There's No Time for Love, Charlie Brown is the ninth prime-time animated TV special based upon the comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz.[1] This marks the on-screen debut of Marcie, who first appeared on the comic strip in 1971. The special originally aired on the CBS network on March 11, 1973.[2] The first half of the special is presented as a series of sketches based on various Peanuts strips, while the second half depicts Charlie Brown's erroneous trip to a supermarket, mistaken for an art museum.

The special was released on DVD as a bonus feature (along with another Peanuts special Someday You'll Find Her, Charlie Brown) on January 6, 2004. It was also released in remastered form as part of the DVD box set, Peanuts 1970's Collection, Volume One. It had been previously released on CED in 1981,[3] and on VHS by Kartes Video Communications in 1987, and by Paramount on January 11, 1995. The special occasionally saw airings on the American TV channel Nickelodeon from 1998 to 2000 as part of Nickelodeon's umbrella branding for Peanuts programming, You're on Nickelodeon, Charlie Brown!
