The World Famous Beagle is Back!!
The Snoopy Show was an animated streaming television series inspired by the Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz and also being a revival of the short-lived The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show, released exclusively on Apple TV+ in batches from 2021 to 2023.The series provides examples of:
- Birthday Episode:
- Happy Bird-Day from "Just Your Basic Beagle" is Woodstock's birthday.
- (Happy Birthday Rerun from "Dogs Don't Say Goodbye" is Rerun's birthday.
- Birthday Beagle from "All the World's a Beagle" is Snoopy's birthday.
- Cold Snap: All three segments in "Happiness Is a Snow Day" take place during a snowy weather.
- Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: The theme song is heard regularly throughout the show, even being played on a radio at one point.
- Forgotten Birthday: Happy Bird-Day from "Just Your Basic Beagle" has Snoopy forget Woodstock's birthday and try to make it up to him.
- Three Shorts: The main format of the show.
- Let's See YOU Do Better!: In the segment Snoopy on the Mound from "Not Bad for a Beagle" has Charlie Brown offer Snoopy to pitch after the latter laughs at the former for getting hit with his routine. Though with this being Snoopy, he rather effortlessly does better than Charlie Brown.
- Lighter and Softer: Compared to the comic and original specials, the harsher tone prominently found in Peanuts is toned down a lot in this series. Best seen with Charlie Brown, who despite being the same ol' Charlie Brown is bullied less then he was in the original comic.
- This is even true for some episodes based on original strips for some reason. The episode where Snoopy becomes baseball manager is based on strips where that happens, only there Snoopy hilariously kicks anyone who plays badly. And the episode based off when Snoopy couldn’t stop hugging Charlie Brown’s arm, the ending was changed to be more “wholesome”, with him getting sad and missing Snoopy on his arm (whereas he was cheering to be “free” of him in the original).
- Origins Episode: The segments A Snoopy Tale and When Snoopy Met Woodstock from "Happiness Is a Dancing Dog" devele into this. The former shows Snoopy as a pup being adopted by Charlie Brown and his first days with him and the latter showing when Snoopy and Woodstock first met.
- Pirate Episode: The segment Happiness Is a Day at the Beach from the episode titled the same follows Snoopy and Woodstock search for pirate treasure at the beach.
- Sore Loser:
- Snoopy - and ironically Charlie Brown around the end - in the segment Three Cheers for Snoopy in "Well, I'll Be a Brown-Eyed Beagle"
- Inverted example with Snoopy in the segment The Masked Marble from "Never Trust a Hungry Beagle".
Linus: I've heard of sore losers, but that beagle is a sore winner!
