Charlie Brown
Shermy appears in multiple animated Peanuts TV specials (although he becomes more of a minor character after the 1960s), beginning with "A Charlie Brown Christmas" in 1965, where he has one line of dialogue. Upon being cast as a shepherd in the gang's Christmas pageant, he laments being typecast: "Every Christmas it's the same: I always end up playing a shepherd." His appearances also include (sometimes with dialogue and sometimes without) "Charlie Brown's All-Stars", "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", "You're in Love, Charlie Brown", "It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown", "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown", "Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown", "It's Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown", "Is This Goodbye, Charlie Brown?", "Why, Charlie Brown, Why?", "It's Spring Training, Charlie Brown", "It Was My Best Birthday Ever, Charlie Brown", and "I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown" with many of the latter being produced several years after he had disappeared from the comic strip. Shermy is mentioned briefly in the musical "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" in the song "The Doctor Is In," but does not appear or have a speaking part; and he makes appearances in three feature films, including "A Boy Named Charlie Brown", as well as a cameo appearance in "Snoopy, Come Home".
