The New Year has come and gone and Valentine’s Day is on it’s way.  Make way for another fun DVD – Happiness Is….Peanuts: Friends Forever, available in stores and online on December 27th from Warner Home Video.  On this DVD, stories of love and friendship are captured into a compilation featuring classic Peanuts TV programs.  The release includes the 1968 Emmy Nominated Television Special, You’re in Love, Charlie Brown, as well as an episode from The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show on one disc.  The title retails for $14.97.

Charlie Brown has his heart set on meeting the Little Red-Haired Girl on You’re in Love, Charlie Brown, the 1968 Emmy nominated television special.  School is about to let out for summer but all Charlie Brown can think of is how meet the Little Red-Haired Girl.  All his attempts end in embarrassments.  He writes her a love note but winds up accidentally reading it out loud to his class.  When she tries to approach him during the lunch break, he panics and pulls his lunch bag over his head.  He gets up really early one morning in hopes of catching her at her bus stop but winds up falling asleep and misses the bus.  Will it be a summer of heartbreak for Charlie Brown or will he manage to connect with the Little Red-Haired Girl before school lets out?
