Lee Mendelson/Bill Melendez Productions

Background: Lee Mendelson/Bill Melendez Productions was a production company founded in 1965 and closed in 2006 with Melendez's retirement. Melendez died two years later. While Paramount Pictures and Viacom still own the film library, the television properties (the specials, The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show and This is America, Charlie Brown) have changed hands over the years.
