Good Grief., 15 September 2003

I'm not sure what everyone finds so great about this particular Peanuts cartoon. Perhaps it can be attributed to nothing more than nostalgia.

Charlie Brown desperately wants to receive a Valentine for Valentine's Day. He waits by the mailbox and checks it every few moments. One never arrives by mail but he optimistically brings a briefcase to school, expecting an avalanche of Valentines from his classmates. Of course, he doesn't get one.

There are also other things going on with other members of the Peanuts gang. Snoopy puts on a dull puppet show for Lucy. Lucy also finds the time to viciously smash up Schroeder's piano. Another storyline concerns Linus developing a rather unhealthy infatuation with his teacher.

I was greatly disappointed with a couple of things in "Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown". One was the fact that virtually every character except Schroeder was either rude or indifferent toward their so-called friends. When Schroeder is nice enough to stand up for Charlie Brown and show him some respect, Chuck shoves him aside so he can be patronized by a group of snotty girls. Great message for the kids watching. Skip this one and watch one of the other more worthy and heartfelt Peanuts animated specials. 2/10
