  • 001. A Charlie Brown Christmas – 12/9/1965
    • Charlie Brown (Peter Robbins) is feeling depressed around the holiday. Not getting Christmas cards, his sister Sally’s (Kathy Steinberg) greedy wish list for Santa, and Snoopy’s (Bill Melendez) entry into a decoration contest all contribute to his downtrodden feeling. Lucy Van Pelt (Tracy Stratford) offers him psychiatric advice and appoints him director of the school Christmas play. Charlie can’t get anyone to take the play seriously and takes a break to go pick out a Christmas tree, coming back with the most meager tree imaginable. He gets chastised for the tree and has a meltdown, demanding that someone tells him what Christmas is really all about. Lucy’s brother Linus (Christopher Shea) recites Luke, Chapter 2, Verses 8-14. Charlie leaves the auditorium to go decorate the tree, plucking an ornament from Snoopy’s dog house – which has one first prize in the contest. The tree nearly collapses under the weight of one ornament and Charlie has another breakdown. The kids go behind him and fully decorate the tree from the doghouse, then wish Charlie Brown a Merry Christmas, and break into Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. Ann Altieri is the voice of Frieda, Chris Doran of Schroeder and Shermy, Geoffrey Ornstein as Pigpen, Sally Dryer of Violet, Karen Mendelson as Patty. 6/8/14

The hardware store merchant Mr. Hennessy offers to sponsor the team in a real league and supply uniforms, but the kids have moved on to other summer activities. He manages into talking them into returning, but then finds out that the league will not accept dogs for females.

They board their buses and mourn the loss of their summer.

Snoopy’s advice is for Lucy to kiss him, but that makes Schroeder disgusted. Peppermint Patty arranges for Schroeder to play piano at a P.T.A. benefit show and lets Lucy take the credit. After she tells him, Peppermint Patty drops the bomb that the concert is for rock music only and Schroeder won’t be allowed to play rock music. Charlie Brown puts the old combo of himself, Pigpen, and Snoopy back together and hopes to talk Schroeder into the act. Schroeder reluctantly agrees, but then backs out just before the meeting.

Charlie Brown is put in charge of his campaign and he in turn assigns advertising to Snoopy and Woodstock (Bill Melendez). Lucy even gets him onto a radio talk show, but he doesn’t have the chance to answer any questions from the inept callers.  Linus has a decisive lead through his campaign promises which include radical improvements at the school, but his numbers start to drop after he includes a rant about the Great Pumpkin in his final speech.

When they arrive, Peppermint Patty and Marcie meet up with Charlie Brown, Sally, and Snoopy and they all wander into the supermarket by accident, mistaking the food and displays for works of art. During the visit, Charlie Brown overhears Peppermint Patty call him boring and wishy-washy, even though she is just trying to hide her feelings, but it hurts him nonetheless. In order to make up for it, Peppermint Patty invites Charlie Brown to work on his report with her. Marcie gives him a kiss on Peppermint Patty’s behalf. Back home Linus shows slides from the field trip and Charlie Brown realizes that he was in the wrong place and fears that he is going to fail.

The kids all go shopping and Sally gets new shoes, Snoopy buys Woodstock a birdhouse, and Peppermint Patty gets more eggs.

Woodstock makes his new home luxurious, but it gets destroyed when Snoopy gets his nose stuck in it, so they go back to the store as well. This time Marcie boils the eggs, but only after cracking them open. Linus once again reassures them that the Easter Beagle will bring colored eggs. Lucy takes her colored eggs out to hide them, and as she does, Snoopy picks them up behind her.

During the game Lucy scores a home run with the stipulation that Schroeder will kiss her, but forgoes the kiss irritated that this is the only way he will kiss her. Amazingly through a series of catches by Snoopy, the scarecrow, and Rerun (Vinny Dow), and the fact that Peppermint Patty can’t find the bases among the foliage, Charlie Brown’s team maintains their lead until the last inning… at which time the game has to be called because of rain.

