    This is the TV Documentary, not the animated cartoon.
    There are two films called A Boy Named Charlie Brown. First there was a TV documentary about Charles Schulz and Charlie Brown, that failed and never made it onto TV. Then, later, they used the same title for a longer, animated Peanuts special.

    This entry is for the TV documentary special, I believe. It is not easy to find this documentary. It is said to have footage of Charles Schulz in 1965 going through his life in Sepastapol, California, driving his kids to school, getting honored at a SF Giants game at Candlestick Park, etc.

    Anyone that can succeed in filling out this entry with graphics or information about the never-aired TV documentary, it would be appreciated.
