Peanuts is a multimedia entertainment franchise created by Charles M. Schulz. It began with the Peanuts comic strip, whose original print run was from 1950 to 2000 and has since been published in reruns. Peanuts become a multimedia franchise in 1965 with the airing of the first animated television special, A Charlie Brown Christmas.

The franchise has produced many other animated television specials, four feature-length films, an animated television program, video games and a stage musical. In addition, numerous books exist, both compilations from the comic strip and original works based on the strip.

Peanuts and its characters have been referred to numerous times on The Simpsons: in television episodes, comic stories and other media.

Bart and Kite-Eating Tree.jpg Simpsons Comics #61 The Paper Chase Bart's kite is caught and eaten by a kite-eating tree, which prompts him to exclaim "Good grief!", and Sherri and Terri call him a blockhead:

"Good grief!" is one of Charlie Brown's frequently-uttered catchphrases.

Charlie Brown's kite being eaten by a kite-eating tree is a recurring plot motif in the Peanuts comic strip.

Charlie Brown is often called a "blockhead" by other characters.
