....because in this Charlie Brown outing several dozen get destroyed! Easter time in Charlie Brown's neck of the woods, and the kids find new and interesting ways to make it amusing. First off is Peppermint Patty's futile attempt to teach Marcie how to make colored eggs. Back to the Discount Mart they go...quite a few times....for another dozen. Then we see Snoopy trying to create a comfortable bird house for Woodstock... this he does but accidentally destroys it, so...back to the Discount Mart he goes...for another birdhouse. Then we see Sally wanting a new pair of shoes and persuades her big brother Charlie Brown to take her shopping for a pair....so off to the Discount Mart they go....where ol' Chuck is disgusted to see a pre-Christmas sale is underway..."Only 246 days until Christmas!!" And while this is going on, Linus is preparing for the Easter Beagle to arrive with eggs for the good boys and girls. The rest of the gang still has yet to let him live down the whole Great Pumpkin thing from a few specials before. While not deep or sentimental like the original Christmas special, this show manages to draw laughs in only the way the Peanuts can do. This is a funny special which like so many in the series manages to entertain through humor, dialogue, satire, and silliness.
