Shermy (Peanuts)
Shermy is a fictional character from the comic strip ''Peanuts'', by Charles Schulz. Schulz named him after a friend from high school. When Peanuts made its debut on October 2, 1950, Shermy sat with another early character, Patty on the curb, and spoke the first lines of dialogue, ending with "Good ol' Charlie Brown...How I hate him!" which is ironic, considering how he became one of Charlie Brown's closest friends, along with Linus van Pelt and Schroeder. Shermy famously played a shepherd in the holiday television special, '' A Charlie Brown Christmas''. As ''Peanuts'' matured, however, Shermy became an extraneous character who was used less and less frequently, until his final appearance in 1969. In a television interview, Schulz said that in the 1950 debut of the strip, it was solely Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and a few minor characters, then showed the first strip, in which the "minor characters" he spoke of were clearly Patty and Shermy. Shermy's name first was mentioned on De ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Charlie Brown And Snoopy Show
''The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show'' (known as You're on Nickelodeon, Charlie Brown during reruns on Nickelodeon) is an American animated television series featuring characters and storylines from the Charles M. Schulz comic strip ''Peanuts'' as first presented for television in the Peanuts animated specials. It aired Saturday mornings on the CBS network from 1983 to 1985. Due to lower-than-expected ratings, in an attempt to boost viewership, CBS moved the series to 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time early in 1984. It did not help the ratings much, and while the show was not formally cancelled in 1984, further production was on hiatus, and in 1985, CBS ordered five new episodes for what would be a second and final season. Early in 1986, CBS dropped the show after a ratings recession.''

You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown

Schulz in his comic strip ''Peanuts''. The musical has been a popular choice for amateur theatre productions because of its small cast and simple staging. Background John Gordon was credited with the book of the show, but according to Gesner's foreword in the published script, "John Gordon" is a collective pseudonym that covers Gesner, the cast members, and the production staff, all of whom worked together to assemble the script. ''The Guide to Musical Theatre'' notes that "John Gordon is a pseudonym for the staff and cast of the show. The original cast included Bob Balaban, Gary Burghoff, Bill Hinnant, Skip Hinnant, Karen Johnson (producer), Karen Johnson and Reva Rose."
