Was this a real Charlie Brown television special or did we make it up?

Did Charlie Brown also celebrate Easter and the 4th of July?

Who could forget A Charlie Brown Christmas? That 1965 special is credited for bringing real Christmas trees back to American living rooms and killing the plastic tree craze. 

The holiday cartoon was also so popular that it spawned sequels like It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. There have been a bunch of Peanuts holiday specials. A lot. More than you remember. More than 40, actually.

With that many, they must have celebrated every holiday, right? Not quite! See if you can tell the difference between a REAL Charlie Brown television special — and one we made up!

Wish these were still aired for the kiddos:
The Birth of The Constitution: This is America Charlie Brown on the 4th of July and “This is America Charlie Brown” Mayflower Voyagers on Thanksgiving.

12/12. Strangely, they didn't make many holiday-themed Peanuts shorts as you think. Anything that sounds off, chances are, it's real.

That's gives me an idea I need to pitch to the networks. "You're Going to Prison Charlie Brown."
The whole Peanuts gang are framed for murder. It's up to their crack lawyer Snoopy and his trusty sidekick Woodstock to free them.

9/12, they sure made a lot of Charlie Brown specials. Can't wait for The Hanukkah one.

12 of 12. The Flashbeagle special was made when Flashdance came out! WORST Peanuts Special Ever!!
I didn't see it, but I remember hearing the name. Guess it's just as well.
Listen to Lucy.
Listen to Lucy.
It's the bonus episode, on Snoopy's Reunion / It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown.

That New Year's special is the one I hated. Poor Charlie Brown was the only one who had to do a report over Christmas vacation about War and Peace, couldn't enjoy the New Year's festivities, and still ended up getting a D- for his efforts? Poor Chuck.

10/12. Never heard of Flashbeagle, but I'm going to have to look it up.

You got 11 out of 12

Me, too. Missed the "Spring Training" one (I don't remember that special very well).

However, there was one mistake: "Happy New Year, Charlie Brown" first aired January 1, *1985,* *not* 1986. I distinctly remember watching it on New Year's Day 1985, and I also have the special on DVD (as a bonus feature with "I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown"). The closing credits clearly show a 1985 copyright.

Maybe IMDB is wrong, too.
