Review of A Charlie Brown Celebration

When most people think of Charlie Brown specials, they think of the "big three"..."Christmas", "Thanksgiving" and "Great Pumpkin". But what is often miss are the many other specials that are equally as entertaining. One such example is this 1982 offering. "Celebration" consists of a group of segments of unrelated stories, all lifted from the newspaper strips. Stories included the kids in school and their off the wall answers to the teacher's questions, a field trip to a field and Linus in a tough spot, Lucy tormenting Schroeder to get him to notice her, Peppermint Patty's enrollment of herself in a dog agility class and thinking it passing as a school diploma, Marcy and Peppermint Patty trying to obtain caps for their baseball team, and Charlie Brown winding up in the hospital. Each segment is loaded with very funny dialogue...the Peppermint Patty parts being a complete laugh riot! This special is not serious in any way, just 100% comedy that WILL make you laugh.
