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. (Me, I’m actually avoiding it until airtime; there’s a big party here at AAUGH Central, and it’s a non-football crowd, so our biggest pleasure is in sharing opinions on the ads.)

But, of course, Peanuts and the Super Bowl bring to mind You’re in the Super Bowl, Charlie Brown, a special which has not seen air in a long time and has not been released on DVD (I presume both are due to problems with licensing the Super Bowl name and trappings from the NFL). 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.
