Around the holidays, that bongo-infused remix of a Hawaii 5-0 song that preceded a CBS Special Presentation was one of the most anticipated things on television for me as a kid. It (probably) meant that some cartoon was about to be shown, and CBS had the broadcast rights to all the Peanuts films.

But now that I go back and look at them as an adult, they're damn depressing. Charlie Brown is a manic depressive. His sister is a homicidal maniac in the making. Lucy is a sociopath. Linus is mentally defective. All of the characters have some sort of strange mental malaise that prevents them from being likeable. Even the situations are depressing, everyone is a loser that apparently has no parental guidance in their lives, they're just mini-me adults going through a parody of life itself. Even the dog is crazy, somehow imagining itself to be a WWI pilot.

I guess it's the different between being wide-eyed and suddenly figuring out how the world works.

You forgot the dyke Peppermint Patty and her sub. Schroeder was a pretty normal Aryan. He didn't do shit except live to glorify the culture of his forefathers. He even tolerated Sally's stalking in hopes of someday making physically perfect babies.

And Charlie Brown was a Jew, clearly.

Always going on about how he's the victim. Couldn't do sports worth shit. A Nazi sympathizer for a pet who constantly torments him. The list goes on and on.

How many is 6 million peanuts, exactly?

Peppermint Patty is a tomboy. She is shown to be interested in Charlie Brown and other boys.
