Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe special was based on a comic strip story in 1977 (later published as "The Beagle Has Landed"). In the original strip, Snoopy's bride-to-be is never seen, and it is Spike, rather than a golden retriever, that the bride falls for.
- Quotes
[Snoopy was supposed to be a watchdog and guard Peppermint Patty's house, but while doing so, he gets scared off. Outraged, Peppermint Patty phones Charlie Brown]
Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: [dialing] Some watchdog. He hears one sound, and he runs off into the night.
[phone answers]
Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: Hello, Chuck!
Charlie Brown: [sleepy] Who is this?
Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: This is Peppermint Patty. Now, where's my watchdog, Chuck? Snoopy is supposed to be guarding my house, and he just ran off! Where is he, Chuck? Where is he?
[She does not get a response]
Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: Chuck? *Chuck*?
[still no response; Charlie Brown is sound asleep]
Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: Chuck, wake UP!
Charlie Brown: [startled awake] Huh - what? Oh, sorry.
Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt: Chuck, you better get over here right away. Snoopy was your responsibility. If he's ran out on me, you're gonna have to take his place. *YOU'RE* GONNA BE THE WATCHDOG, CHUCK! DO YOU HEAR ME?
Charlie Brown: Woof.

Plot In a Nutshell: Snoopy announces his impending nuptials and the Peanuts gang scrambles to prepare for the ceremony, including welcoming his California-based brother to the festivities.
The main plot of this special is lifted from a series of strips Schulz wrote back in 1977. I guess he was running a little short on ideas. It opens with Snoopy acting as a guard dog for Peppermint Patty while her dad is away. When he's there, Snoopy meets and falls in love with a poodle named Genevieve, but she looks an awful lot like Fifi, the poodle who captured Snoopy's heart in "Life Is A Circus, CB." Anyway, the couple announces their wedding intentions and this serves as the catalyst for bringing Spike into the story, for he will act as Snoopy's 'best beagle' at the ceremony.
It was nice to finally see Spike on screen. Rerun, another rarely-seen character to this point, was mentioned as being tapped for the ring bearer, but he was not seen. Overall this was a solid if not spectacular Peanuts entry. However it was a welcome return to form after "It's Flashbeagle, CB" which wasn't so great imo. Worth a look.
7/10. Would I watch again (Y/N)?: Sure why not.
