This is another half-hour Peanuts special and this time it is about Valentine's Day. it actually started nicely with Charlie and Lucy an the mailbox waiting for a valentine's letter, but this is also pretty much where it peaked already. None of the action that followed in the next 25 minutes was really interesting, funny or dramatically relevant. yet, as always, this got nominated for an Emmy Award. No idea why though. Television, especially animated, must have been at a lowpoint 40 years ago. The director is Phil Roman again. He made mane Peanuts short films and the script comes of course from Charles M. Schulz again. Admittedly I may be a bit biased as I have never been too big on the Peanuts, but there are actually episodes that I rated several stars higher, so this Valentine's Day special is not among the best Charlie Brown and the gang have to offer. Not recommended.
