In 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.
The first of two times The Little Red-Haired girl actually appears in a "Peanuts" special, and the first time she is given a proper name (Heather).
Character design for The Little Red-Haired Girl was done by the animators without input from Charles M. Schulz.
Charles M. Schulz opposed any depiction of The Little Red Headed Girl, feeling that any visual images of her couldn't possibly live up to anyone's expectations, including his own.
This is the first time The Little Red-Headed Girl is seen. Charles M. Schulz, the creator of "Peanuts," was not involved in deciding how she would look or what her real name would be.
