She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown	comment	The 19th Peanuts animated special, She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown first aired on CBS on February 25th, 1980 (one day after the conclusion of that year's Winter Olympics). As with many of the specials, its plot is adapted from a story arc in the newspaper strip (a 1974 storyline that ran for several weeks). Peppermint Patty is preparing to participate in a skating competition, with Snoopy acting as her coach. She struggles with staying awake in class, getting a suitable figure skating outfit, and having music that breaks easily.In the 2010s, an edited version of this special aired on ABC to fill out the one-hour timeslot during their annual airing of Happy New Year, Charlie Brown, presumably as both are set in the winter with Peppermint Patty in a key role. However, the two specials made their DVD debuts on two separate releasesnote Happiness is Peanuts: Snow Days for She's a Good Skate, and the I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown Remastered Deluxe Edition for Happy New Year, which were eventually bundled together in the Snoopy's Holiday Collection boxset.Followed by the feature film Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (And Don't Come Back!) in May of that year, with the next TV special (Life's A Circus, Charlie Brown) premiering that fall.

She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown / int_4a5fcde	comment	Adaptational Alternate Ending: In the comics, Patty found out that despite her hard work, Snoopy had brought her to a rollerskating derby. Thus she was disqualified by default, as well as for damaging the rink with her blades. Here, Snoopy has the presence of mind to take her to an actual ice rink, and Patty wins thanks to her hard work and Woodstock filling in when her cassette tape breaks.

While buying the material, Patty also doesn't get a pattern, which might have helped Marcie with a framework. Predictably, Marcie's result is just a piece of fabric with one hole for Patty's head.
