You're in the Super Bowl, Charlie Brown is the 37th prime-time animated television special based on Charles M. Schulz's comic strip Peanuts.

NBC aired this special as a tie-in with Super Bowl XXVIII, to which NBC held the rights that year; it was produced with the full cooperation of the National Football League, whose team uniforms are featured pervasively in the special.

As the game begins, Lucy comes onto the field and tells Snoopy he is a horrible coach, and his team will get crushed.

But once again, The Birds crush the other team, 62–0 (again parodying Bills assistant coach Chuck Dickerson's disparaging the Washington Redskins prior to Super Bowl XXVI), winning the championship.

After each touchdown, the Birds introduce a different celebration dance, and after each win, they douse Snoopy in Chirpade—except for the championship, when Lucy is on the receiving end of the Chirpade shower.

Franklin and Marcie, whose last names were never officially revealed during the course of the Peanuts comic strip, were given surnames for the first time in this special.

Guaraldi composed music scores for the first 16 Peanuts television specials and one feature film (A Boy Named Charlie Brown) before his death in February 1976.

(All previous Peanuts specials had aired on CBS, starting with the 1965 premiere of A Charlie Brown Christmas.)

[5] You're in the Super Bowl, Charlie Brown was the last Peanuts special to air on television before Charles Schulz's death in 2000.

[citation needed] Its lone video release, like It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown (1992) before it, was available in VHS format at participating Shell petrol stations.
