Each episode is comprised of three short stories, with an animation style that hearkens back to the strip as it appeared in the 1970s and later. Charlie Brown’s lazy but loyal beagle is the title character in the new Apple TV+ animated series “The Snoopy Show,” debuting with six episodes centered around “Joe Cool” himself. Now, in 2021, one character stands out among the rest: Snoopy. Or maybe the endurance of “Peanuts” stems from the way its symbols have been ingrained into American culture, from the Charlie Brown Christmas tree to Linus’ security blanket. Many of us know a Marcie or a Peppermint Patty. Snoopy escapes into an alter ego that has him flying through the air as a daring pilot. Perhaps it’s because “Peanuts” is still relatable - everyman Charlie Brown is sometimes so beleaguered and insecure. Schulz debuted his “Peanuts” comic strip, the popularity of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy and a host of other characters continues.
