    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This was the first Peanuts TV special of the 1970s, airing nearly a year and a half after "It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown." (The feature film "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" had been released in between the two specials.)
    • Goofs
      While Charlie Brown, Pig Pen, and Snoopy sound perfectly fine without Schroeder when demonstrating their rock band to Lucy, they aren't able to go on without him at the PTA meeting.
    • Quotes
      • Frieda: [she comes in and sits down in front of Schroeder's piano where Lucy usually sits] Schroeder, I think it's disgraceful the way Lucy bothers you, and she's always asking everybody "Why does he always have to play that stupid piano?" I think that's terrible.
      • [pause]
      • Frieda: Incidentally, why DO you always have to play this stupid piano?
      • Lucy van Pelt: [comes in and sees her] What are you doing here?
      • Frieda: Who wants to know? Maybe I just like music.
      • Lucy van Pelt: [sits down beside her] Do you like Beethoven?
      • Frieda: What?
      • Lucy van Pelt: If you're going to hang around here, you've got to like Beethoven.
      • Frieda: All right, but I'll just have a small glass.
      • [Schroeder stops playing when he realizes what she just said, then angerly pulls the piano out from under both of them]
      • Lucy van Pelt: You blew it, kid.
