"I got a rock": It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (10/28/08 - 8 pm EST)



"It the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"

Tuesday October 28 8/7c

The PEANUTS gang celebrates Halloween as Linus hopes to be visited by The Great Pumpkin, while Charlie Brown is invited to a Halloween party.

The special will be followed by a bonus cartoon, "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown,'" which features Linus in a run for class president.
It's that time of year again! I have this special on DVD, but there's just something about watching it live every year.

Ah, one of the holy trinity of Peanuts holiday specials. This used to be one of the highlights of my Halloween season.

Even as an adult who could easily buy them on DVD, I still love to run to the TV to watch the Charlie Brown specials. It's a time-honored tradition!

Especially worth watching this year as they are going to parody it on The Simpsons Sunday.

Thanks for the heads up, just set the DVR to record for my 4 year old. We got the Christmas special DVD last year and he watched it for months after Christmas was over.

Haha...thanks, Jadzia, that's a great story. I need to have a kid or two.

Unfortunately for me, I watched this on DVD a month back or so and questioned what happened. It was odd...funny, but pitifully funny, unlike when I was a kid and thought it was comedic gold. Still...good for nostalgia.

I'll pop in the DVD. Just not the same without the Dolly Madison and York Peppermint Patty/Almond Joy/Mounds commercials.

Shouldn't this have been paired up with "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown" for the back half hour?

JasonE - nice touch! That's what's REALLY missing from the DVD!
