Peanuts take over TV

Friday night, Fox will show Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown as the first hour of prime time.

Add that to the hour-long I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown that aired on Monday, and that makes three hours of prime-time weekday network programming for Peanuts this week. It’s like it’s CSI or something!
