Anyone had the chance to see this special on the man behind Charlie Brown?

Unfortunately I missed it! Not that I needed to see it.... he's got a whole museum that I can visit any time I like just down the road.

Yes, I was lucky enough to catch it. It's a great tribute to Schulz. It really gave you some insight into some of the "angst" that helped create many of the characters in Peanuts. It included interviews with many who knew him, including the woman who inspired the "little-red-haired girl." Plus, it showed clips of The Royal Guardsmen singing "Snoopy and the Red Baron." That was cool! It's the first time I've ever actually seen footage of them.

It's repeating in my area next week, so check your local PBS schedules for possible repeats.

Aw. I missed it yesterday. But I really had been meaning to see it but I forgot the time that it came on, though. Hopefully it will come on again, though.
