Easy enough to find this online yourself, but here's a link to the video. Nothing takes me back like a Charlie Brown holiday special. Just needs that groovy CBS Special Presentation bumper.

I miss the Dolly Madison commercials they used to play with all the Peanuts Specials.
I don't even know if Dolly Madison still exists or it was purchased by another company.
I'm sure we'll pull our Great Pumpkin DVD out tonight to watch after the trick-or-treating.
As a side note, I think PBS is replaying the Charles Schulz documentary late tonight."The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."

watched it again last night with my boys...first time for my 3 year-old. He wants to go sit in a pumpkin patch tonight dressed in his Superman costume.Comment

We watched it last night...what I want to know is what kind of neighborhood are these kids living in where adults are handing out rocks?
I think Dolly Madison was purchased at some point by Hostess...you can still find Zingers in the stores today but they're made by the company that owns Hostess.Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! My favorite Peanuts Movie. Shultz was in the top ten list of highest grossing dead celebs this year.

Here comes that Brown kid...maybe if we give him a freakin' rock for a treat, he'll
get the hint and stop flying his kite by our bedroom window while we're trying
to fornicate!"No. No no no no no no. You done got me talkin' politics. I didn't wanna'. Like I said y'all, I'm just happy to be alive. I think I'll scoot over here right by this winda', let this beautiful carriage rock me to sleep, and dream about how lucky I am." - Chris MannixComment

Maybe they gave him a rock because he had a poorly made costume. Like coal for bad kids at Christmas, a rock for a bad costume at Halloween. That's always been my theory, flawed as it may be.

Foxtrots comic last Sunday was in honor of Charlie Brown.
Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?Comment

That Foxtrot was pretty good!
My son doesn't understand why all the kids are mean to Charlie Brown. It really bothers him. I don't think I even picked up on that part of it until I was 7 or so.
The thing that bothers me about Peanuts is why all the kids wander into each others houses at random with no parents around. If everyone hates Charlie Brown so much, why don't the get the hell out of his house?

You never see an adult in any of the Charlie Brown episodes or comic strips and whenever an adult does talk all you hear is "Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa."
We watched it last night and my kids wanted to know why the Van Pelt parents left Linus in the pumpkin patch all night long without worrying about him and it was his sister who went to retrieve him.
As far as hating Charlie Brown, most of it is just his own insecurities, not hatred. There are a few girls who tease him like Violet and of course Lucy (who pretty much hates everyone and supposedly is based on Charles Schulz's first wife...what a way to get back at an ex-spouse), but he does have friends like Linus, Franklin, Peppermint Patty, and Marcie."The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."

I always assumes the adults were sounds because does any kid really listen to what adults say. I know at times I swear my son must think I speak klingon.
hard to explain to any kid born after 1980 that there was a time when parents actually felt ok letting their kids out of their site for hours on end. As a Kid trick or treating was an all night thing. now if your kids are out you call them every few minutes to make sure they're ok. It's mazaing how safe we and our parents "felt" before 24 hour news channels and hearing out child abductions and mass murder on a regular basisLast edited by ABMAC; Nov 1, '07, 11:07 AM.Comment
