Charlie Brown's All Stars

Charlie Brown's All Stars was the second prime-time animated TV special based upon the popular comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz.

It was the second such TV special (following A Charlie Brown Christmas) to be produced by Lee Mendelson and Bill Melendez. It originally aired on CBS on June 8, 1966.
After Charlie Brown's team loses their first game of the season (123-6), his team throws down their caps in disgust and quits. Frustrated and depressed, Charlie Brown wanders around aimlessly until Linus meets him with good news: Mr. Hennessey, operator of a local hardware store, is offering to sponsor Charlie Brown's team, place them in an organized league, and even buy them new uniforms.
