I think all of them went straight to tv.

Yes, because my mom told me she saw it in theaters back in '77.

I saw all but the first one (I was born late '69) in the movie theaters.
It was a neat experience to see the Peanuts gang on the big screen.

I can confirm that it was in the movie theater's.

All 4 came out in theatres. I saw the last 2 ("Race for Your Life" and "Bon Voyage") in their original releases in theatres, in 1977 and 1980. I did see "A Boy Named CB" in a re-release in theatres in Nov. 1980. (this was odd at the time because they showed it regularly on TV--why would they put it in theatres..but it was cool seeing it on the big screen). They(the last 2) only hung around in theatres about 2 or 3 weeks though, as I remember.

Of course! Look at this TV spot.

Besides, it would be a great extra on the DVD.

I remember seeing this movie on a double bill with "Bad News Bears In Breaking Training" which was also released in the Summer of 1977.
