00:00:01.340 - 00:00:25.680

Yeah, yeah, well too badly. It seems like they missed by 25 now that charlie is such a round of success in most every realm of human entertainment. Do you think there's anywhere else for him to go now? Oh I suppose there a lot of things that

00:00:25.690 - 00:00:41.370

poor old charlie Brown to do. Of course his great love is being a baseball manager, but I think we'll both agree that what he really needs some new players. Mhm. What about The future for Charlie Brown? I'm sure there is one. But is there a future

00:00:41.370 - 00:00:55.460

perhaps for another character? Is another character in your mind? Or was there one perhaps lurking there even before charlie Brown? That might come to light one of these near days. I'm always looking for new characters, but this is one of the most difficult things to do

00:00:55.460 - 00:01:10.040

unless they spring merely spontaneously. The last most successful of the new characters was peppermint patty. She seemed to be a real natural and I think I'll use her quite a bit. I tried that new character called Jose Peterson this spring for the ball team but it

00:01:10.040 - 00:01:24.550

didn't work out too well. I suppose I'll come up with somebody new one of these days, but at the moment I have no ideas for such a character. The reaction to the last television special must have been devastating charlie because uh it was suggested by variety

00:01:24.550 - 00:01:37.120

that it was as always a charming show but if it lacked its usual luster, it was because the central character was for the first time charlie and charlie just didn't have the essence to carry it off all by himself. Well, he worked hard to do it

00:01:37.120 - 00:01:51.080

though. Ah I like that show. It had a certain touch of sadness to it and I think it's very real. I think we've all gone through experiences, something like that. Whether or not we're a little boy or little girl, there's always somebody that we've admired and

00:01:51.080 - 00:02:03.570

have worked hard to try to meet and yet, haven't we? Just haven't been able to do it. They're not a little red haired girls around in everyone's life. Are you sorry that you didn't write the play? Well, I'm more or less road at least all of

00:02:03.570 - 00:02:17.100

the lines are mine. No one gets any more mileage out of his lines than I do using them for plays and television shows and calendars and books and things. Do you have any criticisms of the play? I think the play is wonderful. It's one of the

00:02:17.100 - 00:02:30.260

most delightful things which has happened to me and the cast is good if they have a nice place here to perform. And it's one of these things where an entire family can go to a tin and I think this is remarkable
