	Peanuts Holiday Collection-DVD This DVD boxed set collects the three most famous and best-loved Peanuts specials: A Charlie Brown Christmas, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, along with three more Peanuts specials. The most popular seasonal shows of all time, now on DVD. It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown- DVD Vince Guaraldi's light jazz underscores this Peanuts special written by Charles Schulz and digitally remastered for video. A new seasonal special for your Peanuts collection on DVD. Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown- DVD This St. Valentine's Day special originally premiered on CBS in 1975, and was aired throughout the '80s. Remastered for video, and recently released on DVD. It's the Pied Piper, Charlie Brown- DVD This is the last special made under Schulz's supervision, but it looks different from previous Peanuts specials and violates the Peanuts "canon" by showing adults. Lots of negative reviews on Amazon, but it also includes an interview with Charles Schulz, and many fans will want to add it to their collection. Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown- DVD The bonus on this DVD is that it includes two other sports- themed specials, Charlie Brown's All Stars, and It's Spring Training, Charlie Brown. Some fans didn't like the main feature, but some music was written by Vince Guaraldi, the original Peanuts composer, and David Benoit's performance captures that spirit. <form method="POST" action="http://buybox.amazon.com/o/dt/value="Buy from Amazon.com" border="0" alt="Buy from Amazon.com" src="http://rcm-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/add-to-cart.gif"> </form> A Boy Named Charlie Brown- DVD Finally on DVD, one of the best-loved Peanuts specials. In this one Charlie Brown goes to the spelling bee. This is America, Charlie Brown- DVD Originally broadcast on CBS, this eight episode miniseries ran on Nick and was available on VHS. Here are all eight episodes for about $60 less than the cost of the VHS tapes. Educational but the Peanuts gang make it fun.

Running time: 125 minutes. The Little Lulu Show: Potato Kids- VHS Developed by CINAR studios in Canada, this latest incarnation of Marge's unsinkable tyke ran on HBO.

The Little Lulu Show: Bogeyman- VHS "The Bogeyman" and two other cartoons.

The Little Lulu Show gives the story a new twist. 25 minutes.
