It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown...

Watch Snoopy dance the night away as "The Flashbeagle". This version of the video is a little different than one of the other versions that can be found on YouTube. This version of "It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown", comes to you from the original April 16, 1984 CBS broadcast, and features added video effects that are not present on the Boomerang reruns. Thought I'd upload this version as a way of comparing the two versions.

Snoopy's just a steel toed dog on a saturday night looking for the fight of his life!

He's a maniac! MANIAC!

Nice to see CB and company enter the 1980s! This song ROCKS!

[surgeaholic]

to have a vcool dog like this makes Charlie Brown cool by default. He has no idea how privileged he is.

This special actually makes my top 10 of best peanuts specials

Yeah I remember seeing this too. Ohh the 80s/90s..................Where have they gone? The style, the beats etc etc. TV, and stuff today sucks.

Overall, the scope of this cartoon is just huge. A little more tender-loving care to the script would've made it better than I could ever describe. Maybe they could've made it into, say, a New Year's special? I mean, it already has the capacity ta pass off as such. Hmmm... ;)

In conclusion, I'd say this one's MY favorite Peanuts cartoon.

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

I'd call it another ego trip, but Snoopy is hardly being a showoff this time. Well, okay, he technically is, but...ah, pa-tooey. I'll just say that IF it is, I've seen worse.

"That's the first time I got an A in show-and-tell!" It's okay, Charlie.

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

I also saw copies of Schroeder, original Patty, Lucy (both male AND female), and PP. Let's see, PP doesn't have a mother. Does that make one of HER copies her sister, cousin, aunt...? And again, how can a dog and a small human child gain access to an adult establishment like this? How can small children be up past their bedtime and be allowed NEAR a discotheque? Maybe it's just another of Snoopy's fantasies? One that's simply effective enough to tire him out the next day?

[U1986NuclearGrounds]

BTW, take note that the two boys watching Franklin before Snoopy arrives bear a striking resemble to Leland and Milo from - you may have guessed it - It's An Adventure, CB. Speaking of resemblances, the adult-like figures (full view, might I add) inside the discotheque look so much like some of the main cast. I noticed a Sally copy dancing with a guy who resembles a cross between both Linus and Calvin from Calvin And Hobbes. I think this is where some shippers come calling.

Look at all that dust Pigpen stirs up. They could sure use a vacuum cleaner, eh? "We don't need a caller, Lucy! We need a vacuum cleaner!" Ack! That's what I said! :D I'd love to throw in more, but I'd only be rambling. So I'll leave it there.

Pigpen and Franklin, two characters practically overlooked up to this point, really get ta shine here. Yeah, nothing like a sugar-sweet musical to bring out character development and such. *shrug*
