It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
Tuesday, October 30 at 8/7c

In the 1966 half-hour animated special It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, The PEANUTS gang celebrates Halloween, with Linus hoping that, finally, he will be visited by The Great Pumpkin, while Charlie Brown is invited to a Halloween party.

PEANUTS focuses on the anxieties and joys of childhood as expressed by an ensemble cast of children who often seem wise beyond their years. Among them are the lovable Charlie Brown, who perseveres despite continuous failure; the philosophical, blanket-carrying Linus; the fussbudget Lucy, who dispenses psychological advice for a nickel from behind a concession stand; and toy-piano virtuoso Schroeder. Central to the comic strip is Charlie Brown's dog, Snoopy, who first stood on his hind legs in 1958 and became extremely popular for his imaginative adventures as a number of characters.

Sure, I have the DVD, but there's just something about watching it when it airs every year...

I'll sue!!!!!

dfmaverick2 10-30-07 02:35 PM

I had a little trouble with the scissors.

Timber 10-30-07 03:04 PM

It's only good if they still show the old Mounds and Almond Joy commercial.

I'm sure I'll watch it.

Shannon Nutt 10-30-07 03:39 PM

This is the year! I'll find the perfect pumpkin patch that is really sincere and I'll sit in that pumpkin patch until the Great Pumpkin appears. He'll rise out of that pumpkin patch and he'll fly through the air with his bag of toys. The Great Pumpkin will appear and I'll be waiting for him! I'll be there! I'll be sitting there in that pumpkin patch and I'll see the Great Pumpkin. Just wait and see!!!

Dammit.

Second year in a row I'll miss this because I'll be in class. What's worse is that I won't have time between work and school to get home and set the DVR.

Grrrrr...

And what about York Peppermint Patties!?!?! Or Dolly Madison Cakes?!?!?

"I got a rock." :(

I wonder how much ABC will cut out of it to fit it in the thirty-minute time frame.

OMG. They're padding a 25 minute show to an HOUR?!?!? That is insane. That's more commercials than show. I'm watching it on DVD.

55% commercials = NO SALE ABC -ohbfrank-

Yeah, me too. :(

To be fair, they're probably going to include glowing quotes from Bill Melendez's daughter, Charles Schulz's elderly widow, and the publicity guy from King Features Syndicate.

It's funny. I was just coming to post this, but, I see there is already a thread. I'm excited to see this, as it has been a few years.

Also, it is scheduled for an hour on ABC. It will be interesting to see what additional material they find to fill in the time.

superdeluxe 10-30-07 06:19 PM

Yes at 8!!

invisiblegt 10-30-07 06:22 PM

According to my DVR, there will be a bonus cartoon, entitled "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown."

I still use "I've learned there are three things you don't discuss with people: religion, politics and the Great Pumpkin" in everyday conversation.

you've heard of a women scorn? well that's nothing compared to a women stole out of tricks and treats. :lol:

MadonnasManOne 10-30-07 08:00 PM

Very cute! I've never seen "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown." Very funny!

That is the other show that shares the Great Pumpkin DVD.

The "Joe Cool" stuff was the best part of that one.

Fetzore 10-31-07 12:22 PM

Fuck yes! This show is awesome.

girlnextdoor 10-31-07 12:57 PM

I missed it - I guess I need to find it on DVD. It has been at least 15 years since I saw it.

BravesMG 10-31-07 01:18 PM

I watched this with my wife last night. I hadn't seen it for a few years, but completely forgot about the part where the Great Pumpkin is number two so he has to try harder. I cracked up for about 10 minutes.

FYI - Warner Bros just purchased the rights for the Peanuts from Paramount so these are all being remastered and re-released. From dx23's DVD Talk Thread:

The handful of popular classics long available on DVD and videocassette, mostly seasonal specials like “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,” “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” will be remastered and released on DVD with newly created bonus features and new collectable packaging. First up is “Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown,” due Jan. 15, 2008, followed Feb. 26 by “It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown.”

Sonny Corinthos 10-31-07 10:24 PM

I'm 39 years old and I watched it. It's one of the all time classics. It brought back a ton of childhood memories. Some good, Some bad. I deleted it after the Great Pumpkin went off. Was the other feature any good?

Never jump into a pile of leaves with a wet sucker.

I probably haven't seen this show in over 20 years, but I was cracking up each time CB got a rock in his bag. rotfl
