Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn this cartoon Charlie Brown is playing a football game, and he must kick a football held by Lucy. Just as he is about to kick it, Lucy, naturally, pulls it away. He is then scolded by his teammates for missing the ball. Viewers wrote letters to the producers complaining about this, as Charlie Brown was clearly not at fault. In response, the teammates' harsh reactions were dubbed out and not heard in subsequent airings of this cartoon.
- GoofsCharlie Brown was being blamed for the loss in the football game, but it's not his fault. Lucy was the one who pulled the football away from him before he had a chance to kick it. The other characters should have realized this and directed the blame toward Lucy rather than Charlie.
- Quotes
Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: [In the locker room at halftime] Hey Franklin, remember how you were asking me what the Xs and zeros meant?
Franklin: Yeah.
Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: [Glaring at Charlie Brown] I know of at least one zero I can tell you about!
- Alternate versionsViewers wrote in complaining that they disapproved of Charlie Brown being blamed screwing up place kicking attempts that were in fact entirely Lucy's fault and not Charlie Brown's. In response, a repeat broadcast was shown with the lines of other character blaming Charlie Brown were removed, mainly the lines originally said by Peppermint Patty ("Okay, Chuck, you really goofed up on that play!" and "Chuck, you can't do ANYTHING right!")

Featured review
As Far As I'm Concerned, The Bottom of the Barrel
Okay. I'm not all that familiar with American educational traditions, but surely elementary school-kids don't have homecoming dances? From what I understand, it's more of a high school thing ... and the Peanuts gang are always supposed to be kids in elementary school. So right from the start, I'm jolted out of my enjoyment of this special by that.
Then we start adding other sources of incredulity. Charlie Brown has, for some reason, been picked to be the escort for the Homecoming Queen (the Little Red-Haired Girl.) Yahbuhwha? How did that happen? Was he wearing the sack again when the pick was made? And the peanuts gang are playing football -- against much bigger kids, I might add -- while wearing helmets over their usual clothes. Including Lucy in her blue dress.
Ah, yes, Lucy. Everyone knows that Lucy is going to pull the football out of the way when Charlie Brown goes to kick it. Everyone! She's famous for it! So who in their right mind would choose either of them as a place kicker and place kick holder? And then they blame Charlie Brown for screwing up? Doesn't anyone see Lucy holding the ball? Come on! Finally, we have the cheerleaders -- cheerleaders! -- doing a Snoopy cheer. While Snoopy is, in our world, a big time celebrity, in the milieu of Peanuts, he's just Charlie Brown's dog (and to a degree a neighborhood mascot.) While I can suspend disbelief enough to have him driving the kids in "Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown", and being treated as human by most of the kids, the idea that he'd be the subject of cheers from people who probably don't know who he is strain my suspension to its breaking point.
There's one good moment in this special, that being of course the raptures that Charlie Brown flies into after he gives the Little Red-Haired Girl a kiss on the cheek. It's sweet but not cloying, but not enough to save this show, sad to say.
