!!''Peanuts'' franchise media (with their own pages)[[note]]{{Wiki/Wikipedia}} has a far more complete list of all the adaptations [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanuts_filmography here]].[[/note]]

** During the arc in which Charlie is seriously ill in the hospital (see under LittlestCancerPatient below), Lucy vows that if he recovers she'll let him kick the ball for real. Come time to make good, she indeed doesn't pull the football away... but in true Charlie Brown fashion, he ''kicks her arm instead''. Interestingly enough, the very first football gag occurred because Violet ([[CommonKnowledge Not Lucy!]]) was afraid of this very outcome, rather than a sense of cruelty.

The {{Newspaper Comic|s}} ran from October 2, 1950, to February 13, 2000. Beginning in TheSixties, Schulz started collaborating with animator Creator/BillMelendez and producer Lee Mendelson to produce the much-loved animated specials (which hold the honor, only shared with specials based on ''Series/SesameStreet'', of having had installments premiere on every Big Four network). The first of these, ''WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas'', aired on December 9, 1965. By 1967, there was even a play, ''Theatre/YoureAGoodManCharlieBrown'', which was followed by ''Snoopy! The Musical'' in 1975.

One unique character, The Little Red-Haired Girl, was never seen, heard, or named (except in certain TV specials, but [[WordOfGod as Schulz made very clear]], [[CanonDiscontinuity those don't count]]). She was Charlie Brown's Ideal, and thus in a sense everyone's, so Schulz wisely let each of those readers envision her for themselves.
