Part of the “American Masters” series, the show is a biography of Peanuts creator, Charles M. Schulz.

The most fascinating biographical details are the ones that ended up inspiring, or making their way into, the “Peanuts” comic strip. How, when shy Schulz was an art instructor, other teachers at the institute were named Charles F. Brown and Linus, that Schulz coached their workplace softball team and had a crush on a fellow instructor, who refers to herself as “his little red-haired girl.”
