moonlight" and "Bass Walker".

In the latter, when we do the Pig-Pen hoedown, we really kick up some dust. In between, we have another "Random Strip of the Month" and a review of the short "Peanuts by Schulz" episode titled "Good for Nothing".  Thanks for Kevin McLeod at Incompetech.com for creative commons use of his songs "Bass Walker" and "Mining by Moonlight".  Thanks to Henry Pope for the use of his "Linus &amp; Lucy" remix.

EPISODE 29: IT'S FLASHBEAGLE, CHARLIE BROWN and THE CHARLIE BROWN & SNOOPY SHOW (ep. 13)

Episode 27 is shall we say...adventurous? Not all of us get to experience this month's Comic-Con adventure, so we have to make our own adventure, which is not a problem with the 1983 "IT'S AN ADVENTURE, CHARLIE BROWN" and, also from 1983, another episode of "THE CHARLIE BROWN &amp; SNOOPY SHOW". Marcie is a football star! Kite-eating trees! Running from the law! Angelic messages! And Charlie Brown's head in a sack! If that's not adventure, I don't know what is!

EPISODE 27: IT'S AN ADVENTURE, CHARLIE BROWN and THE CHARLIE BROWN & SNOOPY SHOW (ep. 11)

This month in episode 15 of the podcast we wade into the Peanuts neighborhood kiddie pool to take on the burning question: If a Peanuts character says "Rats" alone in the woods, does it make a sound? Also, we explore the mysteries of why Peppermint Patty is sneaking out in the early morning hours, why is crime so rampant in Peanuts Town, and where did Marcie get an automatic duck plucker? The episodes this month are: She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown, originally aired 2/25/80; episode 5 of "The Charlie Brown &amp; Snoopy Show" from 10/22/83; and we check out another Peanuts by Schulz short, "Train Your Dog". All this and so much more is waiting for you in the doghouse. Grab your supper dish and skate on over!

This one is...well, it's a also a thing that happened on TV. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/user?ty=h&amp;u=3244862" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Go to our Patreon page to help support the show.</a> Thanks to <a href="http://incompetech.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kevin McLeod at Incompetech.com</a> for the creative commons license to his songs "Bass Walker" and "Mining by Midnight".

EPISODE 28: WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED, CHARLIE BROWN? and THE CHARLIE BROWN & SNOOPY SHOW (ep 12)

STEPHEN LIND

For episode 24 of the podcast, it would be cool if I had a clever tie in to twenty-four hours in a day. But I don't. What I do have is my conversation with Stephen Lind, author of the 2015 book A Charlie Brown Religion, which is much more than a mere Schulz biography. Lind does a deep dive into Schulz's faith and outlook on the world. You need to read this. (After you listen to the conversation, of course.)  We also take a look at episode 9 of "The Charlie Brown &amp; Snoopy Show" from October 29, 1983, in which lots of people are cruel to other people and some of them get punched for it. Including a tree.  We also hear another "Random Strip of the Month" and a review of a "Peanuts by Schulz" short called "Telling Stories". Here's a link to the Tom Lehrer "New Math" bit we talked about. Thanks to Kevin McLeod at Incompetech.com for creative commons use of his songs "Mining by Moonlight" and "Bass Walker".  Thanks to Henry Pope for the use of his "Linus &amp; Lucy" remix. Check out his music on Soundcloud here. It's a Podcast, Charlie Brown - notes, social media and more. Atari Bytes - Hey! That's my other show!

EPISODE 24: GOOD GRIEF! AUTHOR STEPHEN LIND and THE CHARLIE BROWN & SNOOPY SHOW (ep. 9)

A B-O-Y N-A-M-E-D C-H-A-R-L-I-E B-R-U-H-N Darn it! I just lost the National Spelling Bee! AUGHHHHHHHH! Well, at least I can empathize with Charlie Brown's trials and tribulations in his first big screen outing, A BOY NAMED CHARLIE BROWN, a box office hit in 1969. Charlie Brown has a shot at shedding his "failure face" when he wins the school spelling bee and heads off to the - gasp! - National Spelling Bee! In the B plot, Linus is separated from his trusty blanket. It's not pretty. So, are the kids in the Peanuts gang ready for their silver screen close-ups? Let's grab some popcorn, roll film and find out! This month's Peanuts by Schulz review was "A Day With Snoopy".  Here's a link to the Comics Beat article about the Chinese Peanuts building blocks. My thanks to Kevin McLeod at Incompetech.com for creative commons use of his songs "Mining by Moonlight" and "Bass Walker". Thanks also to Henry Pope for use of his "Linus &amp; Lucy" remix.

EPISODE 41: ACTOR BRAD KESTEN, THE VOICE OF CHARLIE BROWN

You might say HOME is the unifying theme, if you're inclined to look for one, in this month's Peanuts episodes. In IT'S A MYSTERY, CHARLIE BROWN, Woodstock has lost his home - someone stole his nest! - and in THIS IS AMERICA, CHARLIE BROWN: THE NASA SPACE STATION, the Peanuts gang is at home in the far-flung future of the mid-1990s aboard the brand new International Space Station, looking down upon Earth, home to us all. See how that all ties together? Also this month, we take a look at "Brothers &amp; Sisters" one of the Peanuts shorts produced in 2014 and currently running on Cartoon Network. We also talk about the unaired 1963 Charles Schulz documentary "A Boy Named Charlie Brown". Thanks to Kevin McLeod at Incompetech.com for creative commons use of his songs "Bass Walker" and "Mining by Moonlight". Thanks to Henry Pope for the use of his "Linus &amp; Lucy" remix.

Episode 4: Play It Again, Charlie Brown and the second episode of The Charlie Brown & Snoopy Show

Episode 25 of the podcast is a celebration! No, really, it's in the title. We're watching A CHARLIE BROWN CELEBRATION from 1982. I'll bet Lucy hates that concept. Is the party that is this HOUR LONG episode worth show up for?  The undercard for this month's episode is a new segment on the podcast. I do a deep dive into the origins and history of Snoopy's alter-ego The World Famous Author, which, of all his personas, is the one most near-and-dear to my heart.  Of course, we also have a new "Random Strip of the Month" and check out another "Peanuts by Schulz" short. This one is called "Man's Best Friend".  Whether it's bright and sunny or a Dark and Stormy Night, I hope you enjoy this month's episode!

EPISODE 25: A CHARLIE BROWN CELEBRATION & THE PODCAST DOES A CHARACTER STUDY: SNOOPY, THE WORLD FAMOUS AUTHOR

Jason Yungbluth

On episode 36, it's the return of author/illustrator Jason Yungbluth! Several months ago, Jason appeared on the show and offhandedly commented that his "favorite" Peanuts special is the 1976 "IT'S ARBOR DAY, CHARLIE BROWN". So...I invited him back to the show to defend that dubious position. That'll teach him to express an opinion! We also have a Random Strip of the Month and a review of a "Peanuts by Schulz" short episode called "Fly". Plus, the usual mixed bag of Peanuts news and musings. Thanks to Kevin McLeod at Incompetech.com for creative commons use of his songs "Bass walker" and "Mining by Moonlight".  Thanks to Henry Pope for the use of his "Linus &amp; Lucy" remix. Find that and more of his music on Soundcloud here. It's a Podcast, Charlie Brown - show notes and what not Atari Bytes - Hey! That's my other show!
