Flower Power
1 September 2022
Sally wants to join Charlie Brown's baseball team. Peppermint Patty challenges them to a game. Sally is taken with a dandelion flower growing on the mound. Soon nobody is playing baseball which infuriates Charlie Brown.

I like the song enough. Apparently, it's written by Ben Folds. I doubt it's winning any awards but it delivers the message. It's a little hokey but it fits the child-like wonder and the environmental theme. It's flower power. I'm fine with most of this for a hokey Peanuts environmental special. Then there is a bit of drama. The fight between Sally and Charlie is surprisingly full of stakes. One can really feel both characters' desperation. It's almost too much for a children's show. It does take this to another level.
