The Lookback : The Charlie Brown Lookback : Snoopy's Getting Married ,Charlie Brown

The Flashback 

          This is our third installment of   our look back at Charlie Brown Specials  that are not holiday based specials. (A really long title)    As it is the 65th anniversary year of the first peanuts strip coming out.  We take a look back  this time at    Hey, there's a fly in my soup Charlie Brown,  No, it's  Snoopy's getting Married Charlie Brown. (Whaaaa?) .
 Note: as always  98% of spoilers. (So I still have a chance?)
        As with the other specials , it aired on CBS,  on March 20, 1985.
 
     Snoopy was working as a guard for Peppermint patty , when he sees a poodle  ( always a poodle)  named ,Genevieve.   He falls in love and  next, comes marriage,  (They called it puppy love)  This surprises everyone.  Snoopy ,gets asks his brother , Spike , to be his best man.
                                                           

                                                       "Hey waiter, this is white wine , I wanted Red"/copy right peanuts

      For Spike to get from Needles,  California  (Did you know they didn't make up a place?) he needs some money. He gets a job as  race dog  , but is fired for not being  a greyhound. (Maybe the Simpsons's dog can call in a tip ,either that or bet on a grey hound race?) Anyway ,  what does every wedding need? ( A Bride?)  Yes,  tuxedos.  Spike meanwhile has tough time trying to get to the wedding  (why couldn't Snoopy send some money?) , so he takes  train and finally makes his way to his brother.
      Now ,it's  bachelor party day and Snoopy is not feeling happy.

       He even breaks down  into tears on his wedding day (who hasn't? , all of them)  that Charlie Brown has to drag him there. (humanely of course).  At the wedding we have Linus as the minister (he got ordained in dog marriages after he found out how much money there was in the job) ,  Sally as the singer, guess who plays Piano?  (ummm  Marice?) A  nervous Snoopy waits for the bride to come  , but then the news is given the she has left of with a golden retriever. (sigh, that always happens)  Everyone was then shocked about what about their own thing ,except for Charlie Brown , who was worried about poor Snoopy.
                                                         

                                                          When in pain ...  salad to reduce the cake's affects  /copyright Peanuts 

          And it ends with Snoopy happy eating cake and salad , and his brother going back home to his rather nice cactus house.
     Well that's the special.
 
     It is an interesting special  that should be watched if you have  chance , that is a charm that is all it's own.  Snoopy  is our key character here , but it's real nice to see Spike and the funny things he does to get to snoopy, plus his real snazzy house.
