I’m a very big admirer of the late cartoonist Charles Schulz. Someday I’ll visit The Charles M. Schulz Museum. The museum has released a DVD of the long-neglected 1963 TV show, A Boy Named Charlie Brown. How neglected? It was never shown!
I’m providing 2 minutes of footage from the show as an enticement for you to buy it. His ideas were very similar to those of Fred Rogers, don’t you think?

Order the DVD here. Unfortunately, the museum doesn’t take orders online, and you’ll have to click the “Videos” link to see the ordering information for the DVD.
The show also includes the first Peanuts animation, done a full two years before the ground-breaking special, A Charlie Brown Christimas. For a measly $15, anybody who is interested in the work and life of Schulz must have this unique DVD!
