You Know The Voice: Did Charlie Brown & Lucy have "foster parents"? (1968)

Actors Peter Robbins & Pamelyn Ferdin had demonstrated chemistry as the voices for Charlie Brown & Lucy Van Pelt in the Peanuts specials. To that end, CBS prevailed upon the producers of the 1968 adaptation of Chic Young's legendary comic strip, Blondie, to cast the two as the pre-teen versions of Blondie & Dagwood's children, Alexander & Cookie. Suffice to say, aside from the quick hook given to Blondie, which went half a season on its 2nd go-round, 11 years after the first series with movie & radio star Arthur Lake reprising as Dagwood, Pamelyn had the better, lasting live-action career (i.e. Lassie, Curiosity Shop), while Robbins was hardly heard from again after his Peanuts run ended.

Of course, it goes without saying that Robbins has been in the news lately, but for the wrong (legal) reasons, and that's all I have to say about that. Gilmore Box uploaded the open to Blondie.

Edit, 3/4/23: We've added the only episode available on YouTube: "Marriage Menders". This is a You Know The Voice trifecta, with Peter, Pamelyn, and Jim Backus.

In a later interview, Pamelyn recalled the series was cancelled by CBS while the cast was in a break in filming. This would be the last series from producer Joe Connelly (Leave it to Beaver, The Munsters, Calvin & The Colonel, Pistols & Petticoats), and King Features' last attempt at a live action series.
