Complete but delayed Peanuts

RiffTraxVolume 23 of the Complete Peanuts series has moved from the series traditional place on the schedule back to a release on the Fourth of July. This volume, which covers the years 1995 and 1996 (yes, we’re getting close to the end, folks) has an introduction by… RiffTrax. Yes, it’s by a group. For those of you who are unfamiliar with RiffTrax, it’s a project from some of the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000, a great TV series which showed generally bad movies and had characters doing running humorous commentary about the film. RiffTrax is much the same thing, only they offer recorded comment tracks to go with other movies. Funny folks.
