These special "Peanuts" openings for "Tennessee Ernie's" Thursday night NBC variety show were seen between 1959 and '61, and were originally telecast "In Living Color" {this is from a black & white kinescope}. Charlie and the gang also appeared in Ford commercials during the show, as well...

Back when Milli Vanilli were just babies... must've been their inspiration.
Did they air this program in Germany(the Milli Vanilli guys are from there), by any chance?

Charlie Brown is wonderful. At one time or another there's a little Charlie Brown in all of us.
Personally, I see myself more as a Linus, but lord knows I've had my "Good grief!" moments.
