SHB_73 Review of It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown

It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown (1977 TV Short)

Worst Peanuts special ever

[1/10 · 17 December 2010]

I have to be honest, I was never a big Peanuts fan mainly because of specials like this. This is one of the few shows which made me want to kick my TV because it made absolutely no sense. The only good thing about it is Charlie Brown finally gets a chance to kiss the little red-headed girl he has been chasing. But the events leading up to it I found were totally unfair to Charlie Brown. The Peanuts gang are playing a football game and Lucy does what she always does to Charlie Brown: she pulls the ball away whenever Charlie has to kick a field goal or kick off, She even pulls it away when he has a chance to win the game. What gets me mad is the fact that everybody blames Charlie Brown for losing the game. Does no one on the team see Lucy pulling the ball away!! To add more insult during the homecoming dance Peppermint Patty continues to belittle him and to make it worse Lucy joins in the teasing! I can't believe Charles Schultz approved this show! We know Charlie Brown is supposed to be the hard-luck loser but this time it wasn't his fault! It was Lucy! (Did I mention how much I hate Lucy.)It is a shame that Schultz passed away without letting Charlie Brown finally kick the football. But this special is a disgrace.
