‘It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’ won’t appear on broadcast TV this year
It will air through the Apple TV app or the Apple TV website
(Gray News) – A Halloween tradition will be a bit different this year.
For the first time ever, “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” won’t air on broadcast television.
AppleTV+ now holds the rights and will stream it at no cost to all viewers from Oct. 30 – Nov. 1 through the Apple TV app or the Apple TV website.
Subscribers to AppleTV+ can watch the shows outside of those times.
“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” first aired in 1966.
The streaming service also tells viewers to “get ready for more Peanuts specials this holiday season,” including “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”
There will also be free viewing windows for those two shows. [Reply]
Never cared for Peanuts. We only watched it as kids because we were desperate for cartoons.
Peppermint Patty bugged the shit outa me.
Franklin was a cool kat though [Reply]

Yeah I should totally let my 3 year old learn to call other kids names and bully them. Thanks CP, I have learned the errors of my ways. I will start reading her excerpts from DC right away.

I'm sure the other reindeer and their microagressions won't be tolerated forever. :-)
It wouldn't surprise me to see all of the 60's and 70's animated Holiday Specials to move to a streamer in the next few years.
The Rights Holders will earn more money on a streamer year round as opposed to basically 4 weeks out of the year, especially this transition era, in which Live TV is down nearly 23% across the board while streaming numbers are soaring. [Reply]
