This delightful special was nominated for two Prime-Time Emmys.

10:45 ● There's No Time For Love, Charlie Brown
The Peanuts gang is under pressure with homework assignments and exams, but no one needs to bring up his grades more than Charlie Brown. His only chance to salvage his grades is by earning an "A" on his report detailing his field trip to the art museum. As if that's not pressure enough, he must fight off distractions from Peppermint Patty and Marcie, both of whom have feelings for him. During the field trip, Peppermint Patty inadvertently distracts Charlie Brown from his group causing him, Sally, Marcie, and Snoopy to end up inside of a Supermarket instead of the museum!