Franklin is voiced by Ronald Hendrix, Marcie by Casey Carlson, and Freida by Roseline Rubens.

  • 042. Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown – 8/29/2003
    • Baseball season is trying to start and Charlie Brown dreads the idea of going through another season with Lucy. However she not only forces her way on the team, but she expects pay as well. She gets on his nerves all through practice. No one can sleep the night before opening day, and then they all play their first of ten games against Peppermint Patty’s (Daniel Hansen) team. Soon Charlie Brown’s team has lost ten games, so he gets the idea to start making trades. Peppermint Patty has no interest in receiving Lucy, but she agrees to trade Snoopy for five of her players. Charlie Brown agrees, only to be berated by Snoopy, Schroeder, and Linus. Charlie Brown rips up the contract, but that works for Peppermint Patty as the five players refused to play for Charlie Brown anyway. Although they keep winning, Peppermint Patty has had enough of Marcie (Melissa Montoya) so she agrees to trade her and a pizza for Lucy. The trade doesn’t benefit either team, as Lucy drives Peppermint Patty crazy, and Marcie admits she has no interest in baseball. Eventually they trade back, but Lucy is no better whatsoever and even is a harbinger for the next game to get rained out. 10/3/19
  • 043. I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown – 12/9/2003
    • After an exhausting bike ride with his mother, Rerun (Jimmy Bennett) requests that Sally (Hannah Leigh Dworkin) allow Snoopy come out and play, but she denies him because Snoopy is resting. He then goes home and annoys Lucy (Ashley Rose Orr) and Linus so much that Lucy throws him out in the snow. In school, Rerun asks a little girl (Kaitlyn Maggio) to run away to Paris, which leads to him being suspended for harassment. He then writes a letter to Santa and asks for a dog, but Lucy tells him that their mother doesn’t want him to have a dog. Rerun isn’t deterred and heads to the Pet Store to buy dog supplies. Meanwhile Lucy continues to pursue Schroeder at his piano, and when he plays, Snoopy dances with Rerun and Charlie Brown (Adam Taylor Gordon). Rerun inquires if Snoopy has any siblings, so Charlie Brown tells him about Marbles, Andy, Olaf, and Spike. Marbles had left after a day because he had a wild ride on the doghouse, and the other two left to look for their brother Spike after destroying Snoopy’s doghouse partying. Charlie Brown tells Rerun that he can play with Snoopy, so Snoopy comes out, shoots a couple of baskets, and then goes back inside. However when Snoopy realizes that Rerun has warm cookies, he spends some more time with him. The next day, Snoopy hands Rerun a rejection slip when he tries to play with him. He keeps turning him down until Rerun offers to buy him from Charlie Brown. He is denied again, so he turns to asking Santa Claus, who is actually Snoopy in the costume. Rerun can talk about nothing but getting a dog, but he is continuously shot down by his mother and Lucy because they say dogs take too much work. Snoopy is busy giving Sally a ride on his Ace Airline dog house which crash lands in the snow. Snoopy gets a letter from Spike detailing how he made a Christmas tree out of a tumbleweed. Rerun asks Snoopy to send Spike a letter to come be his dog. He builds him a snowman to welcome it, but it melts before he arrives. The scrawny Spike arrives along with his cactus, and Lucy quickly fattens him up. Spike and Rerun play cards and work puzzles, then take a ride on the back of Rerun’s mother’s bike. She finally tells him that he cannot keep Spike, so Charlie Brown tries to get Violet (Kaitlyn Maggio), Franklin (Jake Miner), and Schroeder to adopt him. Ultimately no one will, so Spike heads back to his desert town of Needles. Lucy tries to distract Rerun by getting him involved with the Christmas play, but when they put it on, Rerun can’t remember his lines. Later Rerun asks Charlie Brown if Snoopy can pull him on his sled, but Snoopy comes out and has Rerun pull him instead. Rerun acknowledges that dogs are a lot of trouble. 41 minutes. Jake Miner is the voice of Pig Pen. 3/19/20
  • 044. He’s a Bully, Charlie Brown – 11/20/2006
    • Most of the gang takes off for summer camp at Camp Indian Lake, although Peppermint Patty (Rory Thost) has to stay behind to attend summer school, and Lucy (Stephanie Patton) simply decides she wants to stay in her comfortable home. Rerun finds his grandfather Felix Van Pelt’s marbles in the attic, and expresses interest in becoming a marble champion and takes his grandfather’s Lucky Shooter along with him. Upon arrival at camp, they meet an obnoxious kid named Joe Agate (Taylor Lautner) who quickly runs afoul of Snoopy. He is a marble expert who specializes in taking everyone’s marbles. Rerun wants to learn how to play, so he looks to Joe to teach him, but Joe ends up taking all of Rerun’s marbles and won’t give them back. Charlie Brown  (Spencer Robert Scott) gets angry at this, and wants to take them back but has no idea how to play. He goes into intensive training with Snoopy. Meanwhile, Marcie (Jessica Gordon) has been torturing Peppermint Patty by pretending to have intimate moments with Charlie Brown, so Peppermint Patty makes the trip to camp to check up on things.  Charlie Brown challenges Joe to a match and although he does well, he is bested by Joe and loses all of his marbles. Snoopy however has two reserves hidden in his sunglasses, so Charlie Brown continues the game, and takes Joe’s favorite shooter. He offers him a chance to win it back if he will play for all the marbles. Charlie Brown winds up victorious, but offers to give Joe back his original marbles. Joe refuses and Charlie Brown goes home the victor, which Lucy can hardly believe. Sierra Marcoux is Sally. Benjamin Bryan is Linus.

