Product: A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)
Rating: 5.0
After 40 years, still the Charlie Browniest of the Peanuts specials
Charlie Brown's lament at Christmas being over-commercialized and Lucy Van Pelt's small-change advice have made this classic the Charlie-Browniest after 40 years. (Good grief -- 40 years?)Holiday season dynamics have changed since A Charlie Brown Christmas first aired. It would be interesting to produce specials on how the Peanuts gang would celebrate such festivals as Kwanzaa, Chanukah and/or Ramadan, but, unfortunately, without the brain-team of Charles Schulz or Vince Guaraldi, it just cannot happen.Here's to another 40 years of A Charlie Brown Christmas.
