It's not the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Unless you have AppleTV

'It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown' won't air on broadcast TV this year

Good.

It's the worst of the Charlie Brown specials. Except for the Thanksgiving one

Dee Andros says, WTF?

Time to bring back 'Garfield's Halloween Adventure,' which was 10 times better.

That was nightmare fuel for children in 1985.

Binky the Clown still terrifies me. My daughter is nine, so air anything that is not Hocus Pocus.

I prefer Blinky, the Three-Eyed Fish.

 

[Inky_Wretch]

I'm so, so angry about this.

I've watched those specials every year with my now 11-year-old. It's one of our traditions. I've watched them for decades before that too. I don't want to have to sign up for Apple+ to do that.

I fear Blinky, the one-eyed Jeffrey Toobin Zoom Snake.

I believe the Apple+ deal covers all the traditional holiday specials including Christmas, but I'd have to go back and check the story I read this morning.

I have no idea why they have it set up like this, but it is there. Maybe that will do in a pinch.

It's set up like that to avoid the machine learning on YouTube recognizing it as copyrighted video.

Really? Have you seen the vast amount of the specials? There are some really bad specials in there: flash beagle, the pilgrims voyage, the second Halloween episode, and many more that I purged from my memory

Lucy is running off with the football, Charlie Brown

OK, now 2020 seriously sucks. This is absolute crap.

Flash Beagle is just dreck. The pilgrims voyage one is kinda educational, but it takes such a serious tone that it’s boring for kids who are looking for some laughs.

Snoopy Come Home has some good lighthearted moments, but overall is depressing as hell.

Bon Voyage Charlie Brown is awesome.

One I like is Snoopy’s Reunion, which tells the story of how his family split up and got back together for a weekend
Seems they play in a bluegrass band (Snoopy on guitar of course)

But "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" features the greatest holiday meal ever concocted. Peppermint Patty was an ungrateful brat for not appreciating the culinary genius of Charlie Brown, Linus, Snoopy and Woodstock.

Good.
