Those PSA's (not episodes) : Floss with Charlie Brown

PSA's  Peanuts 

         While it would seem I did a look at a PSA video about Charlie Brown and teeth cleaning, this one is a different one. There are two.  It's Dental Flossophy, Charlie Brown is a sequel to the previous one called "Tooth Brushing" and it came out in 1980.  This is a 5 minute look that takes place the next day, because they forgot to floss or something.   I am stretching my PSA line here, as this is also more an educational instructional film  and not something that aired on TV. 

         Charlie Brown is a little sad because he showed everyone how to brush their teeth, but he feels he's missing something. Lucy tells him that there's more to do, that's right: flossing. I'm glad Lucy is also a dentist.  They really knew they had five minutes and ran with it.  I should question why Lucy has floss with her in her stand.  Charlie Brown finds this a great revelation and that was the thing he forgot to talk about. (I guess they forgot too, because this was 2 years after that other one)

Floss brand Floss makes your teeth less gross (grawse) 

            We get the basic explanation of what plaque is and what happens when you don't floss. Then Lucy has Charlie Brown come with her.  Snoopy is here and there is a random moment of Snoopy and Woodstock shenanigans. Back in the bathroom, Charlie Brown and Lucy go through the steps of getting ready to floss with piece by piece instruction.  Getting a close up of Peanuts hands, you'll see they have five fingers, though that always depended on what they needed to show.  We also get a show of human-teeth Snoopy, which is somewhat scary. 

            If you want to see zoomed in shots of mouths and teeth, this is the best video for you.  The steps are repeated for the viewer to get the point and better remember. Then Snoopy steals the floss to make a nest for Woodstock.  

              There's not a lot to say as it's just a simple short about how to floss.  It has Peanuts charm and it's a fun little outing, that I hope was enjoyable to those who like Peanuts  and taking a kind of boring topic.  The Snoopy moments were fun without feeling like too much or over-taking the subject. 

     That's it for now,  tune in next time when Charlie Brown shows you how to shave.
