Here's something. Every Non-Holiday Peanuts special this gonna be a long thread
1. Charlie Brown's All Stars (1966)
Good special showing Charlie Brown's willingness to go up to bat and care more about others than others care about him w/ a slightly sweet ending.
2. You're in Love, Charlie Brown (1967)
Charlie Brown's love of the little Red haired girl is focused. This special gives us a Peanuts theme of Charlie Brown crushing but not able to go further. The ending has a nice pay off
3. He's your Dog, Charlie Brown (1968)
A special focused on Snoopy and how he lives in his own world beyond the realm of our human understanding. It's a funny special with the weirdness we deserve
4. It was a Short summer , Charlie Brown (1969)
"Here's what I did over my summer vacation" by Charlie Brown or "It's Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown" minus the action but you do get Snoopy and Lucy arm wrestling
5. Play it again , Charlie Brown (1971)
The classiest Peanuts special, so much Beethoven music.
Schroeder: No Man, don't sell out to the man, Man!
Great visuals , great special
6. You're not Elected, Charlie Brown (1972)
Politics is stupid, Politics with Peanuts characters are better.
You can vote to change the system but you can't change the system.
Good special, great gags , Linus for President
7. There's no Time for Love, Charlie Brown (1973)
I also confuse art museums with grocery stores. I did wonder why the art was a 2 for 1 deal. Marcie Kisses Chuck. Fun special with all the Peanuts charms and slight off center -ness they bring
8. It's a Mystery, Charlie Brown (1974)
Woodstock's first TV appearance
Snoopy is solving who stole Woodstock's nest? Was it you? It was you wasn't it?
A good special to see more into Snoopy playing a role, because Snoopy is a character who can play any role.
9. You're a Good Sport, Charlie Brown (1975)
My personal favorite 70's special (non holiday that is )
Charlie Brown wins and you can't stop him! There' some good and strange humor in this special like Charlie Brown getting sent to the pound. It's a fun special.
10. It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown (1976)
What? That's the special. One big what? TREES!
It's weird not bad .
11. It's your First Kiss, Charlie Brown (1977)
Unless you are a completionist , don't watch this special. You will hate it, your dog will hate, your life will spiral out of control and you will end up doing bad things like trading in your 2009 Toyota Corolla.
12. What a Nightmare, Charlie Brown (1978)
BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK
Peanuts gets weird again, but this time you also get to experience a snack induced nightmare, and question your own sanity at the same time. At least it's entertaining.
13. You're the Greatest, Charlie Brown (1979)
Marcie and Charlie Brown flirt like no tomorrow. As nature intended. If you lie athletics in the Olympics well here's your Peanuts special. It's charming and a joy to watch.
14. She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown (1980)
Peppermint Patty is strong enough to hold a special on her own. It's a fun special showing us a different experience for Peppermint Patty 80's starting off great! Watch it.
15. Life is a Circus , Charlie Brown (1980)
Snoopy runs away and joins the circus, because he liked a lady dog. Who wouldn't do that? It's a funny Emmy- winning special.
16. "It's Magic, Charlie Brown" (1981)
Of course actual magic exists in the Peanuts world, how else do you explain Snoopy? How?! It's a nice special, we still don't see Charlie Brown kick the ball but we do see him kick the ball.
How do we save on animation? Invisible.
17. Someday You'll find her, Charlie Brown (1981)
Linusssss it's time for you 4PM tag along
Yes , Honey

Charlie Brown sees a girl on TV, falls for her and goes stalking around to look for her.. and then gives up in the end because Charlie Brown, What?
18. A Charlie Brown Celebration (1982)
The first hour long special. It's a great mixture of Peanuts stories that couldn't be their own specials. Awww Lucy really does care. It's a 40+ minutes of Peanuts a celebration, if you will.
19. It's this Goodbye, Charlie Brown? (1983)
No , it's not....
It's a good special though, it' s nice to see how much everyone cares for Linus .... and Lucy.... even Schroeder misses Lucy. They didn't get a spin-off so back to status quo.
20. It's an Adventure, Charlie Brown (1983)
Another hour long special, with more celebration of Charlie Brown. Also Charlie Brown bites a tree, Peppermint Patty is the chosen one and more, it's a good watch.
21. What have we Learned, Charlie Brown? (1983)
A special that gives tribute to those who fought in World War I and II

War never changes, but have we learned anything from them to have a different direction in the future?
A great special that doesn't talk down.
22. It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown (1984)
It's so 80's the 80's are like what?
Dad, I want Flash Dance but with Peanuts characters
Yes, Honey

It's a strange special, but you gotta love the fun it brings to the table.
23. Snoopy's getting married, Charlie Brown (1985)
No he ain't....
Yeah there's a Peanuts wedding special , you have to watch a Peanuts wedding special.
24. You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (1985)
An animated special based off a musical based off the characters from the comic strips... it's the circle of Peanuts....I hope you like musicals....
25. Snoopy the Musical (1988)
An animated special based off a musical based off the characters from the comic strips... it's the circle of Peanuts....I hope you like musicals.... I like the songs in this one better
26. It's the Girl in the red Truck, Charlie Brown (1988)

The Netflix adaptation joke goes here.... No it wasn't a dream. It is the weirdest Peanuts special. I do like how daring they were to give Spike a spotlight... but yes... Do watch it for the what? factor 80's ends here
27. Why, Charlie Brown, Why (1990)
A Peanuts special that talks about Childhood Cancer, with a focus of helping kids understand it. From different views with common questions that come up. It's a thoughtful and well done Peanuts special.
28. Snoopy's Reunion (1991)
While it goes against the "cannon" of the comics strips it's still a sweet special with Charlie Brown caring about Snoopy enough to make a family reunion, a nice take on Snoopy's past and a nice mix to see Snoopy's family A good watch
29. It's Spring Training , Charlie Brown (made in 1992)
It's alright special, baseball is always fun to see in Peanuts. You get a Franklin rap because 90's... and a Charlie Brown team win,what?
30. You're in the Superbowl, Charlie Brown (1994)
uh Football, football, football, football and football
watch it for the football... not the plot?
31. It was my Best Birthday Ever, Charlie Brown (1997) didn't air on US TV

uhhhhhhhh if you put this special on and walk away for like 8 minutes you will miss nothing... that's not even a joke.
The rest of special has some funny moments and otherwise exists,
32. It's the Pied Piper,Charlie Brown (2000) also hasn't aired on USTV

It's the story of the Pied Piper but with Peanuts characters because uhhh
sure... not bad but yes....
33. Lucy Must be traded, Charlie Brown (2003)
More baseball, a trade dynamic to a story , nice.
34. He's a Bully, Charlie Brown (2006)
Charlie Brown wins again!
Marbles and Motocross should be his things instead... uhh Rerun's here too yay! Marcie trolls Peppermint Patty , and it's all fun.
35. Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown (2011)
So far it's the last special to date. This one tries to mimic the 60's style, it's an hour long special, and does good job of doing that,
We all seek security is it's message as we all have insecurities. Except Pig Pen
That's it for all the non-holiday Peanuts specials , unless they make a new one
(please?)
A lot of variation, some are great, some are smart, some are downright weird, and one will make you question your life, but it's good they exist.