  • 045. Happiness Is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown – 10/1/2011 (released on home video on 3/29/11)
    • Linus (Austin Lux) is digging holes all over the neighborhood looking for his blanket. In flashback, Charlie Brown and the gang are playing baseball and Linus gets caught up in his blanket, which Lucy (Grace Rolek) then uses to step on and get him out. Charlie Brown (Trenton Rogers) warns him that other kids make fun of him because of the blanket. Snoopy (Andy Beall) takes the opportunity to drag him around the neighborhood by the blanket. Meanwhile Lucy takes every opportunity she can get to profess her love to Schroeder (Trenton Rogers), but he continuously blows her off. She becomes so annoyed that she smashes his Beethoven bust to smithereens, but she simply goes to the closet and grabs another one to replace it. Charlie Brown continues to struggle with his kite and when he gets wrapped up in a tree with it, he defies Violet (Blesst Bowden) and Shermy (Andy Pessoa) to say anything about it. Lucy tells Linus that their grandmother is coming in a week and that she will surely take his blanket away from him, as none of her other grandchildren are using a blanket. Linus tries to prove that he can live without his blanket, but begins using a dish towel as a substitute. After Sally (Amanda Pace) professes her love to Linus and throws his blanket in a tree when he doesn’t respond, Linus turns to Charlie Brown and asks him to hold on to the blanket no matter what he says. But every time he asks for it back, Charlie Brown gives it to him. Linus then turns to Lucy in her psychiatrist booth for help, so she takes the blanket and hides it in the closet until dinner. Linus again uses several surrogates including the curtain, second base, a tree branch, and Snoopy’s ear. Eventually Charlie Brown talks her into giving the blanket back to him, but she continues to count down the day until their grandmother arrives. Meanwhile Violet and Patty (Ciara Bravo) give Pigpen (Shane Baumel) a hard time about his filthiness. Snoopy attacks the blanket again and steals it, and when Lucy recovers it from him this time, she uses it to replace another one of Charlie Brown’s destroyed kites. Linus attempts to get it back, but it slips through his fingers and the blanket kite takes off and lands in the ocean. Linus takes out a missing blanket ad, and while he waits for news, he tells Charlie Brown that the blanket soaks up his fears and frustrations. Charlie Brown thinks about all of the fears and frustrations in his life and can obviously relate. Linus’s blanket is eventually found by the Air Rescue Service and he gets notice that they are mailing it back to him. Although Snoopy intercepts it, Linus gets it back and hides it under the couch cushion so his grandmother won’t find it. Lucy finds it and buries it which brings us back to the beginning of the story. Linus had dug everywhere with no success, but Snoopy is able to smell it and dig it up. Snoopy give it back, but not before taking Linus on a run and destroying the other kids’ various items. Linus is quick to point out that every single one of them has some sort of insecurity they are dealing with… except for Pigpen. Grandma comes and does in fact try to rid Linus of his blanket, but he has fooled her by clinging to a dish towel, so she only takes that away before leaving. Snoopy disguises himself as Grandma to give him a final scare, before running off with his blanket once again. NOTE: This special is illustrated in early 1960’s style Peanuts, and with the exception of brief appearances from Woodstock (Andy Beall), all characters are from this era. Frieda, Faron, 5, 4, and 3 all make appearances in silent parts. 46 minutes. 7/1/20
  • 046. Snoopy Presents: For Auld Lang Syne – 12/10/2021
