Spelling can't be that hard......can it? (1969)

 Ye scribe has done the spelling bee thing. Not quite the formal competition as seen in 1969's "A Boy Named Charlie Brown", but as part of a 6th grade activity.

Charlie (Peter Robbins, in his final go-round as Charlie) is a couple of grades lower, but can America's lovable loser finally win?


It is with sadness that we learned that Robbins, 65, had taken his own life a little more than a week ago after a lengthy battle with mental illness, particularly bi-polar disorder, which he had gone public with some years back. Peter had retired from show business in 1972, though that anguished "AAAAUGHHH!" would be dubbed over other actors for years to come. Robbins' live-action credits included the 1968 adaptation of Blondie and guest appearances on shows such as F-Troop and Get Smart

Rest in peace, Peter. Your suffering is over.
