Awesome. Thanks for asking. He laughed for the first time on Sunday. It was heart-melting. Check the "Cutest FFA Kids" thread for some pics of him in his pumpkin costume in the next few days.Any cute stories about the li'l tyke?Great call. Time to introduce the boy to some greatness.

It's the 40th Aniversary, and it is on for an hour (usually only a half hour).. Maybe we will see the uncut and unrated version...

Worth it for the music alone, a real classic.

Nah, they're showing an election episode afterwards, which was made much later and nowhere near as good. It's also on the DVD.It's the 40th Aniversary, and it is on for an hour (usually only a half hour).. Maybe we will see the uncut and unrated version...

Thanks for the heads up!

Definitely. I own the Charlie Brown holiday special CD (by Vince Guaraldi) and "The Great Pumpkin Waltz" is probably the best track on it.

Nice - I may grab that. Love the book cover.

My 4-year-old daughter has been watching the DVD of "Great Pumpkin/You're Not Elected" for about a month now. It's interesting to watch her watching these shows, and taking into account that its all new for her. I can just barely remember those times ... but it's like reliving it all again with her.
She likes to pump her arms the way Snoopy does when he's pretending to shoot down the Red Baron.
I'll get a second go-round of all this ... my son is just 14 months old.

Not sure, but could be. When did it come out?

You're (pea)nuts.There are four great Charlie Brown animated shows in my book:1. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown2. A Charlie Brown Christmas3. He's Your Dog Charlie Brown4. Charlie Brown's All-StarsThe rest are just okay or downright awful.

1972, if I'm making out the Roman numerals on the DVD correctly. I'm sure Joe Cool was in the comic strip before then ... just meant TV.An Election Day special seems kind of weird in retrospect, but I do remember when they tried to push political awareness onto children in the 70s and early 80s. I guess that was the "hippy" influence on education and children's media at the time.
ETA: According to Wikipedia, You're Not Elected was the first TV appearance of Woodstock. That, I didn't know.

Terribly sorry to hear.Snoopy ruled. The Red Baron RULED. And Joe Cool / Mackin on the chicks? Gotta love THE ORIGINAL snoop.

Great flick.Also like "A Boy Named Charlie Brown", where he went to the national spelling bee in the big city. Loved when a kid spelled a word wrong, and the mumbling teacher voice obnoxiously said "WOHNG!", with the kid's face disappearing.

I called my daughter out 2 min before it came on. And when the music began she chearred like I did when I was a kid.
Also on a side note the Shrek christmas special looks good!!!!!

I bought the 3 pack - Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas for MY birthday this year. Sons, 4 and 2 years old, love them.Only holiday flick that comes close is the Muppets Christmas.

Dude Christmas Vacation is the best holiday flick

It was okay, my kids liked it but it isn't even in the same ballpark as the classic Disney movies.

Watched it again with my kids. In the beginning Lucy is watching TV with a TV guide in her hand when Linus walks by. Guess who is on the cover?
It's her! Never noticed before.

I'm going to pick this up.I've read a bunch of reviews; Schulz was not a happy man.
Lucy is based on his 1st wife.

Not a hijack, but maybe the link I posted in this will give a schedule of when this broadcast will air again.http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index...p;#entry7623243

My kids watched it last night and laughed a lot (10 and 7 years old). Snoopy dancing to Schroder's piano playing got the biggest laughs.
I think Snoopy has the funniest laugh of any cartoon character. Every time he laughed, I laughed.
The second half-hour was very lame compared to the "Great Pumpkin".

Next one I need to get on DVD. Always wanted to have a Thanksgiving dinner with toast, jelly beans, popcorn and pretzels.

That was with that cute, sassy little-red headed girl, right?

Last night my 10 year old said it sounded like the characters were reading out of a book. Very observant.

Tough audience.On the parent note, I always wondered why they never showed any parents on the show. Must be another Schulz quirk.