    • As December hits and the kids are excited to play in the snow, Lucy (Isabella Leo) is getting the house ready for Christmas. She is looking forward to a visit from their Grandmother, while Linus (Wyatt White) dreads that she’ll doubtlessly try to get his blanket away from him and tries to find a place to hide it. As the month progresses, Charlie Brown (Etienne Kellici) realizes he hasn’t fulfilled any of his New Years resolutions throughout the year. He tries to watch Citizen Kane to fulfill one, but Sally tells him how it ends. He goes to see Lucy at her psychiatrist stand, and she tells him to concentrate on smaller goals, like instead of building the world’s tallest snowman, to just build an average one. He tries this, but fails. As Christmas approaches, Snoopy’s (Terry McGurrin) family Spike (Rob Tinkler), Andy (Mark Andrews), Olaf (Rob Tinkler), Marbles (Cory Doran), and Belle (Katie Griffin), all arrive for the holidays. Spike brings along a photo of them as puppies and wants to get an updated one taken. Woodstock (Rob Tinkler) attempts one, but the camera goes berserk. On Christmas Eve, Lucy is bubbling with anticipation to see her grandmother. As she makes cookies, and hangs the stockings, her grandmother calls and tells her that she can’t make it. Lucy is crestfallen, and goes through all of the Christmas Eve and Christmas day traditions, but doesn’t enjoy any of it without her grandmother. She goes to be that night feeling unloved, but she has a much brighter outlook in the morning, and plans to prove she had friends by hosting a New Years Eve party, which she names “Lucy’s Gala: A New Years Eve Celebration of Elegant Perfection.” She enlists Linus to sing Auld Lang Syne, but with different lyrics honoring her party. She uses the money’s she’s earned from Charlie Brown’s needing her psychiatric help to rent a ballroom. She hires Snoopy and his siblings to play their Dixieland music at the party. She bring invitations around to Charlie Brown, Sally (Hattie Kragten), Franklin (Caleb Bellavance), Pigpen (Jacob Soley), Tapioca Pudding (Harley Ruzinsky), Violet (Charlie Boyle), Patty (Natasha Nathan), Peppermint Patty (Lexi Perri), Marcie (Holly Gorski), and Schroeder (Matthew Mucci), giving them all something to contribute to the party. Linus and Charlie Brown work on the decorations and the balloon drop. On the night of the party, everyone gets all dressed up. Spike tries again to take a photo of all of his siblings, but they all start a snowball fight and his camera gets broken. Spike is so upset that he walks out on all of them and heads to the bus stop. The party begins without a band, and nearly everything that can go wrong does, mostly all centered around Lucy complaining about everyone’s contributions and behavior, which doesn’t live up to her expectations. When the band shows up, they are too downtrodden to play upbeat music. She begins ordering everyone around, and then tells Linus that the only he can save the party is to dress in a gaudy, Elton John-esque outfit and sing Auld Lang Syne. Charlie Brown prematurely releases the balloons and causes all of the decorations to collapse. Lucy becomes so frustrated that she storms out and ends the party. As she walks home that night, she hears the New Years countdown and hears everyone celebrate inside their homes. Snoopy and siblings spot Spike waiting for the bus as they walk home, and they surround him. When the bus comes, Spike doesn’t get on it. Lucy goes home and cries in her bed because she’s unlovable. Linus and Charlie Brown show up to comfort her and tell her that they love her. Lucy thinks she’s ruined everybody’s night and has lost her friends. Charlie Brown then shows her that all of her friends are downstairs. They set the clock back and countdown New Years again, and then start the party all over. As they all dance and Snoopy and his siblings play music, Franklin snaps a great photo of the family. Lucy tells Charlie Brown to write down a resolution to be a good friend in the New Years, then tells him that he’s already fulfilled it. Linus leads the kids in singing Auld Lang Syne, and Lucy finally understand the meaning behind it. The next day Lucy calls her grandmother and tells her all about the party. She also tells her that she can work on Linus’s blanket when she visits for Lucy’s birthday. Jackson Reid is the voice of Thibault and Maynard. Will Bhaneja is the voice of Shermy.

