Yea, most remakes suck. It's just the way it is.

I think their best bet is NOT to make it look like this special the next part of the old one, but rather to make it it's own seperate entity.

I read it's going to focus on Linus' cloyingly cute younger brother. I wish I were making that up.

For me, Peanuts jumped the shark when Snoopy began correspondence with his desert-dwelling cousin, Spike.

Rerun? That's a character that never took off.

I agree. It's going to suck in a big, big way.

What, you guys don't like the "sound alike" voices that they use.

Sort of like Ant's retarded Fred Flintstone......

It's sad that the Autumnal Schultz had to resort to ripping of "What's Happening?" Too bad Fred Berry's not around to sue.

So Rerun gets a special, while Franklin and Shermy are left out in the cold yet again?

Shermy will be featured in paper form starting this april. Fantagraphics books will be releasing Peanuts collections semi-annually. The first book will cover the first 2.5 years of the strip (it started in mid-1950) and each successive book will feature 2 years to cover all 50 years. All strips will be printed in black and white.

I just checked Fantagraphics.com. They still say the book comes out in April, but they also say if you preorder with them, it ships to you March 1.
