Shermy
Shermy is a fictional character from the comic strip '' Peanuts'', by Charles Schulz. Schulz named him after a friend from high school. When Peanuts made its debut on October 2, 1950, Shermy sat on the curb with another early character, Patty, and spoke the first lines of dialogue, ending with "Good ol' Charlie Brown ... How I hate him!" which is ironic, considering how he became one of Charlie Brown's closest friends, along with Linus van Pelt and Schroeder. Shermy famously played a shepherd in the holiday television special, '' A Charlie Brown Christmas''. As ''Peanuts'' matured, however, Shermy became an extraneous character who was used less and less frequently, until his final appearance in 1969. In a television interview, Schulz said that in the 1950 debut of the strip, it was solely Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and a few minor characters, then showed the first strip, in which the "minor characters" he spoke of were clearly Patty and Shermy. Shermy's name first was mention ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Charles Monroe "Sparky" Schulz ( ; November 26, 1922 – February 12, 2000) was an American cartoonist, the creator of the comic strip ''Peanuts'' which features his two best-known characters, Charlie Brown and Snoopy. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential cartoonists in history, and cited as a major influence by many cartoonists including Jim Davis, Murray Ball, Bill Watterson, Matt Groening, and Dav Pilkey. "''Peanuts'' pretty much defines the modern comic strip", said Bill Watterson, "so even now it's hard to see it with fresh eyes. The clean, minimalist drawings, the sarcastic humor, the unflinching emotional honesty, the inner thoughts of a household pet, the serious treatment of children, the wild fantasies, the merchandising on an enormous scalein countless ways, Schulz blazed the wide trail that most every cartoonist since has tried to follow." Early life and education Charles Monroe Schulz was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on November 26, 1922, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Charlie Brown And Snoopy Show
''The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show'' (known as ''You're on Nickelodeon, Charlie Brown'' during reruns on Nickelodeon) is an American animated television series featuring characters and storylines from the Charles M. Schulz comic strip ''Peanuts'' as first presented for television in the Peanuts animated specials. It aired Saturday mornings on the CBS network from 1983 to 1985.

It did not help the ratings much, and while the show was not formally cancelled in 1984, further production was on hiatus, and in 1985, CBS ordered five new episodes for what would be a second and final season. Early in 1986, CBS dropped the show after a ratings recession.
