BikeBookBread Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 This notice is too late for half of the country, but I just found out this classic Charlie Brown special is on tonight - 8/7 c on ABC! We're getting our popcorn ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersmom Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 My 10 year old son watched the video so so many times (100?) when he was little that his nickname is "Pumpkin". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 We have the Christmas and Easter special on DVD. I really, really, really try to limit their viewing of them to around the associated holidays -- call me a Grinch (we have that one, too). I'm just SO sentimental about all of the Charlie Brown specials! Isn't it funny how as kids we looked forward ALL YEAR LONG to see a special? Then it was gone and we had to wait an ENTIRE year to see it again? Remember how they used to be sponsored by Dolly Madison? And that swirly "CBS SPECIAL" graphic would come on right before? You KNEW it was going to be good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom3tn Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Oh man! I totally forgot about it and we missed it! We have a lot of the Peanuts videos, but we don't have that one. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plucky Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I love those shows. They are so nostalgic for me. My kids tolerate them for my sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibraryLover Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Bzzzzzzzt. That is on DVD. I can't imagine watching this on commercial tv. But for the record, what was your fav advert? It's too early for the Norelco sled, right? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AprilTN Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 The funny thing is that I enjoy it MORE when it runs on television. I'm sure it is a nostalgia thing. Just the sound of their voices, the style, and the music gives me the warm fuzzies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) My girls laughed hysterically at Snoopy flying his Sopwith Camel! I have NOOOOO idea why. My husband and I agreed, though, that not many kids of this generation are going to have any idea why the songs that Schroeder played, and Snoopy marched and cried to, were so meaningful. Glad I'm homeschooling so my kids will learn about WWI. The funny thing is that I enjoy it MORE when it runs on television. I'm sure it is a nostalgia thing. Just the sound of their voices, the style, and the music gives me the warm fuzzies. I completely agree.

newbie Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 We dont get the regular channels. So last yr. I broke down and bought all the Charlie Brown holiday videos. Even though the girls are older. These are just classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amydavis Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I have such fond memories of these specials too. I remember how excited my brother and I got when we saw the swirly logo, because you knew it was going to be something great! We don't own this one, but we do own the Christmas one. And we have all the classic Christmas specials, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Rudolph, etc. I also agree about limiting them. I pack away all holiday videos/cds/books with the decorations, so that they will be a treat that is only available that one time of year. However, it does seem more special to actually catch it on t.v. I LOVE this time of year and all the holiday specials!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
