Lee Mendelson, R.I.P.
Published Thursday, December 26, 2019 at 8:12 PM

Producer Lee Mendelson, winner of a dozen Emmy Awards and four Peabody
Awards, passed away yesterday at the age of 86. One of each of those
trophies was for A Charlie Brown Christmas, which first aired in 1965. CBS
expected it to bomb in the ratings but it turned out to be one of the
highest-rated specials ever and its annual viewing became a vital
tradition in households not just in America but around the world. It also
led to more than forty subsequent Peanuts specials produced by Lee and his
animation partner Bill Melendez as well as two movies. Lee Mendelson
Productions also produced award-winning documentaries and animated shows
not featuring Charlie Brown and his friends.

No, no, there's the time the invisible Charlie Brown kicked the football in _It's A Shocking Lot Of Body Horror, Charlie Brown_. I mean, _It's Magic, Charlie Brown_.

Still, gosh. It's hard to imagine a world without Lee Mendelson.