  • 047. Snoopy Presents: It’s the Small Things, Charlie Brown – 4/15/2022
    • Charlie Brown (Tyler Nathan) has been having a recurring dream that his baseball team defeats Peppermint Patty and her team in a huge stadium game, but he is woken up being splashed in the face as Snoopy and Woodstock and their bird friends fill the swimming pool. With very little confidence, Charlie Brown and his team take to the field, only to be interrupted by Peppermint Patty, Marcie, and their team arriving on their bikes and taunting them, and also blasting the horrible condition of their field, and finally dropping their challenge to face them in the next game. This leaves the team with very little confidence, but Charlie Brown is able to rouse them to action. At age five, Sally now considers herself old enough to join the team, but even though Charlie Brown gives her a chance, she fails miserably during practice at being able to make simplest of plays. As the other continue practice, she lays on the pitcher’s mound feeling sorry for herself, and encounters a dandelion which she considers to be an lonely underdog just like herself. When the team attempts to take the field, they are faced with Sally Brown who has sworn to protect the flower and refuses to leave its side. Everyone on the team hold Charlie Brown responsible, but he tells them that she will get bored and go home soon. However, she winds up staying the night with her ‘flower’ and is still there the next morning on game day. Charlie Brown doesn’t know what to do, so he goes to see Lucy the Psychiatrist and asks her to talk to Sally. She heads to the pitcher’s mound, but winds up joining her on the mound and helps to take up her cause to save the flower. She goes around the neighborhood with a megaphone and rouses up even more interest in saving the flower, bringing kids from miles around to have a festival of face painting and fun on the baseball field. Schroeder provides the music, and the kids write a song on the spot sung by Sally called It’s the Small Things, Charlie Brown. Just when Charlie Brown thinks things couldn’t get worse, Peppermint Patty and her team show up for the game. Marcie threatens to put them down as a forfeit, but Charlie Brown thinks that if he can transplant the dandelion to a flowerpot, he can get the kids to follow it elsewhere and clear the field. Sally is resistant to this idea and tries to stop him, but as they scuffle, the dandelion snaps and closes up in Sally’s hand. She sullenly leaves the field with the dead dandelion. Charlie Brown feels so terrible that he no longer wants to play the game, and as he goes after Sally, he notices that the field is suddenly adorned with flowers and has been cleaned up by the kids. He apologizes to Sally and says that even though he didn’t give the flower the respect it deserves, he cares about her. He brings her back to the field to show her how beautiful it now looks. The dandelion then opens back up in its new form, and the pappus scatter in the wind onto the field. With the new field now cleaned up and ready to open, Charlie Brown christens their new team the Dandelions and makes Sally the Assistant Manager. They play their game against Peppermint Patty’s team and lose 100-0. Before she leaves, Peppermint Patty reminds Charlie Brown that even though they lost, they now have a beautiful field to play in. Charlie Brown notes that she’s right, but it would have been nice to win. Beatrice Schneider is the voice of Lydia. Maria Nash is the voice of Eudora. Even Sheppard-Greenhow is the voice of 5. 38 minutes. 7/24/22
  • 048. Snoopy Presents: To Mom (and Dad), With Love – 5/6/2022
    • Charlie Brown is optimistic about the upcoming football season now that he has handed over the reigns as coach to Peppermint Patty. She arrives and starts the team on calisthenics, but when Pigpen arrives late and mentions that it is because of long lines where he was buying his Mother’s Day card, it suddenly dawns on everyone that it is Mothers Day the next day. As Peppermint Patty has Snoopy and Woodstock doing play demonstrations, the kids all chatter about what they are going to get their mothers. Peppermint Patty becomes annoyed, and even after the kids leave to do their Mothers Day prep, she and Marcie continue demonstrating plays. She finally admits to Marcie that she hates Mothers Day since she has never had a mother. Meanwhile, Linus decides to write his mother a letter, and Lucy works on painting her a picture. When the watercolors all run, she switches her plan and creates a crown for her mother to wear. Schroeder works on a sonata for his mother, and Franklin makes a book of hug coupons. Charlie Brown and Sally decide to make their mother breakfast in bed, but they wind up destroying the kitchen instead. After cleaning it all up, they go shopping and buy an ice cream cake. Peppermint Patty discusses her situation with Marcie, and then decides to celebrate her father for Mothers Day since he has done all of the motherly things for her in her life. They go shopping at a card star, but she becomes irritated