As many have already heard for the first time in over 50 years, “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” will not be airing on public TV, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be included in my Halloween run down.
The popular kids Halloween special is iconic to Halloween and after searching the web to find other avenues for watching this, I discovered it is now on Apple + TV. In addition to Peanuts Halloween special, Apple +TV will also be airing the Thanksgiving and Christmas specials as well.
Let’s get into the review.
The Peanut’s special, “It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” first aired on 1966 and it’s overall theme is over Linus’ imagination of a great being choosing a special pumpkin patch to appear and give toys and candy to all the kids on Halloween. The idea takes after the “Santa Theme” that we celebrate only with pumpkins and is attracting and appealing to all ages. There is no scary elements, just “Peanuts” for the sake of Charlie Brown, Sally, Linus and Lucy. This special is a classic and one that should definitely be watched at least once either on or before Halloween.
