ABC's annual tradition continues this Friday at 8:00 pm (10/24) its the timeless classic "Its The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown".
Being released in 1966, the classic Halloween special continues to entertain people of all ages. And is it any wonder why? Because its just a great cartoon, that's as enjoyable as it is memorable
Who could forget when the Peanuts gang celebrated Halloween? Linus and his belief of the great pumpkin was alone just great, having Sally miss 'tricks or treating' made it all the more better
Has anyone seen the special? Or anyone planning on watching it? I know I am
ABC is also airing another episode right after, where Linus runs for President. And ends up mentioning a fiasco, hm? it might have something to do with the great pumpkin oh that Linus...

I saw it a few years ago, but I have to confess....
I don't remember much of it. And that's not because it was bad. I was extremely depressed at the time, and I know I saw it, but I try not to think about it as it brings back bad memories.
But I'm sure it's a good program. I know it won an Emmy....I'll try to check it out in a few years.
(Great Pumpkin is a great topic to discuss though. )
(Speaking of Peanuts, one of the BEST Simpsons endings ever was when they ended a Halloween episode by going "Happy Halloween everyone!" and then humming a Christmas Carol in a total Peanuts reference! Even Santa's Little Helper hops up and down like Snoopy, Milhouse plays the piano in a profile of...that piano playing kid!)
You can’t just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!

Aww that's really sad Vi but you didn't have to confess what a shame though, missing out on a tradition, but I don't blame you

Yup, it is a great program, and if I'm not mistaken it won 3 emmys

Aww thanks that's what I thought

Agreed! That is one of the best endings. I just love it the Santas Little Helper part is my favorite
Even though it has very little to do with anything else, my favorite part of this special is Snoopy as the World War I flying ace. Of course, pre-jet warplanes fascinate me, so...

Me to , my favorite part being when he's pretending to fly. But when he's on ground and its playing that music, I think that's dull
I'll have to remember to watch this.
Oh do try , it only comes out once a year . (For tv)
On a side note, I can hardly wait for Christmas, there's 4 specials to discuss. Field day for me woot!
I have a review of I Want A Dog For Christmas to post, actually. I should get that ready to go. Quick take: I really liked it. Christmas Tales is on the same DVD, and while it's a minor entry in the Peanuts pantheon of animated specials, it's got that old magic working in it.
oh that Linus...
