Does anyone know when this is going to be on network tv? We don't want to miss it.

I finally found out when it will be on.

Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 8pm. ABC, I think.

I could never understand when I was a kid (still can't really) why people were giving him rocks instead of candy! Poor Charlie Brown.

One of the joys of having grandkids is being able to share with them all the wonderful things that you shared with your own children.

I've always been a fan of Peanuts, and when my own kids were growing up, "It's A Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" was a yearly Halloween tradition. Last week, I bought the Charlie Brown 3-DVD holiday classics, and our grandson has watched the Great Pumpkin a few times. I don't know who is enjoying it more, me or him! He has a plush Snoopy that he loves, and whenever Snoopy comes on the screen, he points and laughs. So cute!

I can't wait to introduce him to the Thanksgiving and Christmas shows.

I don't get it either, but DS13 thinks it's hilarious and wants to give out rocks for Halloween.

It could be due to his costume mishap.

I purchased this special about 25 years ago, on VHS tape.

I sometimes get the urge to watch it during the summer, along with other holiday specials(I have tons of them!).

The darn thing still plays just about as good as when I first purchased it, though I should "retire" it and buy it on DVD!

My desk is very close to the shelves where we keep our videos/DVD's so I just glanced and didn't see my VHS copy of Charlie Brown's Halloween so I got up to investigate further...and it seems that my copy has disappeared. I will have to ask my kids which one of them took it.

Or just buy the DVD set, like some of you have mentioned.
