From The Flip Wilson Show broadcast of September 16, 1971 on NBC-TV.
Flip Wilson's variety show ran for four years and 94 episodes on NBC. A very popular and unique series, for having an African American lead, it was highly rated during its prime. This is the opening episode of the second season. The tribute to Charles Schulz' Peanuts comic strip (stylized like the You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown musical which had worked its way to Broadway by this time) is an all-star affair, with Lucille Ball, Donny Osmond, Ed Sullivan and I think Mitch Miller as Schroeder.