that everything is geared toward mothers and not fathers. She starts to get furious at the mention of Mothers Day, and when she hears Charlie Brown talking about his Mothers Day cake over and over again, she screams in his ear, causing his cake to fly into the air and land on the crown that Lucy is test-wearing. Peppermint Patty is apologetic, and then decides that the perfect gift for her father is to spend the day with him and make each other laugh, which seems to always be when he is happiest. With the crown destroyed, Lucy makes her mother a nice card, but can’t think of anything to write in it. She and Linus then agree to put his letter into her card, and jointly give it to their parents. As they are reading it out loud, we see a montage of all of the kids giving the mothers their gifts. Woodstock recalls the love of his mother and how she took away his fear of flying. He and Snoopy set off to find her by traveling through the woods, encounter a harrowing whitewater rafting experience, and then camp out overnight. They have fun roasting marshmallows, but soon they are scared out of the woods by the sounds of howling and growling. They finally arrive at Woodstock’s mother’s nest, but only find a note from her saying she has gone. They head home, and Snoopy gently puts Woodstock to be in his nest. On Mother’s Day, Woodstock gives Snoopy a flower. Back in the woods, bunny rabbits (Rob Tinkler) are now roasting marshmallows at the campfire site, and laughing over their fake growling and howling voices that had scared Snoopy and Woodstock away. 38 minutes. 7/27/22
  • 049. Snoopy Presents: Lucy’s School – 8/12/2022
    • The kids are ecstatic when school ends for the Summer, as they run down the halls and go out and experience Summer life to the fullest. As the season begins to wind down, the kids are dumbfounded when they see “Back to School” sales begin. They all take a trip to check out the new school they will be attending, which is much larger and more imposing than the one they have left. Lucy doesn’t seem particularly nervous about it until the others start talking about how hard it will be to maneuver, remember locker numbers, and possibly be in classes apart from each other. As the other kids go school shopping, Lucy heads to the library where they have all the answers. After doing some research, she realizes that she and the others can take a test and if they pass, they may be able to drop out of school and be on permanent Summer break. She offers to use the knowledge in her head to teach the others during their last week of Summer break to be able to pass the test. She even lets Snoopy into her school when he brings her some flowers. Linus is particularly skeptical, and Marcie and Franklin soon start to question her methods as well. She starts the class in her backyard, then they move on to playing Bingo for their math lessons, and then to the mini golf course to check out the London hole with the London Bridge and Big Ben, and the Airplane hole that has a plaque dedicated to Amelia Earhart. Marcie and Franklin encourage Linus to talk to Lucy and convince her that there’s no way this method of teaching will help them. Linus gets in contact with their old teacher Miss Othmar, and she points Linus in the direction where he can find a practice copy of the test they are planning to take. Lucy is furious when she finds out he went behind her back, but when she sees the test, she realizes that she’s going to teach a lot more. While the other kids go to the movies, Lucy goes shopping to fill up on the necessary books and supplies to hold the classes in an actual classroom setting in her garage. As the starts to teach each subject, she realizes that she isn’t qualified, and eventually tells them that this isn’t going to work and it was just a pipe dream, causing the kids to all leave in disappointment. Linus tells her that he is proud of her for recognizing when she is in over her head. She admits to him that the only reason she was trying to test out of school is because she was nervous about going to the new school. Linus vows that he will be next to her when they arrive. The first day of school finally comes, and they all wait at the bus stop. Although Charlie Brown (again played by Etienne Killici) oversleeps, he makes it the bus in time, although Snoopy is blocked by the bus driver from boarding the bus. Lucy is still nervous, but Peppermint Patty sits by her and tells Lucy that she did some more research on Amelia Earhart and tells Lucy that Amelia reminds her of Lucy with the way she is a courageous trailblazer. When the bus pulls up, all of the kids stare out the window like deer in the headlights, but it is Lucy who finally heads to the front of the bus and encourages everyone to get up and start their first day of school. Linus suddenly becomes scared as well, but Lucy reminds him that he told her that he’d be right with her. Lucy winds up spending some of her day helping and befriending other student show seem nervous on their first day. She & Him perform the songs All Summer Long and Back to School.

