XGatorHead 8904 Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 For all you parents who say your kids don't know the Peanuts gang, get them in front of the TV tonight! As I said in <a href="http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=19472&view=findpost&p=332351" target="_blank">this post</a> last month, we're coming up on prime Peanuts viewing season, and it all starts tonight! At 8:00 ABC is airing the wonderful "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", followed by (the less stellar) "You're Not Elected, Charlie Brown". "Great Pumpkin" (without "Elected") also airs on ABC tomorrow at 8:00 if you don't get a chance to see it tonight. Yes, I know it's on against the "Monsters vs. Aliens" Halloween special tomorrow, but NBC is re-airing the MvA special at 8:30, immediately after the first time they show it. <img src="http://www.KICentral.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> GatorGirl is excited about watching it tonight. We watch all the Peanuts specials whenever they're on. I put this in the Kings Island forum rather than the Multimedia one because I'm trying to help those parents who's kids will see Snoopy and the gang at KI next year. -XGator "I got a rock..."

standbyme Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 ABC is airing the wonderful "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" It doesn't count if it isn't on CBS and being hosted by Dolly Madison! And it's gotta have this also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLPhhu7e0bE&NR=1 Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 ^Nice link. And I completely forgot about the Dolly Madison sponsorship! Quote
Coney Islander Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Great! I'm tuning in! Anyone else watch these specials every year? Quote
markr Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 I used to feel so sorry for Charlie Brown when everyone gave him rocks when the gang went trick or treating. Quote
DropZone99 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 It just started, and I heard my mom in the living room say "YUCK! Charley Brown, how dumb!" Quote
Beast79 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Me and my girls are watching it right now! Quote
markr Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I forgot about it. I turned it on about 10 minutes before it was over. The part where Lucy takes Linus out of the cold and puts him to bed shows a surprising, affectionate side to her character. Quote
Beast1979 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Reminds me of why I'm excited for Snoopy to come. The show is just so much better then almost all of the Nick garbage out there, plots are better, charecters are better, and it's so much more age appropriate! Peanuts is one of those shows that practically everyone can sit down and enjoy, while Nick is aimed at only a specific audiance, and even then it's pretty vulgar for that. Every time I hear Lucy call Linus a "Blockhead" I think to myself, "What would Nick have said?" and then asked, "Were they allowed to say that back then?" Now the parents have no excuse when they say "My kids have never seen Peanuts!" April, 2010, baby! Quote

standbyme Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Now the parents have no excuse when they say "My kids have never seen Peanuts!" I admit, technically that that would solve THAT problem...but then there is always the "But my kids don't LIKE The Peanuts" hurdle. Quote
pcc Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Unfortunately, my kids missed it this year. I was in class until 10pm Quote

For those parents: when have you given your kids the opportunity to actually see/ read Peanuts? Quote
Beast1979 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Unfortunately, my kids missed it this year. I was in class until 10pm It's on again at 8 pm tomorrow. If you can't make it then, record it. If all else fails, YouTube it! Quote

If all else fails, YouTube it! Yeah, I'll be in class again...If I don't forget, I'll tell my Mom to DVR it. Quote
HTCO Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I honestly had no clue who the penuts where, until I got cast as Linus in "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown" at my school. Quote
standbyme Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 For those parents: when have you given your kids the opportunity to actually see/ read Peanuts? Believe me...I HAVE tried to enlighten my nephews on The Peanuts...to no avail...i'm beginning to think that this is what it would take: Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Posted November 25, 2009 It's that time again... the second of the five holiday Peanuts specials, "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving", airs tomorrow at 8:00 on ABC. I love this one, in which Snoopy fights with a lawn chair and sets the table faster than anyone else ever could, then he plays the chef and fixes the gang popcorn, pretzels, jelly beans and toast for dinner, and Peppermint Patty goes off on Chuck for not having turkey and all the fixings (after she invites herself over and brings all the other guests). OK, so this special always loses me a little when Linus does his Myles Standish monologue, but other than that it's great. It's paired with another Peanuts show, "The Mayflower Voyagers", in which the Peanuts gang reinact coming over on the Mayflower. Why they show this on Thanksgiving and not on some other less busy night, I have no idea. But I'll be recording it so we can watch it later! -XGator"I haven't even finished all of my Halloween candy yet!"Head 8904 Quote

Believe me...I HAVE tried to enlighten my nephews on The Peanuts...to no avail...i'm beginning to think that this is what it would take: No offense, but are you kidding? You think it takes pulling teeth to get little kids to watch a cartoon? -Jackson, this is getting extremely ridiculous...... Quote
standbyme Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 ^Malcolm is NOT at the dentist...look closer...or go rent "A Clockwork Orange"! Quote
Beast1979 Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I know, I was using the term pulling teeth, not as a reference to that, disturbing image. Quote
Beast1979 Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 And for all of you who still say their kids don't know Snoopy, the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade is on. Snoopy is included in the lineup. Quote
CedarPointer Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Do kids have to be forced to watch Spongebob? Just saying... (and, just for the record, I think Spongebob is terrible ) Quote
Browntggrr Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 -Jackson, this is getting extremely ridiculous...... Getting? It's been ridiculous. Quote
Coaster Kid Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Do kids have to be forced to watch Spongebob? Just saying... (and, just for the record, I think Spongebob is terrible ) I can not stand that laughter I turn the channel right when it gets on. Quote
Sergeant Pepper Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" is on right now on ABC, then "Snoopy Come Home" Quote
HTCO Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 Do kids have to be forced to watch Spongebob? Just saying... (and, just for the record, I think Spongebob is terrible ) May I ask why you thing Spongebob is "terrible"? I think 'terrible' is a very strong word, kind of like 'hate'. You could say... "I think Spongebob is not very good", or "I don't enjoy it". But please don't use terrible. A good example of something terrible is 9/11, or people dying left and right in the war... I'll stop there before I get on a soap box. Quote
Diamondback96 Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" is on right now on ABC Only in the Cincinatti area, though. I don't get it locally here in Indiana. Quote
