 It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown
comment
The twelfth Peanuts special, It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown was first broadcast on CBS in 1974. It continued to air annually on that network through the year 2000. From 2001 to 2014, ABC aired it intermittently, pairing it with the 1966 special Charlie Brown's All-Stars. Easter Beagle has not been broadcast on television since 2014, incidentally the year of its fortieth anniversary.An Easter Special, obviously, it essentially consists of three interconnected storylines. Linus insists that they don't have to worry about painting Easter eggs because the Easter Beagle will give Easter eggs to all the good little children on Easter Sunday. Given how consistently wrong he's been about the Great Pumpkin, no one believes him except, of course, for Sally. Meanwhile, Peppermint Patty is trying to teach Marcie how to make Easter eggs, but Marcie keeps ruining the eggs before they can even get started. Finally, Snoopy has to get Woodstock a new home.

comment
Crappy Holidays: Right up until Snoopy arrives as the Easter Beagle, everyone except for Woodstock and Lucy are having a really bad Easter morning. Peppermint Patty grieves over the fact that she and Marcie are left without any eggs, Sally is chewing Linus out for seemingly deceiving her again, and Charlie Brown is confused as to why he's alone, on a holiday, no less. On the other hand, Woodstock is busy sleeping, while Lucy is hyping herself up for her (one-sided) Easter egg hunt.

Elevator Gag: Woodstock has an invisible elevator he uses to get in and out of his nest. He's clearly just flying up and down, but that doesn't explain the elevator sounds, or him standing in mid air before going down.

comment
Lethal Chef: Peppermint Patty tries to teach Marcie how to make Easter eggs, but Marcie can't get a handle on how to prepare the eggs. First she fries them. Next she tries cooking them on a waffle iron, then a toaster, and then putting them in the oven. Finally, with help from Patty, she boils them... but cracks them open first, resulting in "egg soup".

Easter Episode: The gang prepares for Easter: Linus attempts to convince the others that the Easter Beagle (c.f. the Great Pumpkin) exists. Marcie tries making Easter eggs by cooking them in a multitude of ways before learning that she needs to boil them. Lucy hides eggs for an Easter egg hunt so that she can find them all herself, but Snoopy gets them first. On Easter the Easter Beagle (Snoopy) shows up and distributes the eggs he got from Lucy to everyone but Charlie Brown, who gets the basket instead.

comment
Idiot Ball: Marcie is considered one of the smartest members of the Peanuts cast (as long as it doesn’t involve sports), and certainly smarter than Peppermint Patty, yet here she seems to know absolutely nothing about Easter eggs. Likewise, Peppermint Patty could've avoided a lot of frustration had she simply boiled the eggs herself to show Marcie how it's done.

Straight Man: Up until he falls back into his trademark Butt-Monkey role at the end of the special, Charlie Brown serves as a foil for nearly everyone he interacts with, as he ceases Snoopy and Sally's tomfoolery with the hats, questions Sally's decision in picking platform shoes, and is even the first one (besides Lucy, who always sees Linus' sentiments as crazy) to dismiss the notion of the Easter Beagle as ridiculous.

The rest get on another up escalator and again pass Snoopy heading down the other side, without having time to have gotten up two flights of stairs.

Justified, as he was tossing loads of eggs all over the place that he wouldn't have enough to give to everyone. Meanwhile, Lucy got the same egg that she was using much earlier.
