	Life After Snoopy
		Lee Mendelson Productions set up shop in Burlingame, Calif. "It wasn't so much an aversion to Hollywood," he says, "as it was an enormous pull to stay here." It is a decision that the third-generation San Franciscan has never regretted.
		Mendelson also discovered early in his career that stars would participate in low-budget documentaries if the subject was worthy.
		Lee then humorously offers his "true hierarchical snapshot," one that includes the baker, the driver, the attorney and the dog.

	deseretnews.com \| It's the Christmas TV list, Charlie Brown
		Lee Mendelson had produced a documentary on Mays and was reading the comics and saw a strip about Charlie Brown's baseball team.
		Mendelson also credits the success of the story to the fact that "Charlie Brown finally won something." This little boy who appeals to the loser in us all discovers the true meaning of the holiday and helps us all to share in that discovery, he said.
		Mendelson didn't realize at the time that making animated specials would turn out to be pretty much his life work.

	reveries - cool news of the day
		Executive producer Lee Mendelson, now 89, recalls: "We told Schulz, 'Look, you can't read from the Bible on network television.'" What they didn't realize was that they were making Sparky's point: He wanted the show to be about the real meaning of Christmas.
		And it worked because of the same "quirky genius" that made the Peanuts comic strip, snoopy.com, work-- it mixed a serious message with a "sardonic, even hip, sense of humor." While Linus was reciting from the Bible, Sparky had Charlie's little sister, Sally, asking for tens and twenties in her letter to Santa.
		Lee Mendelson thought he had ruined Charlie Brown, but the first showing of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" was "watched by almost 50 percent of the nation's viewers" and the critics loved it, too.

	News Clippings and Press Releases
		But Melendez and Mendelson said they have the perfect source of inspiration to ensure their new Peanuts specials -- and they hope to produce one a year for current franchise owner ABC -- are close to Schulz's particular vision the comic strips.
		Mendelson and Melendez said Valentine's Day was a ripe subject because there were lots of Schulz strips on the subject, as well as characters who hadn't been featured prominently in a television special before, including Peppermint Patty and Marcie.
		Mendelson says that the Christmas and Halloween specials cannot be topped because they are classics, but he tries to maintain their standards and match the children's voices to those in the first special.

		Lee Mendelson, producer of all the Charlie Brown TV specials, holds a collector's 20th-anniversary book that he wrote in 1970, "Charlie Brown & Charles Schulz." This year is the 40th anniversary of "A Charlie Brown Christmas," one of Mendelson's first collaborations with Schulz.
		Mendelson, a former Air Force navigator and Stanford creative-writing grad, got his first TV job at KPIX San Francisco in 1961, knocking out five-second public-service announcements.
		Mendelson took some criticism at first for using the voices of real children on the soundtrack, and they kept growing up on him.

	A Charlie Brown Valentine Press Release
		Produced and animated by the same team as past PEANUTS specials, Lee Mendelson and Bill Melendez, the story is taken directly from Charles M. Schulz's famed strip.
		Lee Mendelson's association with Charles Schulz stretches back to 1963, when he approached the cartoon strip creator about bringing the PEANUTS gang to television.
		Mendelson had recently produced the well-received documentary on baseball great Willie Mays titled "A Man Called Mays" and thought it would be interesting to produce something on a less successful athlete, Charlie Brown.

	Working for Peanuts: How Charles Schulz’s Characters Created a Holiday Tradition
		Mendelson jumped at the idea of a holiday special for the Peanuts and quickly agreed to the job even before he had time to confer with Schulz.
		Because of their good friendship and the trust he had in Mendelson’s judgment, Schulz later agreed enthusiastically with Mendelson that a Christmas special would be a wonderful idea.
		Lee Mendelson relates the whole creative process in his book, A Charlie Brown Christmas: The Making of a Tradition, on pages twelve through twenty-nine.
