The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show (1983-1985) was a CBS Saturday-Morning Cartoon based on Charles M. Schulz's comic strip Peanuts. It was produced by Lee Mendelson and Bill Melendez, who were behind the franchise of television specials based on the strip. Episodes of the series featured several segments, mostly directly adapting individual strips or sequences (the format would be duplicated by the 2016 French Peanuts series). While the show's ratings were lower than expected — it initially was scheduled directly opposite Alvin and the Chipmunks' first season on NBC — CBS reran it the following TV season, and in 1985 ordered a second and final season consisting of five episodes (as opposed to Season One's 13).In 2021, Apple TV+ did a revival of the series in the form of The Snoopy Show.

Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: In the short "Rerun" ("Snoopy and the Giant"), there's a skit surrounding Rerun and jack-in-the-boxes, each of which plays the show's theme song. In another skit, Snoopy plays an organ grinder playing the theme tune as well. In a skit from the short "Sweet Babboo!" ("Sally's Sweet Babboo"), Linus whistles the theme tune while patting a snowball.

comment
Framing Device: The segment "The Play" ("Sally's Sweet Babboo") is framed from Charlie Brown writing an essay about the previous Christmas when the entire gang took part in a rather disjointed Christmas play.

Adapted Out: All of Snoopy's thought bubble speeches are absent from the series, as with the television specials. Instead, human characters fill in the blanks for Snoopy's lines or his original lines are narrated by said characters.

Three Shorts: Season Two episodes hold to this format, while Season One episodes typically had segments varying from less than a minute long to as long as six.

School Play
 The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show / int_66cef86d
comment
School Play: The segment "The Play" ("Sally's Sweet Babboo") has the gang putting up a Christmas school play at an ice rink, with Lucy practicing a skating number with Snoopy, Linus having to sing "Jingle Bells" for the show, Charlie Brown needing to raise the funds among other things that happen. Neadless to say, it goes about as well as your expect. With Charlie Brown even mentioning in his essay his school newspaper calling it the strangest Christmas play ever.

Adaptational Nice Guy
 The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show / int_82a64c4b
comment
Adaptational Nice Guy: Downplayed for Snoopy in the segment "The Manager" ("Snoopy: Team Manager"). In the comic arc on which it was based (being March 4 to 23, 1968), Snoopy was an outward abusive manager, kicking any of his teammates for screwing up or talking smack about him, and was even worse when they lost a game with him kicking all of his teammates. Here, the worst Snoopy does his just yell at them, though, and when they lose, Snoopy instead takes his frustration on the equipment only.

Who's on First?: In the short "Sally at School" ("Chaos in the Classroom"), Linus comes over when Sally is learning to write, but he struggles to understand what Sally means because Y sounds like Why, and O like Oh.

Animated Adaptation: Most of the shorts specifically adapt comic arcs from the 1960s through early '80s, plus a few from the 1950s.

Off-Model: The short "Sweet Babboo!" ("Sally's Sweet Babboo") looks far worse in quality than any of the other shorts in the episode (if not the entire series!). Characters are drawn much more sloppily and smaller, with less quality detail and some jarring cuts.

comment
Inconsistent Coloring: Downplayed. While the show keeps a semi-consistent color scheme like the specials, it is guilty of some examples. One episode segment has Linus' blanket colored green instead of light blue, and is Hand Waved by a voice-over of Lucy at the start saying, "Linus has a stupid new green blanket!"

Depending on the Artist: The show's animation - rather than being animated in-house like the specials - was outsourced to other countries, and the quality varies depending on the country/studio.

Title Montage: Season One's intro used clips from previous Peanuts specials for its opening. Season Two recycled the intro to the documentary It's Your 20th Television Anniversary, Charlie Brown, except for a part at the end where Charlie Brown and Snoopy bring up the title.
