I read that article this morning, it is very good. The wife and I are HUGE Peanuts fans. We own pretty much all the cartoons on DVD and watch them all year round. I am sorry to say that I do not know when it will air this year, we are just going to watch the DVD. Best of luck finding it.

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

Does anyone know when this will be airing on TV this year? I can't find it online!

You're too funny PSG.
You don't really believe all that Great Pumpkin stuff do ya?
(If so, I have some prime real estate in Florida you may be interested in. )

But in answer to your question, I found this (from last year): http://www.allbusiness.com/services/business-services-miscellaneous-business/4704577-1.html

Which seems to indicate that it airs on it's anniversary each year. So maybe it will be on October 26th or 27th? [huh]

I just this minute got off the phone with a friend of mine who mentioned that he watches this every year.

I haven't seen it in years but I think I'm gonna try to catch it this year.

I feel unclean and doomed if I miss it, so I try to watch it every year. I haven't bought the DVD because I want it to be a special ritual. What can I say? I'm a 39 year old kid.

MajorNick, is the land cheap?

MajorNick, is the land cheap?

Dirt cheap.
I know what ya mean. It's a terrible feeling to miss a favorite animated special. :eusa_doh: Holidays just don't feel right without 'em.

I got the whole combo (Christmas special. Thanksgiving and Great Pumpkin) on DVD. I know, I cut out the middle man, but hey, I get to watch them any time I want now, commercial free

So like me, you miss the old CBS spinning "SPECIAL" graphic and the show being sponsered by York Peppermint Patties!

 

[Rosie]

Oooo, this is always great to catch on the telly.

Some things are just better on t.v. like,

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
The Life and Times of Santa Claus
That Twas the Night Before Christmas with the mouse family and of course
Frosty the Snowman. Great fun!

Before York, it was sponsored by Dolly Madison snack cakes.

Something about watching it on TV with the commercials that invokes the feelings of Halloween past.

Before York, it was sponsored by Dolly Madison snack cakes.

Yes, I loved the old Dolly Madison ads.

We have the DVD and make an annual event of watching it with our daughters every year along with the other Peanuts holiday cartoons.

Or Santa riding the Norelco electric shaver, or the "Carol of the Bells" Andre Champagne commercial, or the "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" commercial that had the songwriters scrambling to turn it into a full-length song after a flood of demand?

Yup, no DVR, no DVD....you HAD to be there watching it!

 

[PrettySquareGal]

I will say that I found some of the York Peppermint Patty commercials disturbing, like the woman moaning "Oh OH Oh! Oh OH Oh! lol
