Super Bowl Snoopy

There will be at least one Peanuts ad during the Super Bowl, and those who’ve already seen it are saying nice things about it.

However, VHS copies are easy to come by, as this special got wide distribution through an unusual means – copies were sold at Shell gas stations nationwide.
