Peanuts Summer Specials

When cruising Netflix’s streamable content the other night in the search for something for my daughter to watch, I stumbled across a packaging of Peanuts videos that I had not noticed before: Peanuts Summertime Specials.

My 5 year old was amused by there being two stories in a row about Charlie Brown’s team getting uniforms. (She was also amused by other aspects, of course; from a couple rooms away, I could tell whenever there was a nice bit of Melendez action gags, as those always set her a-giggling.)

Anyway, this odd set is available for download or streaming at Amazon as well.