Peppermint Patty finds Marcie’s help invaluable but blows her off when Marcie questions why the caddy doesn’t get her name on the championship trophies. Meanwhile, the current class president Franklin announces the upcoming election for the next president. Among the candidates are Lucy and Pigpen (Lucien Duncan-Reid). Peppermint Patty encourages Marcie to run, but she shudders at the notion of the being in public spotlight and getting constant attention. The school has added pizza to their menu but keeps running out. Also, there is a hallway under construction causing clogs in the remaining hallways, which cause traffic jams that are causing students to be late for class. Marcie meets a lower classman named Carlin (Antonina Battrick) who laments the situation. Charlie Brown struggles to write on the chalkboard without screeching the chalk and annoying everyone. When Marcie tries to help him, she becomes embarrassed when she puts her hand on his.

Marcie talks to Lucy the psychologist about her problem, but Lucy thinks Marcie simply wants to be like her. Marcie faces off against Snoopy and Thibault in the golf semi-finals, and Marcie leads Peppermint Patty to victory. Franklin announces that Peppermint Patty is heading to the finals to win the Championship Cup. He also asks Marcie to say a few words as the winning caddy, but she chickens out of public speaking. She consults Charlie Brown about her issues, since he surely also has things about himself that he’d like to change. She explains how she wants to help people, but she gets overwhelmed when she has to speak to crowds of people about it. The next day, Marcie draws up a plan to cut the pizzas into eight pieces instead of six to prevent the shortage. She also lays down arrows in the hallways to keep everyone from getting over-crowded. She also slips Charlie Brown a note on how to hold the chalk to prevent the screeching. Marcie becomes the school hero because of her improvements, and she winds up winning the class presidency thanks to being written in.
