I have loved Charlie Brown specials (and daily comics) since the 1960s. I own Blu-ray versions of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Christmas, my two favorites.

People who don't like Charlie Brown don't understand the philosophy behind the characters.

Are there really people who don't like Charlier Brown? What sort of monsters are they?

I love Charlie Brown, Snoooy and the whole gang. Been collecting the vintage comic books wherever I find them, have toys, figurines... noticed I subconsciously started collecting a year or two ago.

I wish it was broadcast here in Australia, been looking for more DVDs of the specials!

Charlie Brown is my spirit animal.

Yep. They describe to me that Peanuts is simply juvenile caricatures telling childhood stories. I remind them of the oft-described truism that "schoolyard personalities remain the same throughout life."

...I can't really see the TV sbows/movies, not having a TV or DVD player of any sort.
I still love the comics, though.

Hmmm... We could have a look around and surely they would be somewhere to download, if that's something you do. I generally don't do any downloading anymore. I don't watch tv at all, but I will watch a dvd on a rare occasion. Mainly just read.

..Thank you. However, holding a little hone for even 2t-ish minutes with my arms, while lying on a bed (all I have in my room ) is a bit of a strain.

I can understand that. I usually try to balance it on something or watch things in segments and take breaks. I hope you find something that works for you, but reading the comics are always great anyway!

I remember the CBS Special Presentation Logo (LINK) proceeded Charlie Brown. It's awesome that such thoughtful cartoons as 'Charlie Brown' retained their popularity over the decades.

I had recently seen sketches of Charlie Brown creator Charles Schultz at an art gallery; after learning that the late Charles Schultz's home had been lost to the Napa/Santa Rosa fire. Much of Schultz's works are stored elsewhere in climate-controlled / fire resistant environments.
