Season 01 Episode 18 Ben Renwick

**(18)** The Super Show Season 1 Episode 18: **Ben Renwick**

**Generic Intro: Snoopy**

Hi, I'm Brian Henson. Not many people know that Snoopy was actually the Peanuts' first network television star in the Peanuts Comic Strip. Snoopy was originally the beagle in the 1991 Peanuts special "Snoopy's Reunion", but he later was born in the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm with his brothers & sisters including Belle & Spike. Back then, Rowlf was a famous beagle he likes to go under the limbo stick at the beach. When The Super Show came along, Snoopy became known more for his doghouse expertise when he sleeps on top of the doghouse. Snoopy was my father's best known Peanuts' character, but a lot of people think he was more like Snoopy in real life except he appeared in many different Super Show episodes as he nailed it down easy & very well. Here is the fabulous beagle named Snoopy in another classic episode of The Super Show.
