It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown!
If you’ve felt a void in your heart since watching Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown, then you’re in luck. It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown! is available to watch now. This 1974 TV special follows the Peanuts gang as they celebrate Easter. Peppermint Patty and Marcie attempt to paint eggs, although Marcie has a little bit of trouble cooking the eggs — she hilariously fries them, waffle-presses them, and roasts them. Later, Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Sally, Linus, Lucy, Peppermint Patty, and Marcie go shopping to prepare for Easter morning. Linus tries to convince everybody to wait for the Easter Beagle to show up, but the gang is understandably wary after the whole Great Pumpkin fiasco on Halloween. It’s definitely a cute one!
