Good grief! Me-TV’s Collector’s Call is taking a deep dive into the world of Snoopy this Sunday, featuring a collection so extensive it could make Charlie Brown’s head spin. Airing at 6:30 PM ET, the episode features a superfan who started his obsession at age five with a plush toy and has never looked back.
Host Lisa Whelchel (Facts of Life alum and collector in her own right) gets a guided tour of Lefevre’s stockpile, a massive shrine to all things Snoopy that now tops 15,000 items and has taken over his waterfront restaurant near Detroit. Pop culture toy expert Johnpaul Ragusa, whose wife’s own Snoopy devotion apparently rivals Lefevre’s, is also on hand to geek out over the memorabilia.
Collector’s Call keeps its formula simple: one impressive collection, one passionate enthusiast, and a chance for viewers to live vicariously through people who’ve taken their fandom to the nth degree. This week’s episode delivers, showing how a childhood love can blossom into a lifelong obsession. It’s a portrait of the collector as a happy (if somewhat overwhelmed) curator.
Collector’s Call airs Sunday, June 8th at 6:30 PM ET on Me-TV.
