Celebrating the Super Bowl, bowllessly

With the Super Bowl coming up on February 3rd, the fine folks at Warner Home Video will be leading into it with a release of… no, not You’re In The Super Bowl, Charlie Brown. That would be too obvious. No, instead they’re issuing a DVD entitled either Touch Down Charlie Brown! (if you look at the box cover) or Touchdown! Charlie Brown (if you read the press release) which will include the special It’s Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown and some material from The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show. It’s listed as a “Peanuts Deluxe Edition”, which used to mean added featurettes, but there’s no sign of that at this point. You can go preorder it.

(Thanks to AAUGH Blog reader Scott for pointing this out.)
