You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown

Shows · You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown

Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang navigate the trials of childhood — from unrequited love for the Little Red-Haired Girl to Lucy's psychiatric booth to Snoopy's fantasies of being a World War I flying ace. Through a series of comic vignettes, the lovably insecure Charlie Brown discovers that happiness can be found in life's small moments.
