Episodes
He’s a Bully Charlie Brown
He’s a Bully Charlie Brown follows most of the Peanuts gang on their trip to summer camp, along with Linus and Lucy’s little brother, Rerun. Before leaving for camp, Rerun discovers his grandfather’s prized marble collection in the attic and decides to bring it with him. When the gang gets to camp, Rerun meets another marble player, who, under the guise of teaching him how to play, ends up taking Rerun’s entire collection. It’ll be up to Charlie Brown to win Rerun’s marbles back from the bully. Will he be able to do it?
It Was a Short Summer Charlie Brown
It Was a Short Summer Charlie Brown follows the gang to summer camp again, in an earlier adventure, as it seems to be the first time for most of them. This time the camp is structured around activities that pit the boys against the girls. The girls are soundly defeating the boys at every activity, causing low moral on the boy’s side of camp. In a last ditch attempt to beat the girls at something, anything, the boys challenge Lucy to an arm-wrestling contest against Snoopy in his Masked Marvel persona. Will Snoopy be able to pull out a victory for the boys?
Snoopy: Team Manager
This episode of The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show includes four shorts. In the first short, Shoveling, we find Lucy trying to start a garden. In typical Lucy style, she doesn’t want to do things herself, so she gets Linus and Snoopy to help her.
In Rerun, we follow the little one-year-old Rerun, as he goes through a few typical days. He plays in the sand and endures terrifying rides on the back of his mother’s bicycle, all the while narrating everything to us in his adorable toddler voice.
In Lost Blanket, you guessed it; Linus loses his blanket. In an attempt to hide his blanket from the clutches of his blanket-hating grandmother, Linus mails it to himself. When it doesn’t arrive, Linus freaks out. Will he be able to get it back?
In the final short, The Manager, Snoopy quits the baseball team. In an attempt to get him to come back, Charlie Brown lets him be the manager. Will the team be able to cope with their temperamental new manager?
