“The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show” was a Saturday morning show that ran in ’83 & ’84. It was a direct lift from the Peanuts comic strips with nothing added except when absolutely necessary. You can kind of figure out what the three panels were if you try hard. It created some problems though: without Snoopy’s thought balloons how were you supposed to know what he was saying since DOGS CAN’T TALK? So you lose a few punch lines. You also recognize quick that Peanuts rarely gave a happy ending. Who needs a happy ending? Things going wrong is always more fun to watch, isn’t it?
Thanks Macleans!
