comment |
I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown is the 43rd prime-time animated television special based upon the popular comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. The hour-long special first aired on ABC on December 9, 2003, and is about Linus and Lucy's younger brother, Rerun, wanting a pet dog, and is heavily adapted from mid-late 1990s comic strips where Rerun was more of a main character.Followed by He's A Bully, Charlie Brown in 2006, which was the final new Peanuts special to air on ABC, though that network would continue re-airing I Want A Dog For Christmas... annually until 2019. |

Sadist Teacher: Rerun's art teacher is implied to be one, as when she overhears Rerun singing the praises of the art project going on, Rerun whispers to the Little Pigtailed Girl that he's only saying these things to bolster her ego, since, "When she's happy, we're happy." |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome |
| | I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown / int_3ed23024 |
comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Because of a joke he told a female classmate about wanting to run away to Paris, Rerun gets suspended from school for "harassment". Rerun asks the store clerk for a leash, a dog collar and a dog supper dish and suggested that it should be put on his store tab. He gets kicked out promptly by the store clerk. Spike ends up losing a lot of his body weight due to a scary bike ride experience with Rerun. Rerun eventually learns owning a dog will be a lot of work and responsibility just from hanging out with Snoopy. |

Cry for the Devil: In-Universe. Rerun's mom is strictly against dogs, seeing them as too much trouble, but this isn't the reason why she has him give up Spike. |
