Junior Bronson I really enjoyed this Charlie Brown animated holiday special and wish that they would broadcast it more often. I have an old VHS tape of it that we transferred to a DVD some time ago and we try to watch it most Valentine's Days.It's actually kind of sad for a Valentine's Day special, which is actually part of its appeal to me. Every other special has the love interests get together in the end and everyone's happy. Not so in this show.MILD SPOILERS AHEAD: ... Charlie Brown never does get a Valentine's card, Linus tells Lucy he'll never marry her and Schroeder fails to give his box of chocolates to the teacher he has a crush on. It's heartbreak all around.But that's what Charles Schulz brought to life without getting too serious or sad - things don't always work out for us but things are always OK in the end - even for a lovable sad sack 'loser' like Charlie Brown :)

GravityLoudHouseLover1 Happy Valentine's Day guys today I'm going to review The peanuts Valentines Special "Be My Valentine Charlie Brown". This Special is Charlie wanting a Valentine from someone but no ones give him one. I feel bad for Charlie Brown that no one gives him a Valentine until the end. As a kid a watched this Special a lot around Valentine's Day. It's not as good The Christmas,Thanksgiving and Halloween Specials but it's okay. I do Like the Part where Linus was throwing the chocolates and Snoopy and Woodstock where eating them. Anyway "Be My Valentine Charlie Brown" is a decent Valentine's Day and I give it a 8 out 10 stars. Anyway Guys Have a Happy Valentine's Days. See you

Woodyanders Few people caught the joy, angst, triumphs, sadness, and disappointments of childhood with the same winning blend of gentle wit, bittersweet warmth, and delicate whimsy as Charles M. Schulz and his beloved Peanuts characters. This Valentine's day special is an excellent example of this: Charlie Brown anxiously waits for a Valentine's day card in the mail from the little red-haired girl and doesn't get any cards from anyone, Linus develops a crush on a teacher, Lucy pines for Schroeder to no avail, and only Snoopy seems to be having any fun playing cupid and making a music box out of red paper. Of course, there are plenty of hearty laughs to be had amid all the touching pathos: Lucy getting covered with mud, water, and garbage while watching a puppet show performed by Snoopy rates as a definite hilarious highlight and the gag with Linus throwing away candies which are secretly eaten by Snoopy and Woodstuck who are hiding behind a bush is simply priceless. Moreover, there's something extremely moving and admirable about Charlie Brown keeping a constant vigil at the mailbox for a Valentine's card that never arrives (naturally, we get a nice pay-off with an amusing closing joke with Snoopy kissing Charlie when he opens the mailbox the day after Valentine's day). And the scene with Schroeder going to bat for Charlie is truly wonderful. Vince Guaraldi's groovy-jammin' jazz score keeps things bubbling along. A real treat.

hfan77 I saw "Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown" for the first time in years and I thought it was a very depressing Valentine's Day special. Poor Charlie Brown, he never gets any valentines and he sits by the mailbox hoping to finally receive one but unfortunately it remains empty. Linus buys a heart-shaped box of candy for his teacher, Miss Othmar, but she leaves with her boyfriend and never gets the box although Sally, who has a huge crush on Linus thinks the candy is hers. Then there's Lucy, who tries to get Schroeder to notice her, a repetitive theme throughout the comic strip but ends up destroying his piano in frustration.Even worse, in school where Charlie Brown's class has a valentine box and all the valentines are distributed with our hero not receiving a single one. How sad and thoughtless until the next day, Violet and some of the girls, finally give him a valentine.if you enjoy Valentine's Day with someone special, watch a romantic movie instead. This cartoon will give you a broken heart.
