PM, Monday, October 2. CBS- TV network. The special was directed by Phil Roman and produced by Bill Melendez. It's homecoming at Charlie Brown's school, and Charlie Brown and Linus are among the escorts for the Homecoming Queen and her court. During the Homecoming Parade, Linus tells Charlie Brown that he (Charlie Brown) will be the escort for the Queen, but Charlie Brown is shocked when he sees the Queen is none other than the Little Red- Haired Girl herself (whose name is said to be Heather, though neither her name nor appearance were chosen by Schulz). He is even more shocked when Linus tells him about the Homecoming tradition. Hearing this, Charlie Brown hyperventilates and falls off the float. The Homecoming Game begins with Snoopy as the referee and Charlie Brown on the team as kicker. But unfortunately, even in a real football game with many spectators (and Woodstock as a TV cameraman), Lucy, also on the team as the placekick setter, can't resist humiliating Charlie Brown, again pulling the ball away just as he tries to kick it. To make matters worse, even though Lucy is clearly the one at fault, the team (particularly Peppermint Patty) blames Charlie Brown for the failed kicks. With just thirty seconds left in the fourth quarter, Charlie Brown has a chance to become a hero and kick a field goal for the win, but Lucy again pulls the ball away, and the team loses by only one point. But remaining faithful to his duty, Charlie Brown escorts Heather to the middle of the dance floor and somehow summons the courage to kiss her on the cheek. From that moment forward everything is a composite blur, with Charlie Brown having euphoric visions now that he has kissed the Little Red- Haired Girl. He walks to the wall, his usual hangout, and meets up with Linus, who proceeds to tell Charlie Brown that though he might have lost the game, he definitely took the honors at the dance. According to Linus, Charlie Brown surprised everyone when he kissed Heather, but even more so when he took to the dance floor with her. In essence, Charlie Brown was the life of the party according to Linus. In disbelief, Charlie Brown replied saying . Schulz. A Lee Mendelson- Bill Melendez Production. Directed by Phil Roman.

Schulz himself admitted that he could not draw the Little Red- Haired Girl to readers' satisfaction. Interestingly, the special clearly shows Charlie Brown's team scoring two touchdowns totaling fourteen points in the second half. This indicates one of two things: he must have had at least two successful extra point kicks (which would be uncharacteristic of him or especially Lucy), or, more likely, someone else kicked the extra points (someone Lucy wouldn't pull the ball away from). However, in the end, because of the final failed conversion, Charlie Brown was blamed. Many viewers protested; while most could accept Lucy pulling the ball away, and also could blame Charlie for a bad punt during the game, as no one was involved with that but him, none could accept Charlie Brown's being blamed for losing the game. Music scores were now co- written by Ed Bogas and Judy Munsen. Bogas had just scored and Munsen had just supervised the movie Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown for Schulz prior to this special. He also shares a bond with his predecessor in three ways: Both Guaraldi and Bogas were signed with Fantasy Records (albeit Bogas as an in- staff producer, musician, songwriter), both musicians had also played with Cal Tjader during their careers, and they are both San Francisco natives.
