Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown is the 13th Peanuts special, which originally aired on CBS in 1975.Charlie Brown eagerly awaits all the valentines that he is sure to receive. Will a briefcase be enough to hold them all? Linus buys a huge box of chocolates for his teacher, Miss Othmar, on whom he has a crush. Sally sees him making the purchase and mistakenly believes the chocolates are for her. A frustrated Lucy smashes Schroeder's piano. Is he sure he wants to risk losing her?In 2001, the special moved to ABC, where it was eventually paired with the 2002 special A Charlie Brown Valentine. This lasted until 2020, when Apple TV+ acquired the Peanuts specials. Since this happened between the annual airings of Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, Be My Valentine and its 2002 counterpart ended up being the last Peanuts specials to be broadcast on commercial television. | |

The Cameo | |
| Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Peppermint Patty and Marcie appear in crowd shots, but don't have any lines and are never referred to. Interesting that apparently neither of them sent Charlie Brown a valentine, considering they canonically have crushes on him. | |

Not Good with Rejection: Linus is left utterly devestated after Miss Othmar drives off with her boyfriend, causing him to throw away every chocolate he got for her in anger, and spend the next day sulking while he's hanging out with Charlie Brown. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: Despite Sally's crush on Linus being a major part of the plot, she never calls him her "sweet babboo," as that nickname didn't debut in the comic until 1977. She does call him her "lover boy" at one point, however. | |

Crazy-Prepared | |
| Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown / int_50f66629 | comment |
Crazy-Prepared: Charlie Brown is shockingly optimistic about receiving valentines that he takes a good number of precautions, including waiting patiently by his mailbox, asking Schroeder to prioritize looking for valentines with his name on it, and even bringing an entire briefcase to school thinking it'll be loaded up with valentines by the end of the day. | |

Moving Right Through: Sally, seeing Linus running up with the box of candy he got for Miss Othmar, assumes he's running up to her and puckers up, expecting to kiss him on the cheek. Linus proceeds to run right past her, chasing Miss Othmar out to the parking lot, with Sally thinking he must've missed her. | |

Teacher/Student Romance: Linus and Violet are both shown to have Precocious Crushes on their teachers. Both end up being rejected, however, as Linus couldn't give Miss Othmar his valentine for her on account of her riding off with her boyfriend, while Violet gives her teacher a bottle of heart-shaped shaving lotion while forgetting that he has a beard. | |

All Love Is Unrequited: As always. Charlie Brown doesn't get a valentine from anyone, least of all the Little Red-Haired Girl. Sally doesn't get any attention from Linus, who is pining hopelessly for Miss Othmar instead. Lucy continues to get nowhere with Schroeder. | |

Humiliation Conga: During the puppet show that Snoopy performs, Lucy is subjected to the various Diegetic Visual Effects, including being covered with dirt, getting hit with earthquake debris (in reality trash), and being rained on with a gardening can. This causes her to leave the show, before Charlie Brown informs her that there's another showing later that evening. | |
